In Part Two, we’ll deeply dive into what it means to be a “strategically authentic” mediator. When is it effective and appropriate to disclose more of ourselves? What are the practical and ethical limitations? How can “showing one’s true self” empower and create positive change within people, conditions, and conflict? When does our transparency cross the line?

Together, we will discover how to bring genuineness into our work while simultaneously assessing the interpersonal dynamics and applying our core values to guide brave and potentially transformative choices.

About the Town Hall Series

APFM’s 2022 Town Hall Series, The Power of Authenticity, will explore how our authenticity inside the mediation room makes trust possible. Together, as mediators, we will practice applying core values to our thoughts, actions, and behaviors, to build sustainable trust.

We are excited to host a dynamic discussion about the core values that mediation thought-leaders personally rely upon, and engage in live demonstrations of the strategic application of these values to complex scenarios.

We will explore the power of authenticity to better understand how applying core values to mediation can benefit us as professional mediators, our practices, and our very humanity.

We hope you join us for this powerful Town Hall Series!
