This session explores the power of mindset in mediation, showing mediators how to guide clients in using self-coaching techniques to manage emotions, focus on goals, and approach negotiation from a place of strength and calm. By helping clients build emotional resilience and a solution-focused mindset, mediators can facilitate a more productive, client-centered negotiation process.
Presenter: Bill Eddy
This session will address 10 key paradigm shifts necessary for managing potentially high conflict individuals. The focus shifts to teaching clients four simple problem-solving skills to use during the mediation process. The structure and tasks of this approach, called New Ways for Mediation®, will be described, which can be applied as a complete method or parts of it can be applied to any mediation. The presentation will be based on Bill Eddy’s book Mediating High Conflict Disputes (2021), which draws on his forty years’ experience of divorce and custody mediation. The mediator acts as a guide helping the parties use these four specific problem-solving skills throughout the mediation process to gain a greater sense of ownership of their agenda and their agreements.
