About the course:
Communication is an essential skill for all lawyers and mediators who must clearly and precisely
comprehend client instructions. Since the introduction of the mediation Practice Direction in early
2010 those lawyers who do not have practical knowledge of mediation soft skills cannot hope to assist
their clients and grow their businesses. At this course you will learn fundamental principles which will
assist your ability to understand and practice mediation soft skills from a fresh perspective intuitively.
Course objective:
The course provides guidance on how to complement verbal and written client instructions with
nonverbal cues using skills widely used by experts and skilled communicators. Participants will see
live demonstration of basic and easily understood skills and have to participate in an exercise on
detection of emotions and lying.
