Pathways to Intercultural Reconciliation

The Dispute Resolution Center of King County has invited me to present a workshop that will deepen the teaching that I offer in their 40 hour mediation training.  2 CEU's for mental health professionals.

3:00 P.M. - 5:00 P.M.

Explore strategies for applying intercultural awareness to assist people in conflict.

 Inability to recognize cultural forces and adapt behavior appropriately can be at the root of divorce, culture shock, frustrating or failed business relationships and strained feelings among extended family members, colleagues and neighbors.  Our communities and larger world offer us plenty of opportunities to witness the resulting pain.

This 2-hour workshop is for mediation practitioners and others who are familiar with basic intercultural value and behavioral differences that impact communication.  Answers to your questions of "what do we do with this awareness?" and "how do we help our clients?" will be taken up in this series of workshops.

Strategies from leading thinkers in the intercultural field will be introduced and applied to case studies and experiences of participants, as time permits.

Join us as we explore techniques and strategies to add to our conflict management too bags.
