Ottawa, ON (May 18, 2010) – CanMediate International Inc. is introducing a new one-day course for professionals called "Understanding Mediation as a Tool and a Career™". The Country Inn & Suites in Kanata, Ontario will be host to this event on Friday, June 4th, 2010.

Conflict permeates our lives. On the job, changing expectations and limited resources can cause stress and conflict. Mediation is a powerful tool that allows both managers and employees to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

The field of mediation is attracting many individuals from different backgrounds looking for a second career option- teachers, social workers, managers and lawyers, to name a few. The common bond is a passion for enhancing their skills to make a difference in companies and the general public. This interactive course explores the dynamics of mediation from both the participant and mediator's perspective. Learn the basics of mediation for an existing job, or explore mediation as a second career option.

The Understanding Mediation course draws upon the extensive experience of Ruth Sirman, professional mediator and President of CanMediate International Inc. Ms. Sirman has taught courses on mediation through the Power To Resolve™ Program and published several articles such as, "Immunize Your Organization Against Super Conflicts", "Creating Workplaces That WORK", and "Workplace Conflict". Ms. Sirman said "We are committed to providing innovative approaches to help professionals resolve conflict and improve relationships in the workplace. Mediation can also provide a second career option or path for individuals who want to make a change."
