Training Summary

In mediation, some parties bring more than just their conflicts to the table—they bring deep-seated interests, power dynamics, and resistance to dialogue. Successfully engaging with these complex actors requires a nuanced approach, adaptability, and a deep understanding of human behavior.

This exclusive webinar for alumni explores effective mediation techniques for working with parties who may be perceived as uncooperative, highly strategic, or deeply entrenched in their positions.

We will discuss:

  • How to recognize and adapt to different negotiation styles
  • Techniques for building trust and opening dialogue in challenging settings
  • Strategies for managing power imbalances and hidden agendas
  • Real-world case studies of mediating complex actors in high-stakes situations

Designed for experienced mediators looking to refine their skills, this session provides valuable insights from seasoned practitioners who have worked in complex mediation environments.

Everything was so enriching and I loved this multicultural class. I think that was the main learning here because we learnt to be an international mediator because this is a huge cross-cultural mediation. When I need a co-mediator from another country, I will remember you.

I can’t think of one day where there wasn’t a direct clash with between IMC’s training sessions and my university classes. At the end, I skipped my university classes and instead joined the training sessions every single time because I learned so much more at IMC!

Having a diverse team of participants and especially the trainers coming from every place in the world, means they have their own ideas and points of view about mediation and this gave us a really wide variety of ideas to adopt for when we become mediators in the future.

From the perspective of a student, my takeaway was, within this course, that it is not enough for you to study books alone. You have to do real practical sessions and the practices that we had in this training during these three months were really, really helpful for me.
