About the Mediator Skills In-company Training

A successful mediator needs a specific set of skills. The best way to develop these skills is by following a high-intensity, total immersion training program. Thanks to our compact training format, you will in a relatively short period of time achieve a deep understanding of what mediation is about. Our mediators and trainers Felix Merks, Elsbeth Snieders, Leon Hoornweg and Dominique Maas bring a wealth of experience to the training. You will spend two sessions, each session consisting of 3 days, with them, working on your basic attitude as a mediator and developing your mediation skills.

You will go into all aspects of mediation. You will practice the role of mediator. You will experience what it is like to be the mediator and how mediation affects the litigating parties. You will learn to focus on desired positive outcomes, rather than grievances, and you will help people to discern opinions from interests, so as to move towards a discussion about what is really at stake. You will also learn about yourself, your own attitude in a conflict, your strengths and your pitfalls as a mediator.

Customer stories

This training was on my bucket list. Deprogramming. And then reprogramming. I am super happy that I went.

This was a top training.

The three trainers each had a different approach, clearly complementary and an excellent combination.

The compact format works really well. I soaked it all up like a sponge.

Confronting and highly beneficial, working with three trainers who complemented each other. Practice and more practice is the best for maximum learning.  My allergy for soft skills did not play up.

Really cool. Good stuff. Went in-depth. I have really grown. This is working.

Intense and inspiring. Everything all comes together in the end.

Great to see how much can be achieved in a safe learning environment. I was pleasantly surprised. Learned loads. Had lots of laughs too.

Timetable for the lesson blocks

Module I (block 1) (3 days, on site with hotel accommodation or 4 days without diner and hotel accommodation. )

Mediation is the continuation of negotiations by two parties, under the auspices of a third party, the mediator. A lot of what is needed in negotiation is also important in mediation. Mediation boils down to an assisted negotiation. This is why, in the first module, we focus on aspects of negotiation which are essential for a mediator. This module deals with the Harvard Negotiation Method, conflict theories and how they apply in negotiations and mediations, communication, creativity, power, influence, basic attitude and its effects, in relation to personal integrity.

We explain the theory in broad brushstrokes. Participants get ample time to discover the essence of the theory for themselves in practical simulations and to experiment with it. We use specific exercises and role games, which are then evaluated, with the help of video footage.

Module II (block 2) (3 days, on site with hotel accommodation or 4 days without diner and hotel accommodation . )

In this module, we turn our attention entirely to the mediation process. All stages of the mediation process are examined, using six different case studies. As we move through the learning material, we talk extensively about structure, basic attitude and social skills that are required. You will get intense and extensive practice in your role as mediator. In addition, we deal with issues such as registration, continuing education activities, ethics and the institutional aspects of mediation.

Module 2 (optional) (2 days )

The first day we go into the legal aspects of mediation in depth. We talk about the mediation agreement, the rules and regulations, the settlement agreement, the code of conduct for the mediator and any other relevant legal matters. The goal of this day is to teach you how to naturally embed legal aspects into the mediation process.

This is followed by the practical day, in which you as a participant will lead a longer session and receive feedback (oral and written) from the trainer. If you wish, recordings will be made of your mediation, which you can watch back at home.
