You Have 10 Minutes to Earn Their Trust.
No weeks. No months. Just hours—and the outcome rides on how fast you become the person in the room they trust.

In this 90-minutes video course, Master Mediator Lee Jay Berman reveals the trust-building and presence techniques top executive coaches use with C-suite leaders—built for speed, built for pressure, built for the mediation room:

- Rapid trust-building under pressure
- Personal power that speaks without words
- Executive presence that makes parties listen

This is the edge that separates good mediators from great ones.

The right question can end an argument faster than the right answer ever could.

Master Mediator Kenneth Cloke has spent decades proving that curiosity beats confrontation every time. In this webinar, he'll show you how to trade advocacy and control for genuine, appreciative inquiry — and watch conflicts transform right in front of you.

You'll walk away with:

- Hundreds of ready-to-use questions that shift conversations and
broaden perspective

- A framework for uncovering what's really driving the conflict —
not just the surface complaint

- Tools to open honest, vulnerable dialogue that leads to real
resolution — not just a truce

- A whole new mediation style built on curiosity and compassion, not judgment

You will never mediate the same way again.
