TESTIMONIALS FOR PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS
“This was a very useful workshop where I took away many pointers on how to conduct mediations. The trainers (Aloysius, Marine, Sean, and Samantha) were very effective in highlighting strengths and correcting missteps where necessary, and it was a very comfortable and non-intimidating environment to practice during mediation role plays.”
Charlotte Wong
“The workshop was highly interactive and structured. The team was extremely professional and made the process and skills of commercial mediation easy to understand, learn and develop. This combined with the anecdotal experiences and 1-to-1 feedback gave me excellent insight on what to expect in real-life commercial mediations. 10/10 would recommend.”
