Reviews of Our Mediation Training Courses
Absolutely exceeded my objectives ... Having mediated cases hundreds of times in my career, I found the shadowing experience very accurate – it didn't feel staged. That is what a real mediation looks like. The expert videos were incredibly helpful in that the experts gave war stories, which helped tie things together ... I was already familiar with mediation in general, having mediated for over 20 years as counsel ... As I completed the “Try Its,” I found little gems of knowledge and information that quite frankly I had not thought of before.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the course and how valuable I thought it was. I especially liked what Bruce had to say about the importance of emotion, forgiveness and apology in resolving disputes, and how joint sessions can help parties move beyond the trauma of conflict. His insights prompted me to reflect on an early mediation — a bitter business divorce that settled after a marathon session but then fell apart in the weeks that followed. After taking this course, I now wish I had pushed harder for the parties to meet face-to-face and make amends. It might have saved the settlement.
