Mediation "This case certainly had some twist and turns, and it was a great learning opportunity to work with you. I learned a great deal from our experience together and look forward to our next opportunity to work together." Robert Boggess
Training Facilitation "You did a fabulous job of keeping us on task and assuring that we met the goals we set out to accomplish. The results of this meeting will have a long-term positive impact on The Conflict Center ... we appreciated the "value added" services that you - and you alone - could and did provide to our group." Ron Ludwig, Executive Director, The Conflict Center Conflicts can be complex and dynamic. In fact, our actions and our language have predictable impacts on inflaming or reducing the negative energy of conflicts.

Dynamic Dialogues Circles of Conversation is a community conversation model used by Zinn Mediation Associates to create inviting, insightful and organized conversations about current and potentially divisive issues. Carefully selected questions are designed to enable civil conversation on a critical issue among persons who wish to hear from and share with others who may have different opinions. The Goals of Circles of Conversation Events are to: Whether for a general audience or for a community of neighborhood, workplace or congregation, attendees with varying views are encouraged to join actively in the discussion. Emphasis is placed on the process of having productive conversations by sharing views and listening with intention. The point is not to decide the right answer to the issue; rather it is to gain insights from others about our differences and similarities. This model is productive in managing changes in organizations by addressing concerns directly and moving ahead with a common understanding of challenges, benefits and strategies. Participant’s comment: I thoroughly enjoyed the Circles of Conversation. I would love to see it used in "communities of discord" and also in families. Sometimes it is so hard to hear what another person is saying until the real essence of the issue and the solution, if there is one, is lost in the crossfire. Thank you for you leadership in this area of vital importance. Zenzal Carr, September 2008 Sample Events: July 16, 2007: Immigration Issues, held at Daniels Foundation, Denver Zinn Mediation Associates is available to facilitate Circles of Conversation for your team or community.
