Elder Mediation Training!

Hi Barbara, 

I want to thank you again for the excellent Elder Care training you
provided. I thought the program was extremely well organized and very worthwhile.

Your follow-up on the items has also been exceptional.

Best regards,

Hello Barbara,

 

I've been reflecting on the 20 hours of elder care mediation training last week.  You gave us an incredible amount of valuable information, and I thank you.  I found day three to be most meaningful.  As I watched the Fishbowl and participated in the mediation exercise I thought how often I'd been in the same circumstances and felt right at home. 

I can do this Barbara!  I'm really excited about being an Elder Care Mediator.  Thank you for the your teaching and sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Read what a few recent students, now mediating, thought about
the Manousso Mediation basic and advance trainings:

Dear Dr. Barbara,

Barbara Manousso trained me as a mediator. Her class was easy to follow, practical, and provided real-world information that has helped me tremendously in my mediation practice.

As an example, Barbara advocates breaking away from "shuttle diplomacy," which is commonly used in mediating court cases. "Shuttle diplomacy" consists of the parties in two different rooms, and the mediator simply moves back and forth. Barbara helped me feel comfortable trying a more modern approach to mediation: one where both parties stay in the same room for as long as possible to brainstorm possible solutions to their own problems.

Barbara also started and ended her class promptly, and she delivers what she promises.

I would recommend Barbara and her classes to anyone who would like to improve their conflict resolution skills - whether in the workplace, their family life, or in court battles."

Dear Dr. Manousso,

           I would like to express a my most sincere gratitude to you for your mediation seminar, an enriching and thought provoking, capturing learning experience.  Not one moment of the seminar was wasted; all speakers and contributors were excellent in their subject, making it accessible and attractive to the class.  Dr. Manouso, you are a top master of the art of mediation and a generous, attentive teacher, who loves her subject and enjoys sharing it.   You guided us from the very beginning of understanding what mediation is to challenges you encountered to how to have an active practice.  You gave us important tools in order to become a professional mediator.

           As a career diplomat and a supporter of principled negotiation, I am especially grateful to the class.  Your instruction gave me the contemporary practice of an ancient method of negotiating peace.  I strongly recommend this seminar to anyone interested in conflict resolution, as a great opportunity for professional and personal enrichment and an important skill for adaptation to a rapidly changing world. 

Thank you, Dr. Manousso, EUCHARISTO!  

Special thanks to John Manousso as well, for his discreet support to the seminar.

Barbara, your advanced divorce mediation class was wonderful. It was jam packed with information, resources and practical tips for the unconfident newbies in mediation. For those with experience in mediation, it is a great refresher.  Your personal charm, knowledge, and extensive experience round out the vast breadth of the course. Thank you so much for putting this class together and making the learning experience extraordinary.  Even with no experience to speak of,  I feel confident that I can mediate and only get better and more confident as I progress in this new profession.

Barbara, just a quick note to let you know how pleased and proud I am to have recently completed mediation training via your training facilities in Houston.  As a retired executive (from one of the world's largest and most successful technology corporations) I have received thousand of hours of training from many of the worlds top training providers and organizations - and I must say, the training you provided was "world class."  Excellent topics, well managed class discussions and top-notch course materials all contributed to an outstanding training experience. 

I'm looking forward to beginning my new career in mediation and am 100% sure the training you provided will be the basis of my success.  Thank You!

Hello Barbara,
 

I wanted to thank you again for the informative, entertaining and worthwhile mediation program.  I learned a great deal and met some truly wonderful people in the process.  All the speakers that came to engage in dialogue with us were superb.  It was fascinating to learn about each one of their passions.  Now that I have found my passion, as you already know, I’m raring to get this train out of the station. I want to gain as much hands on experience as possible.  I can’t wait to sit-in or co-mediate my first real case.  I plan on contacting the DRC and BBB to get on their mediators lists.  If you or anyone you know has opportunities for an inexperienced mediator, me, to co mediate, I’d love to hear about them. 

 

Thanks again for all the guidance, support, information and humor over the past four days.  It was delightful.
 

Best Regards,

Jill Groeschel
