Negotiating With Confidence |
|
Description:
|
Every day, we rely on our negotiation skills. Whether buying a new house, asking for a raise, deciding whether or not to own a pet or working out the details of a contract, we use certain negotiating methods to get certain results, depending on a variety of circumstances.
* How important the outcome is to us
* What the nature of the relationship is
* How soon the resolution needs to occur
* The personalities and power of the people
* How much information we have about the situation
In this six-hour workshop, participants will explore a variety of negotiating approaches, and focus on the benefits of interest-based negotiation, which teaches us to separate the people from the problem, explain why we want the things we want, and work with the other negotiators collaboratively to find appropriate and workable resolutions. Ultimately, different situations demand different tactics and the trainees will leave the training having more tools at their disposal for confronting various types of negotiations. This workshop is ideal for attorneys, business owners, human resources directors, and community leaders.

|
Description:
|

It is a form of dispute resolution for parents in which mediation would be inappropriate or ineffective due to high levels of conflict. Through education, mediation and case management, the familys progress is monitored to ensure that parents are fulfilling their obligations to their child while complying with the recommendations of the court. With prior approval of the parties and/or the Court, the PC may make temporary decisions, within the scope of the court order or appointment contract, to help high-conflict parents who have demonstrated an inability or unwillingness to make parenting decisions on their own. The role of the parent coordinator is outlined by the authority granted in the court order or the stipulation of the parties.
Parenting Coordinators assist parents establish and maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship by reducing parental conflict and the risk factors that influence a childs post-divorce adjustment. The overall emphasis is to offer children the opportunity to grow in a home environment free from the devastating stress of being caught in the middle of parental conflict.
Since parenting coordination is a non-confidential process, parenting coordinators document parental behaviors and compliance with court orders. This is usually done through memos and, if necessary, by testimony to the Court. The parenting coordinators may share their concerns regarding each parent and make recommendations regarding unresolved issues.
This training meets the requirements outlined in the Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee's recommendation 104/Rule 1915.11-1. |
