I found this Mediator Certification training very helpful, very rewarding and it provided new insights and important skills. The methods are excellent; interactive, hands on training. The blend of theory, principles and practice (simulation) is perfect.
Shauna did magnificently; excellent job. Her presentation, interaction, timing, the way she transmits knowledge mixed with experiences of her own and others was really wonderful. Her sensitivity to every trainee was amazing.

This Immersion Mediator Certification Course was fabulous. It was practical, grounded and got very deep in terms of the places we all went and new perspective learned. This is exactly what I was looking for to give me the broader view and specific skills I needed to move forward as a mediator. I am a lawyer and have had training before, but this training is immediately useful and expansive.
Shauna’s knowledge and experience in this field is very deep, solid and accessible. It is obvious to me that Shauna lives what she teaches. Shauna was very organized and allowed us to flow the way we needed. I always felt like we all had enough time to learn what we needed. She is very gifted at communicating the various styles of mediation

Excellent connection between Shauna and participants. I played disputant and observer at different times; each role went a long way to aid my learning and ability as a mediator. It was helpful to simulate the Nigerian Sao Tome & Principe Joint Development Authority and getting participants physically involved in the role play.

Shauna has a wealth of experience, information and tremendous insight on human behavior and feeling. Her compassion and connection with each of us was an unexpected and rich surprise. Both the presentation and interaction were excellent. Shauna enabled us to feel as the co-creators of the training, which is, in my opinion, the highest of educational skills.

I found the balance between the information and the integration of the information (role playing, discussions) the most helpful aspect of the training. Another aspect I’ve particularly appreciated is receiving part of the material at each different step. It motivated me to be very curious and trying to match all the pieces was very exciting to me.

I would love to continue the dialogue with Mediators without Borders in the perspective of developing some educational program in the framework of the organization I have founded in Geneva, Switzerland; Building Healthy Communities.
