SUMMARY:How to Create a Workplace Where People Like to Work
DESCRIPTION:Based on the book\, The Culture Question\, this workshop provides a guide for how every organization can become a great place to work. Workplace culture is the most significant factor that influences employee engagement\, work relationships\, and job satisfaction. Culture determines whether your organization will succeed – or even survive. It profoundly affects both the quality of the products or services you provide and the lives of those who work in your organization. The good news is that culture is something we can influence. By exploring six key elements that make up a healthy workplace culture\, participants will learn the answers to two fundamental questions: “How does your organization’s culture impact how much people like where they work?” and “What can leaders do to make it better?” \nPlease note: This workshop may be taught by one of the four authors of this book upon request. They are Randy Grieser\, Eric Stutzman\, Wendy Loewen\, and Michael Labun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nRecognize why a healthy culture is essential and a competitive advantage\nUnderstand the connection between culture and purpose\nImplement strategies for creating peak performing teams\nIncorporate key ideas for creating and sustaining a healthy workplace culture\nFollow a framework to change and maintain culture\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study examples\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically. \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nThe Case for Caring About Culture\nCulture’s Impact on Employee Engagement\nHow to Define Purpose and Values\nCommunicating Your Purpose and Values\nProviding Meaningful Work\nPractical Ways to Make Work More Meaningful\nFocusing Your Leadership Team on People\nDirective Versus Empowering Leadership\nWhy Meaningful Relationships Matter\nHow to Foster Meaningful Relationships\nCreating Peak Performing Teams\nFoster Identification and Facilitate Interdependence\nPracticing Constructive Conflict Management\nKey’s to Transforming Conflict\nHow to Change Culture\nCultural Health Assessment Questionnaire\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an intermediate-advanced level workshop for leaders\, managers\, supervisors\, human resource personnel\, and anyone who influences culture in the workplace. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Randy Grieser\nFounder & Advisor\nRandy (he/him) is the founder\, former CEO\, and current Advisor of ACHIEVE Centre for Leadership.

SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people have trouble being effective in their roles or working well with others? It is usually not because they lack skills; rather\, it is often because they lack emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence has a far greater impact on people’s ability to be productive and work well with others than cognitive intelligence. Emotionally intelligent people are able to identify and assess their emotions and those of others\, and then use that information to guide their actions and influence the actions of others. This workshop reviews how to utilize emotional intelligence more effectively through self-assessment and skill development exercises. Participants will learn strategies that will increase their ability to engage with others and expand their influence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the concept of emotional intelligence\, and explain why it matters and how to develop it\nExplain how their influence is connected to their emotional intelligence\nRecognize and master their own emotions\nIdentify and respond to the emotions of others with intelligence\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study exercises\, experiential practice\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nKey Aspects of Emotional Intelligence\nWhy Emotional Intelligence Matters\nThe Emotional Culture of Your Workplace\nEmotional Intelligence Self-Assessment\nKnowing and Mastering Your Emotions\nRecognizing Others’ Emotions\nInfluencing Others’ Emotions\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an introductory-intermediate level workshop. \n\n\nTerms & Conditions\nView our cancellation policy and other information regarding your live virtual workshop or for your in-person workshop. \nThis is a live virtual event\, please check your system requirements prior to registering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Dan Doerksen\nDan is a communicator\, leader\, strategist\, and perpetual learner who focuses his curiosity and energy towards helping individuals and organizations thrive.

