Overview

Emotions have a significant influence on cognitive processes that are critical to effective conflict resolution. Lawyers who can understand and work with emotions in this context are better placed to achieve successful outcomes for clients in conflict situations. 

Cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory, learning, reasoning and decision-making are all critical to successful conflict resolution. Emotions have a significant influence and impact on these cognitive processes – which in turn can influence the outcome of a conflict situation.

This course aims to equip lawyers with knowledge of how emotions impact on cognitive processes so they can better assist clients during conflict resolution – and harness emotions to create more successful outcomes.

The course covers:

  • types of emotions people bring into conflict;
  • how emotions impact on important cognitive processes in conflict; and
  • tips and tools for lawyers to be able to practically harness emotions to foster positive outcomes and support their clients with difficult emotions.

  1. 4.0/5
    Interesting, well-presented and useful
    I had an all-day tiring but successful mediation last week and adopted many of these strategies sub-consciously, but good to hear them properly articulated and "named". Will assist in future mediations. Presenter very natural and the video clips were short, explained psychological concepts in "easy to grasp" language and used every-day, relatable examples.
    Thanks

    great content. not just for work but life situations generally
    It was so engaging, loved the content, would like to do more on this area. A better understanding of this content would be beneficial to all in the industry whether its mediation, in court or simply on a day to day basis with clients and colleagues.
