Program Overview
The Harvard Advanced Mediation Intensive is designed for experienced mediators seeking to deepen their skills, refine their strategies, and confidently navigate complex, high-stakes disputes. Through a blend of theory, practice, and case-based learning, participants will learn how to mediate power imbalances, implement impasse breaking techniques, structure the mediation process to suit the specific needs of the parties, and mediate across cultures.
Participants will engage in intensive simulations, receive feedback from seasoned professionals, and leave with actionable strategies to enhance their effectiveness in complex mediation environments. Ideal for legal professionals, HR leaders, executive coaches, and certified mediators ready to take their practice to the next level.
The Harvard Advanced Mediation Intensive, held at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA, requires at least 40 hours of previous mediation training with the Harvard Mediation Intensive or an equivalent program.
