Conflict Resolution &
Negotiation Skills Course

The Conflict Resolution and Negotiation Skills Course aims to transform conflict from a negative experience into an opportunity to construct better relationships and add value.

Participants will learn principled negotiation skills for complaints handling, focusing on soft skills and theoretical understandings. The course emphasises that conflict resolution is a skill and a process that combines art and science.

The course objectives include building a resilient and collaborative team of conflict managers, understanding team strengths and weaknesses in conflict management, identifying different sources and contexts of conflict, exploring various conflict resolution models, and mastering essential negotiation skills for collaborative problem-solving. Participants will also learn how to manage emotions in conflict and de-escalate confrontations.

The course can be delivered in two full-day face-to-face workshops or a series of half-day online workshops, with adjustable durations to suit organizational constraints. Face-to-face training in a classroom environment is recommended for optimal outcomes, but online forums can also be used.
 

A maximum of 20 participants is suggested for the interactive course, which will involve a balance of teaching, group discussions, and interactive activities. The trainer will draw from various sources in mediation, psychology, behavioural economics, law, and management, with a focus on the Harvard Negotiation Project and Australian Ombudsman Offices' work on negotiation skills.
 

All necessary resources, including slides, worksheets, and learning materials, will be provided by the trainer. Organizations are encouraged to supply case studies and examples specific to their context for a more tailored learning experience.

  • What factors determine the booking of mediation services and how do you ensure the best chance of resolution in diverse dispute contexts?
    My mediation services can be booked according to the size of the dispute at hand. I have successfully managed complex multi-party disputes spanning a number of days, and short mediations of 90 minutes. Each dispute and each party has unique needs and I will work independently with all parties and legal representatives to design the most appropriate process to ensure the best chance of resolution. I am experienced at mediating across cultures, generations and dispute contexts.
  • What is your background and experience in mediation and conciliation services?
    After over a decade as a full-time panel mediator, conciliator, decision maker and team manager for various government agencies, Commissions and Tribunals, I am now offering my mediation and conciliation services privately. I am highly experienced in managing a diverse range of disputes and adapt a flexible mediation approach following considered pre-mediation discussions with parties and their legal representatives.
  • What qualifications and experience do you bring to the table as a mediator and mediation accreditation training assessor?
    As an experienced Mediator and Recognized Mediation Accreditation training and assessor I bring to the table a high level of emotional intelligence, the technical skills of a lawyer (Over 10 years PAE) and a depth of cross-cultural and intergenerational conflict experience. I am also skilled in Mental Health First Aid and understand the importance of managing emotions and relationships in effectively managing disputes.