SUMMARY:6-Part Mediation Guest Lecture Series by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association
DESCRIPTION:Episode 1: “Mediators; Not Judges\, Not Arbitrators\, Not Decision makers. What\, really\, is mediation?” 19th September 2024\nBrian Speers Register here\nAs mediation in civil justice has evolved over the past 25-30 years its relevance and process and core values have changed. What was once a voluntary process may now be mandated. What was essentially a facilitative process can now be highly evaluative. And that may be in response to client expectation or preference. But has mediation evolved well? The mediation process should be adaptable – but has it become adapted to something which is no longer mediation? This lecture will consider how mediation has evolved\, particularly in the UK\, and will propose that a recognized mediation profession should be the next stage of the evolution. \n  \nEpisode 2: “Can ADR transform a Society? The Jamaican Experience” 3rd October 2024\, 1pm BST\nJohn Bassie Register here\nThe various forms of ADR mechanisms are touching global societies and groups. Jamaica has been experiencing growth with ADR for over 30 years. This will provide a review of ADR’ s effect on the Youth\, communities\, the Legal system and Private Sector and a peak into the future expectations. \n  \nEpisode 3: “Mediation – The Changing face of Access to Justice” 17th October 2024\, 1pm BST\nRené M. Baptiste CMG Register here\nReferring different matters to Mediation is growing in importance allowing parties more freedom to be actively engaged in resolving their issues. Is it the alternative for Smaller States and their citizens? \n  \nEpisode 4: “Peace jurisprudence and constitutional reform- incorporating Mediation Principles into Supreme Law” 31st October 2024\, 1pm GMT\nJustice Vasheist V Kokaram JA Register here\nConstitutions must respond to developing norms of shared regional and international values of human rights and the rule of law. It is a visioning of a community of human beings collaborating to create an optimum environment for the celebration of our human dignity\, flourishing of our human potential\, sustainability of our human development and preservation of our species. But what all of our aspirations involved in constitutionalism cannot avoid is conflict which inevitably emerges in whatever political systems are designed. In my presentation I explore our baseline jurisprudential approach to the management of conflict and demonstrate the relevance of the DNA of mediation to develop new constitutional values and our instincts for peace. Can positive peace outcomes be achieved\, reinforced and sustained when we reorient our constitutional frameworks to a “meditative” and positive approach to conflict? What approaches to peacebuilding can be embedded within our task of constitutional reform to avoid conflict\, minimize its occurrence and harness its positive lessons? \n  \nEpisode 5: “Mediation Advocacy: The Ignored Middle Child?” 7th November 2024\, 1pm GMT\nGregory Vijayendran SC\nRegister here \nOpportunities abound these days to pursue a credentials and career as a mediator. As the “eldest child” in the room\, mediators guide\, facilitate\, nurture and set the agenda and pace of mediation. Clients new to mediation or relatively inexperienced are the “youngest child” who often need handholding and careful navigation about the process and practice of mediation. But what of the advocates themselves? Are they the proverbial “ignored middle children”? The speaker will touch on culture\, language\, ethos\, principles and best practices of mediation advocacy – a topic sometimes understated but mostly forgotten. He will contend that mediation advocacy plays a vital and overlooked role in mediation’s success \n  \nEpisode 6: “Interplay of Psychology\, Neuroscience and Conflict in Mediation” 14th November 2024\, 1pm GMT\nA. J. Jawad Register here\nMediation operates on a paradigm of conflict resolution unlike litigation or arbitration that operate on the paradigm of dispute adjudication. Mediation perceives conflict as a problem arising from the different perspectives and perceptions of the parties to the conflict and the emotions that get triggered due to such differing perceptions. It is therefore important for a mediator to understand these drivers of the conflict and move the parties to a position of understanding each others perspective. Therefore understanding the interplay of psychology\, neuroscience and conflict in mediation forms an integral part of mediation training.

