Executives handling billion-dollar crises, couples exhausted by the same fights, and families torn by succession conflicts all learned the same technique that changed prison environments.

"Doug Noll is one of the most powerful speakers and teachers I have ever seen. He has taken complex ideas from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, distilled the essence of what is important to us for de-escalating strong emotions in conflicts, and presented his ideas in an entertaining, easy-to-follow, and engaging manner."

Robert Creo

Mediator

"It’s been a long time since I've had as much interest, passion and desire to learn. Lost count of the number of epiphanies I experienced in the class. Thank you."

"Ignore the words, listen only for the emotions’. Why have I not realized this before, in all my 56 years!? You truly are having a positive impact and making ripples, literally, around the world. Add to that the framework for stacking the affect layers and their order of presentation. Wow!"

Wayne Maqueen

"It was a great pleasure participating in your workshop at the New York Peace Institute last weekend. Many thanks for the insights.  It made a great contribution to my understanding of the phenomenon of "disappearing" emotionalism."

Allen J. Zerkin, JD

Professor

"After living my whole life believing the lie that other people are responsible for meeting my emotional needs (due to a hard upbringing), I am finally free. You are a genius and I am so grateful to have found your method."
