IACP Happenings

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is passing so quickly.  In the Southern Hemisphere, winter is upon you.  Wherever you are, I hope that you have registered for the Forum, this year in Toronto.  The program includes 4 informative and engaging Pre-Forum Institutes and 33 workshops of varying topics to build learning and skills.  And, don’t forget the networking and partying.  This year registration is easier with 1 ticket for all but the PFI’s and the schedule accommodates quick return to home and work or a chance to enjoy the beautiful city of Toronto by extending your stay.  If you have not registered yet—do not wait as early bird rates expire on August 4th.  Also, take advantage of the remaining sponsorship opportunities to support our community and promote your practice, your practice group or your business.

For those of you wanting learning in the comforts of home, please join us for our August/September seminar, Bargaining in the Shadow of the Heart: Integrating Emotional and Intellectual Intelligence in Collaborative Practice and our August webinars, IACP Standards & Ethics Webinar: Beyond Ethics: Minimum Standards for Collaborative Professional and Collaborative Practice for Wills, Trusts and Estates.  More information on all of these below.

I want to thank all members for their enthusiasm and participation in our programming.  I also hope you are utilizing our member resources on the website.  Our wonderful staff—Shannon Grossi, Dolores Puppione and Jasmine Polk are working hard on your behalf and with our amazing Board, we continue to provide an excellent level of service and resources.  I am honored to be working with them all.

Change the Future.  Collaborate.  That is the theme of this year’s Forum.  How are you changing the future?  For your clients?  For families?  For yourselves?  Please share with us what is happening with you and in your part of the world.  IACP and you.  The Future.

IACP is pleased to present 2023 Seminar Series: Bargaining in the Shadow of the Heart: Integrating Emotional and Intellectual Intelligence in Collaborative Practice, presented by Stephen H. Sulmeyer, J.D., Ph.D.

We all know that the disputes we are called upon to resolve have a lot to do with emotions and psychology. And yet most of us receive inadequate training on how to work with these dimensions, and even less on how to integrate the emotional and psychological dimensions with the legal and financial aspects.

This seminar focuses on these more neglected elements: how to work effectively and skillfully with emotions and psychological issues, and how to integrate that work with the legal and financial questions that our clients must resolve. Course format will be a combination of lecture, discussion, roleplays, and experiential exercises.

Learning Objectives for this Seminar are as follows:

• Listen skillfully on multiple levels to the parties in order to connect deeply with them, develop rapport, build trust, and ascertain their deepest goals, hopes and concerns.
• Inquire into and work with the parties’ non-material interests and core needs as well as their legal and financial concerns.
• Structure collaborative processes so that they are informed by the parties’ values and aspirations around how they want to negotiate, the kind of relationship they would like to have with each other going forward, and positive outcomes they want for their children.
• Integrate the parties’ material and non-material interests in terms of both process and substantive agreements.

Dates & times:  

• August 25, September 1, 8, 15, 2023: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT (check your local time here)

Pricing:

• IACP members: US $500
• Non-IACP members: US $550
