Effective Communication in Mediation

Presented by Blane McCarthy, Miles Neutral and Jacksonville Bar President 2023-2024

We will discuss the following topics:

• "Effective" is defined by one's intended mediation result, 
• Direct versus indirect communication,
• Verbal versus nonverbal communication, and 
• Seven key considerations to advance the goal of resolution.

The program is interactive and there will be an open mic / free form Q&A session at the end.

If you provide an audience of 5-10 lawyers, we can book a session at your office and provide a catered lunch, all at no cost to you or your law firm. Please contact Blane directly at bmccarthy@milesadr.com or (904) 993-3520, if you would like to host this event or have questions.
