A 2 Day Event
Sponsored by ADR Atlantic Institute
Presented by: Michael Lomax, Lawyer/Mediator
About this Workshop
High conflict disputes are increasing in every setting: in legal disputes, in divorce, at the workplace, between neighbours, among family members, against employers and government agencies. They often involve one or more people with high-conflict behaviour, characterized by:
- All-or-nothing thinking
- Unmanaged emotions
- Extreme behaviour
- Preoccupation with blaming others
- Prolonged, unresolved conflict
- Drawing in many other people
- Draining energy, time and resources
Yet these disputes can generally be managed by understanding high conflict behaviour and using skills to manage the dispute that are often different from ordinary conflict resolution methods.
This two day workshop will help professionals gain insight and confidence which will assist them in managing high conflict behaviour in any dispute setting such as negotiation, mediation or court.
This workshop will be highly educational, interactive and entertaining!