The answers you get from a witness often increase the likelihood of winning your case or push the opposing party towards settlement. But what happens when you meet a witness whose sole task is to test your patience and skill? The ability to effectively deal with these witnesses is what separates a great litigator from a good one. This highly practical\, focused presentation with experienced litigator Michael Lesage will show you how to stay in control and get the information you need from difficult witnesses. Drawing on personal experiences and publicly available transcripts\, Michael will address common recurring witness behaviours\, including hostility\, forgetfulness\, obfuscation and evasiveness. By the end of the program\, you’ll have fresh ideas to help you: \n\ncontrol the direction of the conversation with a witness;\ndeal with different “types” of difficult witnesses;\nrespond effectively when a witness tries to throw you off balance; and\nprepare for the unexpected.\n\nEvery litigator needs a plan for navigating difficult situations in discovery. Don’t miss this opportunity to get lawyer-tested techniques for getting the most from difficult witnesses during deposition. \n\n\nMeet Your Presenter \n\nMichael Lesage is the founder and principal of Michael’s Law Firm\, with offices in Niagara\, Hamilton\, and Toronto. After receiving his B.A. in Economics from the University of Western Ontario\, he attended law school at the University of Pittsburgh\, and worked for a large litigation boutique on matters ranging from complex class actions to medical malpractice to personal injury cases. After graduating from law school\, Michael practiced commercial litigation\, professional malpractice\, insurance and personal injury law at a prominent Florida litigation firm. There he achieved the coveted “Peer Reviewed” rating from Martindale Hubbell. In 2012\, Michael returned to Ontario as counsel for one of Toronto’s largest injury firms. He subsequently started his own firm\, doing primarily business and commercial litigation. Michael speaks and writes on law and litigation related topics\, including for Canadian Lawyer\, Law Times\, The Lawyer’s Daily\, Advocate Daily\, and as author of Chapter 3\, in The Oatley-McLeish Guide to Personal Injury Practice in Motor Vehicle Cases 2018.

SUMMARY:Regulatory Offences and Criminal Prosecution 2024
DESCRIPTION:Understand the nuances of the regulatory regime/criminal law nexus! \nCan’t make the webinar or rebroadcasts?\nWant online CPD available 24/7?\n \nSubscribe to Courses On Demand\, our comprehensive online resource with 1\,500+ videos and 5\,400+ papers from CLEBC courses. This course will be added to Courses on Demand approximately 30 days from the original course date. \nWho should attend: Crown counsel\, defence counsel\, corporate solicitors\, civil litigators\, and in-house counsel at all levels \nLearning level: All levels \nRegulated industries are most often regulated by criminal\, quasi-criminal\, and administrative sanctions. However\, each enforcement branch requires counsel to practice in very different institutional and legal environments. \nOften\, defence counsel must defend persons accused of regulatory offences in parallel administrative proceedings. Conversely\, defence counsel assisting a client during an investigation\, review\, audit\, or other regulatory inquiry must be aware of when such a process might lead to a criminal or quasi-criminal prosecution. The practice is fraught with procedural\, legal\, and strategic peril. \nThis course will examine regulatory processes\, their operation\, and their implications for counsel who must handle proceedings in this dual-function context. The regulated industries covered in this program will include securities\, forestry\, mining\, environmental protection\, taxation\, and workplace safety\, among others. \nLaw Society of BC CPD Hours: 6 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics\, client care and relations\, and/or practice management) \nCourse Chair\nChilwin Cheng — Ascendion Law\, Vancouver\n \n\n\n\n\n*Please note: The in-person session is dependent on a minimum number of registrants and may not be confirmed until 4 weeks before the course date. \nAre you a member of the Indigenous legal community (lawyer/Articled Student/legal support staff/paralegal) or a non-lawyer Indigenous community member?\nWe value your contributions and encourage your participation in all of our programs.

