Description:
|
Two months ago the idea of online mediation simply sounded “interesting.” COVID-19 has changed the interest level substantially.
We have the “Godfather of Online Dispute Resolution,” Colin Rule, speaking to The Mediation Society again. This time we have asked Colin to assuage our insecurities. He will show us that online mediation is not only possible, but that even we can do it! He will give practical advice for conducting mediations; this will include advice on the how-to but, also, on the intricacies and nuances of being as effective online as in person.
