What does science tell us about human conflict – “Conflict Matters” conference
Brussels, Belgium - October 22nd, 2015
“Thank you for material and for the opportunity to learn from your research. I sometimes, very briefly include a little very basic theory from Neuroscience, when I do Conflict Resolution workshops and lecture about impulsive ( emotional) as well as more strategic ( rational)- and social- responses to conflict… Now I have a some more theory to add to my instructions and presentations!”

Intercultural and international negotiation and mediation
Paris, France - August 28 to 30, 2013
“Thanks to Jeremy, François and Juanita for this workshop which allowed me to seriously deepen my international perspective on mediation, a topic that I have often approached in my practice, but which I had not yet seen “theorized” and investigated in such a professional manner.”
Xavier Poulet-MathisAttorney at Law
“This is the first time I saw the richness of the synergy of three trainers during three days of intercultural training. And it is the first time that I had an introduction to the cognitive and neuropsychological aspects of communication and to the risk of manipulation through different techniques.”
Shabname Meralli Ballou MonnotLawyer and Mediator
“As a lawyer at the Paris Bar with international experience, I was happy to follow these three intense days of intercultural mediation and training, not only because it gave me new tools structuring my method in my mediation practice, but it also because it renew my enthusiasm about alternatives to litigation, which is too confrontational for my clients and myself, and not adapted to develop sustainable relationships.”
Isabelle LandreauLawyer

Workshop for negotiation, legal and ADR professionals
New York, USA - April 23rd 2012
“This workshop gave me profound insights into the evolutionary and psychological origins of individual fears and social conflict, so as to better address these fundamental issues during mediation, particularly in the event of an impasse.”
Robert ThonyAttorney, New York
“This excellent and accessible description of how the brain works will provide the conscientious mediator with a powerful key to unlock some of those bedeviling mysteries of human behavior.”
Jonathan HymanProfessor of Law and Arthur C. Clapp Public Service Scholar, Rutgers School of Law, Newark
“This is unique and highly practical material that stimulates thinking about how to move through conflict in ways that break down barriers that lead to impasse. I will be spending lots of time with the materials and ideas taken away from the program to apply directly to my practice. Very high impact in terms of improvement of practice skills.”
Peter BennerMediator & Arbitrator, New York
“Messrs. Lack and Bogacz are developing a critically important tool for mediators to understand and use so that the best result in any mediation is not a resolution that the parties can live with but truly a result that is better and more complete than a result they would otherwise obtain in a litigation or other negotiation process”.
Helise HarringtonPartner, Professional Coach & Diversity Consultant, New York
“I am very grateful for the new strategies I can try as a mediator; it always helps to have more tools in my toolbox, and these make a lot of sense.”

Karen AkinciLawyer & Mediator, Akinci Law, London & Istanbul
“A fascinating insight into the science behind how our brains work and why we behave the way we do in mediation and negotiation. Simply understanding how and why we are behaving in a particular way means we become more self aware and therefore more effective in the negotiation room. A really valuable course.”