SUMMARY:Can ADR transform a Society? The Jamaican Experience: Part 2 of 6 - Mediation Guest Lecture Series by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association
DESCRIPTION:Episode 1: “Mediators; Not Judges\, Not Arbitrators\, Not Decision makers. What\, really\, is mediation?” 19th September 2024 – Past Event \n  \nEpisode 2: “Can ADR transform a Society? The Jamaican Experience” 3rd October 2024\, 1pm BST\nJohn Bassie Register here\nThe various forms of ADR mechanisms are touching global societies and groups. Jamaica has been experiencing growth with ADR for over 30 years. This will provide a review of ADR’ s effect on the Youth\, communities\, the Legal system and Private Sector and a peak into the future expectations. \n  \nEpisode 3: “Mediation – The Changing face of Access to Justice” 17th October 2024\, 1pm BST\nRené M. Baptiste CMG Register here\nReferring different matters to Mediation is growing in importance allowing parties more freedom to be actively engaged in resolving their issues. Is it the alternative for Smaller States and their citizens? \n  \nEpisode 4: “Peace jurisprudence and constitutional reform- incorporating Mediation Principles into Supreme Law” 31st October 2024\, 1pm GMT\nJustice Vasheist V Kokaram JA Register here\nConstitutions must respond to developing norms of shared regional and international values of human rights and the rule of law. It is a visioning of a community of human beings collaborating to create an optimum environment for the celebration of our human dignity\, flourishing of our human potential\, sustainability of our human development and preservation of our species. But what all of our aspirations involved in constitutionalism cannot avoid is conflict which inevitably emerges in whatever political systems are designed. In my presentation I explore our baseline jurisprudential approach to the management of conflict and demonstrate the relevance of the DNA of mediation to develop new constitutional values and our instincts for peace. Can positive peace outcomes be achieved\, reinforced and sustained when we reorient our constitutional frameworks to a “meditative” and positive approach to conflict? What approaches to peacebuilding can be embedded within our task of constitutional reform to avoid conflict\, minimize its occurrence and harness its positive lessons? \n  \nEpisode 5: “Mediation Advocacy: The Ignored Middle Child?” 7th November 2024\, 1pm GMT\nGregory Vijayendran SC\nRegister here \nOpportunities abound these days to pursue a credentials and career as a mediator. As the “eldest child” in the room\, mediators guide\, facilitate\, nurture and set the agenda and pace of mediation. Clients new to mediation or relatively inexperienced are the “youngest child” who often need handholding and careful navigation about the process and practice of mediation. But what of the advocates themselves? Are they the proverbial “ignored middle children”? The speaker will touch on culture\, language\, ethos\, principles and best practices of mediation advocacy – a topic sometimes understated but mostly forgotten. He will contend that mediation advocacy plays a vital and overlooked role in mediation’s success \n  \nEpisode 6: “Interplay of Psychology\, Neuroscience and Conflict in Mediation” 14th November 2024\, 1pm GMT\nA. J. Jawad Register here\nMediation operates on a paradigm of conflict resolution unlike litigation or arbitration that operate on the paradigm of dispute adjudication. Mediation perceives conflict as a problem arising from the different perspectives and perceptions of the parties to the conflict and the emotions that get triggered due to such differing perceptions. It is therefore important for a mediator to understand these drivers of the conflict and move the parties to a position of understanding each others perspective. Therefore understanding the interplay of psychology\, neuroscience and conflict in mediation forms an integral part of mediation training.

The Parenting Coordinator provides information\, effective tools and strategies for parents to improve their co-parent dynamic and communication to provide parents and children some respite from conflict. In some cases\, the role of the parenting coordinator is to disengage the parents completely. \nBorzou Tabrizi Borzou brings his years of family law experience to his work as a family mediator\, arbitrator and parenting coordinator. He has worked for many years with Toronto Family Mediation Service at Toronto’s Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Justice\, helping high-conflict and distressed parties resolve difficult matters. \nBorzou is an affordable\, no-nonsense parenting coordinator\, with excellent experience arbitrating difficult matters and de-escalating emergencies. His clients appreciate his even-handed and compassionate approach\, even in the toughest cases. Borzou is a skilled and fair arbitrator when adjudication is required. \nFluently bilingual in Farsi and English\, Borzou brings a warm and tenacious approach to his work. He knows from experience that good faith negotiation can save families thousands of dollars in legal fees\, allow relationships to mend and achieve durable settlements that benefit families. \nAs a family lawyer running his own practice\, Borzou handles all family law matters with an emphasis on his top skill: negotiation and settlement. \nHe leads the Family Law Course at Riverdale and is a mediation coach for the York University Certificate in Family Mediation program.
