December 4, 2014 – The Role of Flexible Thinking in the Mediation Process – ADRHub.com Webinar
Description
In high conflict situations, mediation clients often become entrenched, taking rigid positions that hinder the mediation process. These rigid positions can be a result of inflexible thinking and the inability to see the other person’s perspective. Rigid positions are often fueled by past disappointment and fears of future conflict.
Current neuro-science research helps to explain how the brain responds under duress. Some of our clients respond by working towards resolution, while others become entrenched in defended positions. This workshop will illustrate the difference between flexible and inflexible thinking as well as the obstacles to perspective taking and respectful communication.
