Workplace Mediation and Conflict Management

Please note this training is delivered via online long-distance learning through the Zoom platform. You will need a device that has a strong connection with the internet, along with a camera, audio and printer access.

The following are comments from recent PSI training participants who used Zoom:

“This course exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant to do it via Zoom but now believe it was the best thing I could do. I learned so much about how mediation work now a days on Zoom. I would have missed  that had I done it in person.” ElizabethSalinas-Van Orman, Attorney

“Zoom trainings are tough to make this valuable.   It was just more excellent than I could have ever understood. I am really excited about everything I learned this week in the mediation class. I am so impressed with how the class went.”  Jennifer Gessert LPC

“Both presenters are very talented and convey information in a clear manner.  Following along, even via Zoom, is a breeze.  I’m able to take notes, highlight, and draw diagrams from the slides that all helped my understanding of the course content.” Matt Harutun
