SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Conflict\, Culture and Democracy\, July 19 - October 4
DESCRIPTION:This is the eighth DemoSapiens webinar series that is co-sponsored by Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI) and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere (Stanford University). It is led by Ashok Panikkar of MetaCulture. \nIt is a 12-part Conflict\, Culture & Democracy Course. It will be held weekly on Mondays at 6:00 PM ET (-4 UTC). Each session will be 90 minutes long. The first session is scheduled for Monday\, July 19\, 2021\, at 10:00 AM EST and the twelfth session is scheduled for Monday\, October 4\, 2021.  \nThis course is designed to help participants place the current global crisis of democracy within the larger (and complex) context. Navigating this unprecedented political\, ecological\, economic\, and cultural crisis will depend upon our capacity to understand: (a) How we got here. (b) The interlocking forces that are in play today (c) What history can teach us about human successes and limitations in addressing complex problems. \nEach session will seek to develop a discourse around democracy\, politics\, and culture that can be well-informed\, thoughtful\, and mature- rather than reactive\, angry\, wistful\, or riddled with assumptions. \nPlease note that the pricing for the Demo Sapiens Webinar Series is different than MBBI’s monthly webinars. Participants are paying for a 12-part series co-sponsored by MBBI\, Meta-Culture\, and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere. \nRegister here for the Webinar Series starting on Monday\, July 19\, 2021\, at 10:00 AM ET

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: The Nexus between Leadership and Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:Engage in the PeaceConnect session “Connecting the Dots: The Nexus between Leadership and Negotiation”. This 90-minute conversation event will be on Tuesday\, September 14th\, 2021 at 12 pm EDT (-4 UTC). Please use the Time Zone Converter to determine when this engaging conversation will be in your time zone. \nRegister here! \nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Joshua N. Weiss\n \nDr. Joshua N. Weiss is the co-founder\, with William Ury\, of the Global Negotiation Initiative at Harvard University and a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Negotiation Project.  He is also the Director and creator of the Master of Science degree in Leadership and Negotiation at Bay Path University. He received his Ph.D. from the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University in 2002.  \nDr. Weiss has spoken and published on leadership\, negotiation\, mediation\, and systemic approaches to dealing with conflict.  In his current capacity\, he conducts research\, consults with many different types of organizations\, delivers negotiation and mediation trainings and courses\, and engages in negotiation and mediation at the organizational\, corporate\, government\, and international levels. \nDr. Weiss’ newest book\, published by Wiley Press in August of 2020\, is entitled The Book of Real-World Negotiations: Successful Strategies from Business\, Government\, and Daily Life.  The book shines a light on real-world negotiation examples and cases\, rather than discussing hypothetical scenarios. It reveals what is possible through preparation\, persistence\, creativity\, and taking a strategic approach to your negotiations. \nDr. Weiss is also the co-author of a storybook trilogy for children ages of 6 to 10 to learn negotiation and conflict resolution skills.  The books are part of the Emo and Chickie series.  The first book is entitled Trouble at the Watering Hole:  The Adventures of Emo and Chickie and seeks to teach children creative problem-solving.  The second book\, Bullied No More! The Continuing Adventures of Emo and Chickie\, addresses the problem of bullying.  The third and final book\, Phony Friends\, Besties Again: The Continuing Adventures of Emo and Chickie\, focuses on a social media conflict and how best to address it.   \nDr. Weiss is the creator of a number of innovative products that use the power of technology to convey negotiation and conflict resolution knowledge and skills to a broad audience.  In addition to teaching numerous synchronous and asynchronous courses and trainings over the web he has developed two products of note.  The first is the Negotiation Tip of the Week (NTOW) podcast.  The second is the Negotiator In You Audiobook and eBook series.  The NTOW was in the top 100 iTunes Business Podcasts from 2007 to 2010 and has been downloaded over 2 million times.  The Negotiator In You series was published in January 2012 and was in the iTunes top audiobook category for two months.   \nDr. Weiss has conducted trainings and consulted with a number of organizations\, companies\, and governmental entities\, including: Microsoft\, General Motors\, United Auto Workers\, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing\, Christies Art Auction House\, CDM Smith\, Deloitte\, Genzyme\, Harvard University\, Mass Mutual\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Yale Medical School\, the United Nations (Mediation Unit\, UNAOC\, UNITAR\, and UNDP)\, Government of Canada\, the US Government (State Department\, Federal Emergency Management Agency\, National Park Service\, and Transportation Security Administration)\, and various state governments.  \nLastly\, Dr. Weiss delivered a Ted Talk in 2018 entitled “The Wired Negotiator” about the role of technology in negotiation and how to use it most effectively.
