Doug Noll is a lawyer-turned-peacemaker, award-winning author, and internationally recognized expert in conflict resolution. After a 22-year career as a successful civil trial lawyer, Doug walked away from a $10 million partnership to pursue peacemaking full-time.
He earned a master's degree in Peacemaking and Conflict Studies and went on to co-found Prison of Peace, a global initiative that trains incarcerated individuals to become mediators and violence de-escalators.
His groundbreaking method of "listening people into existence" has helped transform the lives of thousands—from maximum-security prisons to high-level government offices. Doug is the author of several books, including De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, and has been featured in hundreds of media outlets and podcasts.
When he's not teaching peace, he's skiing, playing jazz violin, or watching the sunrise with his wife in the Sierra Nevada. Doug's mission is simple: teach the world emotional competence—one conversation at a time.
