Have you wanted to explore more ADR-related books? Would you like a group to discuss ADR ideas, thoughts and skills with?
UCCR invites you to join us in exploring informative books in our common genre.
The next meeting of the UCCR Book Club will be January 16, 2025 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, via Zoom.
The book will be “Everything is Workable” by Diane Musho Hamilton
Conflict is going to be part of your life—as long as you have relationships, hold down a job, or have dry cleaning to be picked up. Bracing yourself against it won’t make it go away, but if you approach it consciously, you can navigate it in a way that not only honors everyone involved but makes it a source of deep insight as well. Seasoned mediator Diane Hamilton provides the skill set you need to engage conflict with wisdom and compassion, and even—sometimes—to be grateful for it. She teaches how to:
• Cultivate the mirror-like quality of attention as your base
• Identify the three personal conflict styles and determine which one you fall into
• Recognize the three fundamental perspectives in any conflict situation and learn to inhabit each of them
• Turn conflicts in families, at work, and in every kind of interpersonal relationship into win-win situations
Full of practical exercises that can be applied to any kind of relationship, Everything Is Workable gives readers the tools they need to cultivate dynamic, vital, and effective relationships in their personal lives and at work.
Following the meeting, those in attendance will choose the next UCCR Book Club book. Our plan is to hold four book club meetings per year.
The UCCR Book Club is not intended for CLE or Court Roster credit, but will provide members the opportunity to virtually meet and share in great discussions!
