The Mediator/Negotiator as a Leader

In this webinar, we explore the often-underestimated leadership dimension of mediation and negotiation. Drawing from his extensive experience, Ian Rigden will illustrate how effective mediators and negotiators are, above all, effective leaders.

They guide individuals and teams through challenging conversations, model calm and emotionally intelligent behavior, and foster environments where trust and collaboration can grow. With strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and active listening, they bridge divides and build consensus across diverse perspectives.

This session will highlight how leadership in mediation is not about authority, but about presence, clarity, and the ability to navigate complexity for shared success. Whether You’re working in teams, organizations, or communities, this webinar will inspire You to embrace Your leadership role in every dialogue You lead.
