The Center Presents…

An educational web series where we will discuss ADR related topics with special guest presenters.

• How to Get More Out of Your Group Decisions
  Presented by Kimberly Horndeski of Community Consulting LLC. Collaboration is key to integrating unique thoughts and ideas in developing creative solutions, establishing group buy-in for an identified process or solution, and fostering the ability to implement identified strategies. With all of the benefits of collaboration, it is still difficult to create a truly collaborative atmosphere. To be successful at collaboration, we must look at what is successful and what has failed. This presentation will focus on the strategies that amateur facilitators implemented in a group setting to troubleshoot a complex real-life scenario.
• Making Room for Regulation
  Marshall Lyles, LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S, EMDRIA Approved Consultant discusses how to notice when emotional dysregulation enters the mediation room and strategies the mediator can use to move themselves and the parties back to regulation.
