The First Five Minutes: Maximize the Potential for Success in Mediation [CC]
Like many important events, we often win (or lose) the most important people to the process during the first five minutes of a mediation session. Mediators should make intentional decisions about strategy and procedures to ensure a successful mediation. Decisions about whether to convene a pre-mediation meeting, who participates, and whether to include opening statements will shape the mediation.

Closed Captioned.
In this highly interactive session, two experienced lawyer-mediators will collaborate with participants to explore options for pre-mediation meetings and ways to begin a mediation session. We will begin by considering how processes included in appreciative inquiry, narrative conflict theory, and conscious curiosity may impact the mediation structure. Then, through a facilitated discussion and short role-play, participants will discover how to make those first five minutes effective and powerful within their individual mediation style.
