Three Part Working with Emotions in Conflict Webinar Series
These three webinars provide you with a strong foundation for working with emotions in conflict. The first part reviews recent emotions research and bust some common myths about how emotions work. The second part explores how emotions impact on important processes in conflict, including perception and attention, memory, information processing and decision making. Part three covers emotion regulation and expression. You will learn how we can regulate our emotions, individually or with the support of others and discover a range of strategies for emotional regulation. You’ll also explore why and how we express emotions, and identify the factors that determine whether an emotional expression is beneficial.

WEBINAR ON DEMAND – Beyond Resolution: A Planned Approach to Conflict Engagement
Have you ever faced conflicts that are much more difficult to resolve than others and need a different approach beyond traditional conflict resolution efforts? In this session, you will be introduced to a planned approach to conflict engagement (PACE framework) as a distinct approach to dealing with enduring conflicts. You will learn about what makes some conflicts ongoing and resistant to resolution – we call these conflicts “enduring”. You will leave the session with knowledge of some practical tools to help clients, or yourself, more effectively manage enduring conflicts. These practical tools focus on turning avoidance into engagement; developing constructive conflict narratives; awareness of effective communication strategies; how to use agreements, power, and escalation wisely; and, developing a sustainable engagement approach.

WEBINAR ON DEMAND – Can AI act as a conflict management coach?
When I was approached by some developers who were working on an AI tool to provide conflict support to employees for low level conflict in organisations, I was sceptical but curious. I agreed to come on board as an adviser. The developers then ‘trained’ their AI tool using my REAL Conflict Coaching System. When I saw the results of this training, I was astonished. It’s not perfect, but which coach ever is? It’s not exactly coaching as I’d describe it, more like a human resources professional with good knowledge and skills in workplace conflict management. But it has real potential.

WEBINAR ON DEMAND – How Mediation Starts: Setting the Stage for Success
WEBINAR ON DEMAND – How to tell a conflict story
“We live in a world of ever-changing stories. Stories about ourselves. Stories about others. Stories about the past we build on and about the futures we dare to imagine… The stories we tell can give rise to peace just as much as they do conflict. Building a more just and peaceful world requires telling better stories—and that means building a better understanding of narrative and conflict transformation.” Professor Simmons is the Director of The Narrative Transformation Lab at the Carter School of Peace and Conflict Resolution, and the author of “Narrating Peace: How to tell a conflict story”. He describes four typical story plots for conflict, each with different purposes, challenges and potential outcomes. He shows how these plot lines work, using examples from climate change to genocide, from reproductive rights and gender based violence, to war and discrimination in education opportunities.

WEBINAR ON DEMAND – Mediations Beyond Borders: Witchcraft, Adultery and Other Practices
Mediating beyond our local borders can sometimes be a very different experience to how we mediate in our own country and culture. In this webinar, a group of experienced mediators who have worked in diverse cross-cultural settings will share their insights and lessons learned from these environments. Some of these experiences include being asked to help mediate conflicts around witchcraft in remote villages of the Central African Republic, and adultery in a refugee camp on the Thailand-Myanmar border.
