NLP skills for family mediators

What if you could use language more deliberately to help parties move beyond conflict? Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) gives mediators practical techniques for understanding how parties structure their thinking through language.

In this practical evening workshop over 2 evenings, you will learn how to use:

• Rapport & pacing – build connection and trust (a different approach)
• Meta Model questioning – uncover assumptions, generalisations, omissions and distortions
• A different take on reframing – turn blame and accusations into constructive dialogue
• Perceptual positions – help parties see the dispute from different perspectives
• Language patterns – recognise the words that keep parties stuck and how to deal with it during mediation
• Powerful questioning – uncover interests, needs and possibilities and move beyond vague or emotionally loaded statements
