APFM Webinar – Bringing Unconscious or Inner Thinking into the Mediation Process to Create Understanding Between Parties

APFM Webinar – Bringing Unconscious or Inner Thinking into the Mediation Process to Create Understanding Between Parties

This 90-minute presentation was recorded December 6, 2023, and delivers a brief overview of The S Questions Model developed in Gerry O’Sullivan’s book: ‘The Mediator’s Toolkit: Formulating and Asking Questions for Successful Outcomes. She focuses on one of the methods of questions that can lead to a paradigm shift in the thinking of parties, in particular, the ‘Journey of Inference Questions’ which explore a person’s journey from their observations and interpretations through to their resulting and linked actions/reactions.
