This training is everything and so much more than I was both looking for and envisioned, it is exceptional in every way. I was looking for and envisioned a refresher and reinforcement of essential mediation skills with an enhanced practical component. It provided a significantly enhanced practical component, with exceptional engagement of soft skills and other critical skills for communication in an international online environment of genuine collaboration and care. Thank you, Kathleen Ruane Leedy, MediateGuru and colleagues!

"This training has increadibly enhanced my practical skills, allowing me to grow as a mediator on multiple levels, gaining confidence thanks to useful exercises, team building through co-mediation, emotions handling through great improv drills. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone willing to become a mediator: you will deep dive into the practice and come out as a new individual, not only as a new professional. Thanks to the diversity brought to this class by my colleagues. Thank you Kathleen for putting 100% of yourself into this training, I never experienced anything like that in my life."

Ms. Federica Simonelli,

LLM,

University of Trento School of Law, Italy

"I am certain that this training is not provided anywhere else on the planet. I tackles all the possible scenarios a mediator will face in his/her career in a very open and honest and real way. It gets the best out of you, it challenges you in every way and forces you out of your comfort zone, it pushes you to test your limits, to make mistakes and learn to correct them, without hurting you or pointing any finger towards your weak points. I had the chance to learn from the most Brilliant Woman, the Genius Mediator, the one of a kind,... the indescribable insatiable Kathleen, as well as from a diversity of talented educated loving people. An experience I would recommend to everyone, and would repeat a hundred times again. Thank you for this!"

I am really happy to be a part of this team....Learned a lot in these two days... looking forward to have more labs and activities. Application based approach is the best part of this session.

Participant of 40 Hour Basic Mediation Training

Growth moments was role-playing, which helped me realize what parties appreciate and feel and what I want to include in my mediation as a mediator! I learned that I need to be braver in interrupting people when talking and more steady in managing my table

Participant of 40 Hour Basic Mediation Training

Growth moment as a mediator was about listening, talking, thinking and taking notes in another language different from my own. Also as a party, I felt really good by being listened in an accurate way by the mediator. Highlight was the great new mediators I observed, they did an impressive work. Congrats!!
