This program explores the crucial role time and pacing plays in mediation outcomes and the skills mediators need to wield time to the benefit of all. The program addresses the major factors that slow down mediation, such as poor internet connections, multiple parties, and absent decision-makers. It highlights how slow progress can jeopardize settlements, particularly when key players lose interest or run out of time. The session offers practical strategies to maintain momentum, including using time scarcity, managing decision-maker availability, and leveraging negotiation techniques like anchoring and bracketing. By fostering efficiency and addressing potential impasses early, mediators can enhance the likelihood of successful resolutions.

This training is created with a focus on Attorney Mediators.
