Now you’re talking…but could your voice be more powerful as a participant or as an intermediary (mediator, facilitator, dispute resolution systems designer)?
Excellent negotiators are not just born. They are people who have acquired and perfected effective advocacy skills. CDR’s Negotiation Seminars help you develop just the right strategies and skills to address issues in your upcoming negotiations. We help you get your interests met, as well as those of your counterpart…the key for reaching effective agreements.
Want to be a better intermediary? For over 30 years, CDR has trained thousands of mediators and facilitators around the world in Effective Mediation and Facilitation procedures that help parties establish positive working relationships and settle the thorniest of problems. In our programs, you learn practical strategies to resolve a wide variety of contentious issues, and how to work effectively in multiparty groups.
What can be done when your organization faces multiple issues or conflicts from your communities, employees or other stakeholders, and ad-hoc resolution is neither efficient nor gets to the root of the problem? CDR’s Dispute Resolution Systems Design Training helps you design and implement the right institutional system to handle both repetitive and unique issues and conflicts. CDR is known worldwide for the systems design workshops we have conducted for the private sector, government agencies, civil society organizations, and communities.
At CDR we practice what we teach. Our trainers are professional negotiators, facilitators, and mediators, with years of applied practice. We present strategies learned in the real-world and help you apply them to your own problems.
