Part 2 of The Curious Mediator Program covers process steps and insightful ways to engage clients in co-creating their “conscious contract” (aka agreement). Insight Mediation is the foundation of this course - a highly effective and theoretically grounded approach to managing conflict, enhancing communication and building (or re-building) relationships. The Conscious Contracts® model is a process for creating sustainable, relational and values-based agreements, providing a framework for creating and drafting contracts that reflect the people who are making the agreement. In this course, you will learn how to apply Insight Mediation and Conscious Contracts to your collaborative and mediation work, with an experiential and relational focus. This course is open to all who have participated in The Curious Mediator, or who have taken another Insight Mediation course (like Insight Learning Group or some other equivalent).

For Mediators and Collaborative Professionals: Insight Mediation is the "fourth pillar" of conflict resolution. In this comprehensive 10-week training, we will start with a definition of conflict that makes sense for the relational work we do, with a focus on the challenging human behaviours that we see every day. As we gain an understanding of the “how” and “why” of conflict behaviours, we will learn Insight skills that help clients discover their own insights, so we can do the important work of facilitating their dialogue and decision-making, As insight mediation is grounded in learning theory - how we come to know what we know - you will experience the relief that comes from approaching conflict with a learning lens, rather than one of containment or avoidance. The goal of this program is to help you start asking more, and telling less, with targeted curiosity that brings calm and enhances the clients' abilities to participate more effectively in designing their futures.
