Let mediation do the job for you

Arthur Trossen, an experienced practicing mediator, longstanding trainer in mediation, researcher and editor of books about mediation also known in Latvia, shows ways through mediation making it not just a secure and professional but even more an elegant processing for the mediator as well as for the parties.

Wouldn’t it be nice to offer a secure and professional mediation and even more if it looks elegant on top? Like to get there? You simply need to know how to provide it. This seminar will tell about the secrets behind.

Security comes up if one knows what is allowed and what not. If one feels to do the right things. Participants will learn to decide this question for themselves. They will learn to better understand the features, distinguished from principles and the rules of art distinguished from duties.
Professionality needs facility. A professional is not afraid of obstacles or difficulties. Participants will learn why obstacles in fact doesn’t exist in mediation and how they can be switched into supporting features.
Elegance is coming up when things seem to be easy, when mediation looks like a self-running procedure. Participants will be introduced to the steps of cognition, which leads into the flow of mediation.
