In
this presentation, you will learn why our brains react the way they do whenever
we are in a state of conflict.
Learning to recognize when clients are experiencing amygdala hijacking
and how to help bring them back into their thinking minds is invaluable as an
attorney and as a mediator. In
addition to learning the science of our brains on conflict, you will learn tools
to help calm clients’ reactions – as well as your own – which can lead to better
communication, resolution and relationship in all of your
cases.
A brief section business meeting will be held at Noon followed
immediately by the CLE presentation.
Lunch is not provided but please feel free to bring your
own!
SAVE THE DATE: MSBA
ADR Section CLEs are typically held on the second Tuesday of each
