Center to offer facilitation training for mediators

Oakland Mediation Center (OMC) has an exciting new one-day training to inspire mediators, managers, supervisors, team leaders and any other meeting facilitator.

OMC’s “Facilitation Skills from Mediations to Meetings” training will be delivered on Friday, May 29, by Zena Zumeta of the Mediation Training & Consultation Institute. In this multi-faceted, State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) approved training, participants will gain the facilitation skills necessary to run successful mediations and meetings.  By using discussion, videos, and demonstrations participants will build on the elements of communication, problem-solving, and facilitation skills that are used in both group mediations and meetings. Participants will also apply these valuable skills learned in a role-play setting.

This training is benneficial for any mediator who has completed a 40-hour Mediation Training and wishes to enhance their mediation skill set or for those who need to fulfill the circuit court mediator requirement of 8-hours of advanced training every 2 years. This training is also perfect for any individual who is responsible for facilitating meetings and group discussions, including multi-party mediations. The training cost is $325 and includes the book “Great Meetings! Great Results” by Dee Kelsey and Pam Plumb. Participants will also receive a certificate of attendance as well as breakfast, lunch and refreshments.

“OMC trainings are great for content but also for the excellent mediation and facilitation techniques modeled by the presenters,” stated Bonnie Hanes, executive director of Oakland Mediation Center. “People will be blown away with the knowledge and skills taught by Zena at this training!”

OMC also offers 40-Hour General Civil and Domestic Relations Mediation Trainings to any individual who wishes to learn and enhance their skills to help others workout their disputes. Mediation training can enhance one’s current skill set and marketability, allow one to be eligible for the court roster list of approved mediators, and improve own communication and negotiating skills. Upcoming General Civil Mediator training is scheduled to begin Thursday, May 21. OMC offers a $200 discount for those who register by April 21.
