Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR)-

This lecture teaches people their alternatives to settling disputes, in addition to using the court system (litigation). The lecture teaches the differences between litigation, arbitration, mediation, private judges, advocates, conciliations, referees, and others. It teaches when you might consider one over the other (i.e., when to go to small claims court as opposed to mediation). *

This lecture teaches straight negotiations techniques, along with some mediation techniques, in order to achieve one's ultimate goals to the mutual benefit of all parties involved. (If the participants want to take the two National analytical tests, the fees are $12.00 per test-see details below.)

Communications & Conflict Resolutions-

This is a great lecture for business people dealing with clients/customers, employer/employee and management relations. It is also good for family, community and religious organizations.
