About Us
Cross-Pollinating Schools of Negotiation Thought
Building the Container
“Mindful Negotiating” is the container in which adult development, adaptive leadership, family-systems, interest-based negotiation, network analysis, neuroscience and mindfulness cross-pollinate.
Our purpose in doing so is to contribute to the mainstreaming of restorative justice practices by researching and designing the most efficient dispute resolution processes and to train those charged with its administration.
Priorities
Demystify “negotiating”
“Negotiating” is a fancy way of talking about getting our needs met. Whether or not there is formal “agreement” in an interaction, the needs loom large in each of our conversations and set precedents, which become norms.
While we negotiate with colleagues, acquaintances, friends, and partners, our first, and constant negotiation, is with ourselves. Understanding the competing parts we mediate internally is in and the better we can demonstrate leadership in the way we respond to conflict.
2. Make the tools accessible
Access to high-quality professional development opportunities are a of access, whereas the absence of capital is often where there is urgent need.
Our Big Law, Corporate, and Tech clients enable our low and pro-bono work within corrections, schools, and non-profits.
