Dates: March 13-14 at the Justice Institute; Resource
Person: Joan Balmer.
Fee: $150
The concept of power in mediation inevitably evokes connotations of "power struggles" and "power imbalances:• People
in conflict often use their personal power and influence to
minimize their losses or to prevent the other person from
gaining what they want. Mediators are faced with the challenge of assisting the parties to identify positive uses of
power, to diversify their styles in dealing with power issues,
and to understand the implications of their own spheres of
influence. This course will provide concepts and skills to
assist the mediator working in a wide range of conflicts,
including family, community and commercial settings. It will
also examine ways in which the mediator's own power and
influence affect the process. (A Certificate Program elective

SEPARATING PEOPLE FROM THE PROBLEM IN
CONFLICT SITUATIONS (#CR743)
Dates: February 6-7 at the Justice Institute; Resource

Fee:

Person: Sandy Berman, Consultant and Trainer,
Circa Enterprises.
$150

Difficulty in resolving conflict is often caused by an inability
to separate personal issues from the problem itself. Past triggers, unspoken expectations and assumptions and a low
sense of self-worth, all act as blocks and side tracks when
working through a problem. These factors often rise to the
surface non-verbally and, in turn, become the triggers for the
personal issues of others involved in the conflict. As a result,
there is a build-up rather than a move towards resolution in
the conflict situation. Through the use of practical exercises,
small group discussions and role plays, participants will
examine the factors that clutter a conflict and practice skills
to increase personal awareness in order to keep on track in
a conflict situation. (A Certificate Program elective course)

MAKING (#CR744)

Fee:

Person: Randy Boychuck, M.A., counsellor and

competing alternatives which represent different values and
needs. Given that people create their realities by the decisions they make, this workshop offers a set of skills and
processes to help reduce internal conflict in our lives. Participants will assess their own styles of decision making and
will focus on one of their own inner conflicts in order to learn
an innovative and systematic approach to decision making.
(A Certificate Program elective course)

Fee: $195
Have you ever wondered why your ideas are not more
accepted by others or why your proposals die an untimely
death? Influencing others is an integral part of most jobs and,
indeed, most relationships. This workshop will explore personal and situational factors which affect your ability to
influence others. You will develop skills to strengthen your
personal style and increase the impact you have within your

SEX DIFFERENCES: THE GENDER GAP IN CONFLICT
(#CR745)

Dates: April 24-25 at the Justice Institute; Resource
Person: Michael Fogel.
Fee: $150
Our society both limits and reinforces the manner in which
men and women interact in conflict situations. The labels,
judgments and reactions which surround us tend to perpetuate specific, observable, gender related behaviours. This
workshop will explore the ways in which men and women
influence the resolution of conflicts through their
behaviours, thoughts, feelings and attitudes. The goal is to
broaden our understanding of sex-related dynamics which
promote or impede inter-personal understanding in conflict
situations.

Fee:

Person: Marg Huber, communication and lifeskills

$85

Many of the participants in the Conflict Resolution Program
are returning to their offices, families and friends highly
motivated to deal with conflicts in a more productive and
effective manner. They often find themselves identified as
the local "expert" with the expectation of being able to handle the toughest of disputes or negotiations. Anyone actively
involved in conflict management knows well the stresses
involved. Since this work requires that one remain calm,
centered and objective in emotionally charged interactions,
it is critical to manage one's own stress and potential for
burnout. This workshop will increase awareness of the
causes and symptoms of burnout and provide a range of
exercises, techniques and preventive strategies for maintaining personal energy and morale.
CONFLICT IN ORGANIZATIONS-SYMPTOMS,
ORIGINS AND STRATEGIES (#CR704)
Date: February 20-21 at ihe Justice Institute; Resource

Fee:

Person: Mike Talbot, M.A., M. Talbot is an
organizational consultant in private practice with a
particular interest in organizational evolution.
$150

Conflict and dissatisfaction in organizations take many different forms. This course focuses on those difficulties that arise
because of differences between the needs of the individual
and of the organization of which he or she is a member.
What blocks an organization from working well for its people? What is the impact of management style and organizational culture? What are our deep rooted assumptions about
the nature of our organizations and our work? From these
general questions, the focus of the course will shift to strategies to reduce specific areas of conflict and to the creation of
sustained organizational change. Finally, time will be
devoted to reviewing participant's specific situations. The
course is directed towards those whose mandate enables
them to make a significant difference in their own organization.
