I'm using each new area of work I undertake as a learning opportunity. Today I had to give a presentation to GDC, I havent done many before so I used some NLP skills to help me get through it. In other words, I became that skilled presenter forgetting to be too nervous and remembering the information I was required to get across. It was really useful snd I am anxious to read some more so that I can use the skills again and at higher level. I really need to get onto a course as I believe that what I can learn will be very useful to BM in the future.
I observed some of our new volunteer mediators doing a full mediation yesterday, they were very good. The meeting showed signs of getting out of hand and they succeeded in keeping control of the situation. Parties reached an agreement but I am doubtful whether it will hold as one party was xtremely confrontational most of the time, des[ite saying that she wanted respect. Interesting.
