Six things I'd change about mediation –
a facilitated conversation

With Phillip Hart and Paul Gibson

on Tuesday 24 August 2010

 

Matthew Rushton, editor of UK’s The Mediator Magazine, challenges us to change six fundamental aspects of mediation practice, training and even how mediators see ourselves. Read the article. >>

You might disagree with his conclusions. You might challenge his argument or even deny his starting data. You will have to admit he is provocative!

We seek your wisdom. Hear his arguments, argue the case, inject your own thoughts and opinions.

Paul Gibson will present the arguments and Phillip Hart will facilitate a safe and lively discussion where you can say as much or as little as you want.

 

About Phillip Hart

Phillip Hart helps large groups of people have constructive conversations about contentious issues. He has many years experience in a wide range of contexts in the private, public and non-government sectors in:

  • communicating more effectively
  • helping people get the most from difficult negotiations.
  • resolving issues that have arisen amongst staff and clients

His previous conference presentations include such topics as: “Conflict specialists and public confrontations”, “Connecting with a hostile audience” and “Riding the tiger: resolving complex many-party issues”.

 

About Paul Gibson

speaker picPaul was originally a line manager and ended up running a number of significant businesses at quite an early age, accumulating quite diverse hands-on management and industrial experience. He’s been a broad-based management consultant for the last 20 years helping large organisations work their way through complex change and much of this has involved resolving conflict.  

Over the last 5 years he has specialised and concentrated on formal dispute resolution and conflict management.

He is a nationally accredited mediator as well as a graded arbitrator, but he uses common sense in most disputes applying techniques and tools that we would variously call facilitation, conciliation or mediation in order to get a result for the parties. Paul specialises in organisational and workplace conflict as well as doing some commercial mediation. He trains and coaches in mediation and has been adjudicating some of the Negotiation Competition in the UNSW Faculty of Law. He is a member of the NSW Chapter Executive and a Senior Fellow of the Corporate Directors’ Association of Australia.
