Description:
The program will explore the intersection between neuroscience and
fundamental negotiation and mediation skills. With lessons from
neuroscience, participants will discuss the barriers to effective
communication and the potential science behind a variety of commonly
used dispute resolution skills designed to overcome these barriers.
Emphasis will be placed on the impact of opening statements, the framing
of issues and techniques for generating movement or bridging impasse.
Participants will also explore the structure of the brain including the
prefrontal cortex and limbic system and how these and other areas of the
brain are associated with specific aspects of behavior and decision
making. Emphasis will also be placed on the difference between gut
feelings and reason. The program is suited for mediators of all
experience levels, as well as all attorneys involved in mediation and/or
settlement negotiations.
