Mediation Mastery 40-Hour Training
Elevate Your Skills. Deepen Your Impact. Build a Successful Practice.
Co-founded by Leyla Balakhane, this immersive 40-hour training program equips professionals with the skills, structure, and confidence to mediate civil and family disputes effectively.
About the Program
This dynamic training blends:
- Civil and Divorce Case Intensives
- Marketing & Practice-Building Bootcamp
- Ethics & Impasse Resolution
- Cross-Cultural Negotiation
- Interactive Role Plays
- Guest Lectures from 12 Industry Leaders
Participants complete the program with a Mediation Mastery Certificate and a strong foundation to launch or grow a professional mediation practice.
About Leyla’s Role
As Co-Founder of Mediation Mastery, Leyla Balakhane brings over fifteen years of experience in divorce and family mediation, leadership, and professional training.
She serves as:
- Board Member, Southern California Mediation Association (SCMA)
- Board Member, Academy of Professional Family Mediators (APFM)
- Recipient of the 2023 SCMA President’s Award
- Panel Member, Los Angeles County Bar Association Arbitration Panel (LACBA)
Her teaching reflects the same values she brings to her mediation work: structure, empathy, clarity, and disciplined process.
Why This Training Stands Out
- Meets DRPA requirements
- Eligible for MCLE credit (pending approval)
- Includes in-person summit experience
- Focuses on both skill mastery and business development
- Builds long-term professional community
This is more than a certification course — it is a professional transformation experience.
