He has also seen the amazing power and testimony that comes when reconciliation happens through biblical peacemaking. As a national trainer and mediator for PeaceWise, Wayne brings a wealth of experience to helping others respond to conflict differently and experience why Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Wayne is married to Amy. They have three children. When not with PeaceWise, you will likely, find him cycling or training for an upcoming triathlon.
Second Trainer - to be advised
Description
In this training you will learn skills and process to help two or more people reconcile and address issues between them that they have not been able to resolve on their own.
This training leverages all the earlier skills you have learned through our personal peacemaking and conflict coaching courses, as you learn to help parties address both relational and material issues through a distinctively Christian mediation process.
In the Everyday Mediation course you will:
- understand the foundation and distinguishing features of Christian mediation and the role a mediator plays in the process
- learn a Christian mediation framework for helping parties requiring assistance in everyday conflict
- learn how to use peacemaking principles and tools to conflict coach people in preparation for and during an everyday mediation process
- understand how to create a safe everyday mediation process using the “GOSPEL” process for people requesting mediation assistance
- build confidence to facilitate everyday mediations through multiple role play opportunities to practise the skills and principles of everyday Christian mediation
