MARCH Mediation: Understanding Conflict Dynamics for Effective Mediations with Kimberly Best

Understanding the biological and social drivers of conflict can provide valuable insights into the dynamics at play during disputes. By exploring the genetic, physiological, and psychological factors that contribute to conflict escalation, mediators can have a more comprehensive understanding of the parties involved and their own responses to those parties. Identifying these key mechanisms can help mediators develop effective strategies to de-escalate conflicts, promote a calmer atmosphere, and encourage collaboration. Mediators can create an environment that fosters open communication and facilitates the resolution of disputes. By combining the understanding of conflict with established mediation practices, mediators can further enhance their ability to guide parties towards mutually agreeable solutions.
