Miller Wisemans's own negotiation & mediation training and team building for work groups or organizations provides exciting and immediate improvements in:

•The ability of team members to achieve mutual, cooperative solutions
• Working relationships
• Workplace efficiency
• Communication
• Ability to negotiate effective agreements
• Employer, employee and customer satisfaction.

Ms Miller Wiseman co-founded the Negotiation Collaborative with Ira Gorman, LICSW. Business/Workplace mediation training for work groups enables the workplace to become less tense and more receptive to the needs of every person. Participants share their own core working needs, brainstorm alternatives for meeting the highest needs of each member of the group and reach Agreements written for them by the mediator. This translates into better services and products, increased productivity and higher profits.

Workplace mediation is a non-adversarial approach to conflict resolution. A professional facilitator works with differing parties to create a "both/and" solution satisfactory to both sides. Most workplace mediation engagements begin with negotiation training and team building. This enables each party to learn useful skills for resolving future conflicts.

Workplace mediation/negotiation training and team building have been used by:

• Private and public schools and universities
• Small, large and family businesses
• Hospitals, rehabilitation centers and EAP’s
• Mental, legal, financial and medical health organizations
• Police and fire departments
• Municipalities and employee
• Business partners
• Residential organizations
• International work teams
• High school peer mediation programs
• Exchange resident program for inner city students in suburban settings

Length of a mediation/negotiation or mediation/negotiation training can be one-half day, one-day, a marathon retreat, or on-going consultation. Fees are determined with the organization requiring training or consultation. One or more Negotiation consultants will meet with your organization.
