Our Training

 


 
Experience has taught us that the best way for people to develop negotiation, mediation and communication skills is through practice and interactive exercises, rather than lectures. Our workshops in Trinidad & Tobago involve a combination of real case studies, thought-provoking discussions, group exercises, lectures, demonstrations, and videos. Our training is focused, practical and immediately applicable. We use coaches to give you immediate and personalised feedback.  At the end of each ADR workshop, you will leave with a binder of reference materials, a Certificate from the University of Windsor Law School (located in Ontario, Canada), and a host of new skills.

Under the guidance of our leading international negotiation and mediation trainers, you will hone your skills in an environment that offers the opportunity for intensive practice and self-analysis.  Our joint ADR and Advanced ADR/Mediation Programmes are accredited by the Mediation Board of T&T.

 
"We effectively used the principles and concepts from the ADR workshops to radically alter our traditional competitive mode of wage and salary negotiations with the Trade Union. Though the Trade Union initially displayed reluctance to engage in the process, they eventually came along and our negotiations were amicably settled via ADR. Our relationship with the Trade Union has also improved as a result. There is now a greater level of trust for both our groups."
