Words Matter: The Necessity of Neutral Language for Success in ADR Processes
Are you tired of the same old boring presentations on alternative dispute resolution? Well, get ready to have your socks knocked off (or at least slightly entertained) by this presentation. This thrilling (okay, maybe not thrilling, but definitely informative) presentation will delve into the exciting (okay, maybe not exciting, but definitely important) topic of the power of language in ADR. You'll learn about brain science, the theory of non-violent communication, and how using neutral language can lead to more successful resolution of disputes. Plus, you'll get to feel like a super smarty pants (or at least slightly smarter) by the end of it. So why wait? Register now to reserve your spot in this hilarious (okay, maybe not hilarious, but definitely worth attending) presentation!
The use of neutral language in ADR processes is essential to create an environment conducive to successful outcomes. It can be challenging for litigators to shift from the use of adversarial and positional language; however, brain science research suggests that it is crucial to do so in one's role as a zealous advocate. Lawyers who use neutral language effectively are better able to reduce the stress and emotional reactivity inherent in settlement processes, leading to more productive conversations and ultimately to the resolution of conflict.
You may find neutral language useful at mediations, on other files, with coworkers, and even at home with spouses and teenagers.
