Dear All:

Elizabeth Clemants and Alex Yaroslavsky are getting ready for their January mediation training intensive, to take place over five days,  January 10th - 14th , 2011 in TriBeCa, NYC.

Who should take the course?

The course is designed for individuals who would like to explore mediation as a new career, add mediation to their menu of professional services as well as develop a solid understanding of mediation skills and process.

What's different about our training?

The training is highly interactive and experiential.  Elizabeth and Alex have developed our training incorporating their combined 30+ years of mediation experience to ensure that participants not only learn the materials, but also enjoy the training.  Throughout the training participants have several opportunities to practice the skills with the instructors and other participants.

What should you expect after completing the course?

After completing the course, participants will know their own conflict resolution style, its strengths and challenges.  Participants will also develop a new set of tools to greatly extend their ability to deal with conflict and develop a solid foundation in mediation allowing them to lead a mediation process from start to finish.
