Leading California Mediator, Dr Debra Dupree, introduces latest research to show how to create mindset shifts for people in conflict.
Past negotiation and mediation approaches emphasized a focus on strategies and tactics for working out the transactional nature of a deal, and the degree of parties' satisfaction with the process. Today, and in the pandemic evolution, we've shifted to a heightened awareness of how much our parties in dispute resolution have been adversely impacted, the toll it's taken on their mental health, and how much more important it is that we listen to what's going on for them. This includes supporting them as they navigate through to the interpersonal resolution of the conflict, not just settlement of the legal issues.
With the advance of neuroscience coupled with the pain of what's transpired during the COVID years, our mediation and legal clients demand a different kind of service (and attention) from the advocate/mediator professional. We know that feelings influence outcomes. We know that emotions convey information that can be used strategically if we know what to look for. And we know there are readily available techniques to reduce emotional intensity (without being a psychologist). What are they? This program presents to the advocate/mediator professional behavioral science strategies to bring this together.
What You Will Learn includes:
- Reframing conflicts and emotions;
- Gain a 'brief' on the brain: rational, emotional and behavioral aspects of conflict;
- Understand the nature of conflict and how it influences and impacts our cognitive process;
- Learn 10 common triggers and 12 distortional patterns of thinking that impact our emotional health and well-being;
- Develop a framework for deepening your focus and attention for deep listening and mindset shift.
This program is offered in a highly interactive capacity. Come ready to learn, connect, and share!
The webinar will be held in English via Zoom.

Dr. Debra
Dupree
Founder and President of Relationships at Work, Inc.
Dr. Debra Dupree, the MINDSET Doc, transforms challenging confrontations into learning conversations, taking the ‘sting’ out of conflict. She saw her own family-owned business embroiled in differences, leading to dashed dreams, damaged relationships, and broken hearts. She turned these early experiences into a lifeline for smart people who fear conflict by bringing in the brain science behind blow-ups and emotional reactions.
Everyone has a family – everyone has a need to work. But life doesn't always feel 'psychologically safe'. Dr. D works with families and organizations to build a climate of courage and curiosity to set the tone for meaningful exchanges to learn, listen and grow to stop the cycle of conflict.
Dr. Debra is a Dispute Resolution Specialist, Conflict | Leadership Coach, and International Trainer | Keynote Speaker. She hosts the podcast ‘Decoding the Conflict Mindset’ to bring ‘thought leaders’ to her community worldwide to gain insight when high emotions run high and tough negotiations are at stake.
She was recognized as one of the top ten trainers globally by SkillPath Corporate Strategies in 2016 and designated as a ‘Super SMART Mediator’ by the Los Angeles Federal Executive Board in 2008.
Dr. Debra is the author of three eBooks to date and numerous articles. Her book “Your Emotional Potential: How You Show Up Matters” is available on Amazon with all proceeds dedicated to “Kids Managing Conflict” (a non-profit subsidiary of Southern California Mediation Association where she serves on the Board of Directors).
