When The Lawyer Hat Doesn't Fit So Well

Topics covered:

• Why litigation instincts often backfire in mediation
• What mediators are thinking while lawyers are lawyering
• The four "lawyer hats" that don't fit in mediation
• Replacement roles: Risk Translator, Sequence Architect, Decision Coach, and Collaborator
• Tools for switching hats in real time
