SUMMARY:Redesigning the Way We Work: A Post-Pandemic Guide - Session 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:What are the most important lessons we can learn about the way we work from after the pandemic? What has changed\, both for better and for worse?  What needs to change\, but hasn’t?  How can mediators help turn workplace conflicts in a collaborative direction?  How can we build better work lives? What skills do we need to redesign the way we work? Every workplace generates chronic conflicts\, yet few organizations have rethought or redesigned the way they work; or used conflict resolution systems design techniques to transform the sources of chronic conflict at work; or examined their “conflict cultures” to discover how disputes are being generated and prevent their reoccurrence.  Fewer still have conducted “conflict audits”: these reveal where these streams of conflict originate\, or designed complex\, multi-layered\, multi-dimensional\, integrated systems to strengthen their capacity for conflict prevention\, resolution\, and transformation at work. \nUsing use conflict resolution systems design techniques to prevent\, resolve and transform workplace and organizational conflicts\, this course will provide a post-pandemic framework for rethinking the way we work and using conflict resolution systems design principles to construct more collaborative and democratic organizations and institutions.  The course will identify new skills required in leadership\, teamwork\, feedback and evaluation\, and other collaborative processes.  It will identify theories and techniques to help participants shape a context of values\, ethics and integrity. It also will examine building innovative self-managing teams; implementing streamlined\, open\, collaborative processes; creating complex self-correcting systems; integrating strategically; and\, changing the way we change. \nTo register\, follow this link and scroll down. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: To get the full three credits for this course\, you must also take Session 2 which is offered on Wednesday\, May 5\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Implicit Biases: Awareness and Management in Conflict Resolution - Session 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:Biases are unfair personal opinions that influence one’s judgment\, whether explicit (conscious) or implicit (unconscious). They impact the information one hears and considers as well as how one interprets that information. Left unchecked\, biases impair one’s ability to think critically\, and can prevent critical thinking altogether. This course will explain why and how self-awareness is a necessary first step in reducing biases. Class participants will learn to understand of implicit biases\, one’s own self-awareness\, and the implications of both processes on the their practices\, particularly in multi-cultured environments. \nTo register\, follow this link and scroll down. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: To get the full four credits for this course\, you must also take Session 2 on Thursday\, May 13\, 2021.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Mediation:  From Revenge to Apology\, Forgiveness\, and Reconciliation - Session 1 of 2
DESCRIPTION:In this new three-hour course by Dr. Ken Cloke\, you will recognize that every conflict\, no matter how trivial\, points us toward a crossroads in our lives. One road leads toward anger\, fear\, confrontation\, bitterness\, and revenge\, and draws us into quarrels over the past.  A second leads us toward empathy\, acceptance\, honesty\, collaboration\, and mutual respect; it draws us into negotiations over the future.  Yet there is a still deeper third road that is largely hidden from view\, which invites us into insight\, discovery\, wisdom\, affection\, and heartfelt communications; it draws us into awareness of the present.  It encourages us to apologize; reach forgiveness; seek release\, renewal\, and reconciliation. It allows us to sustain openhearted relationships.  It wakes us up\, makes us more mindful of ourselves and others. It nurtures us.  This is the path of transformation and transcendence\, of wisdom and heart.  While revenge is complex\, apology\, forgiveness\, and reconciliation are simple\, yet powerful transformative tools\, and doorways to inner and outer peace.  They can be gigantic\, or nearly unnoticeable\, and can be integrated into every kind of mediation practice.  They can free us from the past and allow us to reach closure\, to let go of whatever has kept us trapped in conflict\, and move in healthier\, more positive directions\, toward deeper levels of resolution and relationship. \nTo register\, follow this link and scroll down. \nIMPORTANT NOTE: To get the full three credits for this course\, you must also take Session 2 which is offered on Thursday\, May 13\, 2021.
