End Date: 3/1/2018End Time: 10:00 AM

Event Description:
Mediating & Facilitating Multi-Party Disputes

This interactive session will feature mediator/facilitator/trainer Eileen B. Hoffman dealing with such questions as:

  • When you face a multi-party or large group meeting, what skill do you think is or will be most helpful?
  • When facilitating or mediating with a group, what is or could be your worst nightmare?

Commissioner and Professor Hoffman will discuss mediating and facilitating large complex regulatory and other disputes with equally complicated disputants in the United States as well as dealing with cultural, religious, and generational issues when mediating/teaching and training abroad.  She will compare and contrast simple v. complex processes and provide insights into how to manage the more intricate, technical, and mega-disputes while being mindful that in the end, all or most of the participants must agree.  She will provide an interactive presentation, complete with questions and answers, exercises, videos, and discussion.
