PREAMBLE

Conflict Management: Conflicts are inevitable in all interdependent relationships. Court procedure is very formal, technical and inflexible and is best suited for criminal, constitutional and other “RIGHTS-BASED” issues. The process adversely affects personal and business relationships, leaving the parties exhausted, embittered and often impoverished. Alternatives that will supplement Litigation must therefore be sought as a matter of urgency for civil and commercial cases. Even in some criminal cases, the concepts of ’Victim-Offender’, ‘Plea-bargaining’ and ‘Restorative Justice’ are increasingly gaining grounds.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to dispute resolution processes outside of traditional Litigation. Mediation is one of the major and most effective ADR mechanisms. Mediation skills are life-skills for building and sustaining relationships. There is therefore need for lawyers and other judicial officers, leaders and indeed everybody to acquire Mediation skills - good communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills.

This course will provide participants with deep knowledge and understanding of human nature and with requisite skills for assisting disputing parties in an assured, confident and professional manner. It is a rich blend of legal and therapeutic disciplines - creating an inspiring learning experience.

Leadership and Effective Public Speaking:The world is in dearth of visionary leaders. A leader is a “change agent”, providing firm but sensitive direction for others. It is imperative for the effective leader to have clearly defined goals, a positive mental attitude, deep knowledge and understanding of human nature, confidence, keen sense of justice, creative vision, self-discipline, emotional balance, versatility and humility. S/he should have an attractive personality and personal magnetism.

Leadership gravitates to the man or woman who can speak effectively. History shows that the destiny of nations has been changed and defined by the power of the spoken word, by great motivational speakers. Yes, the ability to speak well is a short cut to distinction. It puts a man in the limelight, raises him head and shoulders above the crowd. The effective leader should therefore be able to speak acceptably in public.

This course on Leadership and Public Speaking gives a global perspective on leadership and will provide leaders with requisite skills for effective, visionary and sustainable leadership. It provides hands-on skills for optimal utilization of human and material resources. It will also imbue participants with oratory prowess, skills for effective public speaking - the mastery of the written and spoken word and the ability to verbalize thoughts with precision and vim.
