Introduction: Professional Mediation Certification (Webinar)

Free Seminar Live Online

Workplace conflict is inevitable. Formal complaints, costly investigations, and damaged working relationships do not have to be.

Unresolved conflict drains productivity, undermines morale, and puts mission-critical work at risk. Under the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act, every federal agency is encouraged to promote workplace dispute resolution — and across every sector, trained mediators are in growing demand. This certification puts that credential in your hands.

Join us for a free 60-minute virtual webinar open to professionals at every level, in every sector — including federal, private, and nonprofit.
