Catherine Cooley is a communication coach, trainer, conflict mediator, facilitator, speaker, founder of Peaceabl, and a Certified Trainer through the Center for Nonviolent Communication. She gives business teams and leaders who dread their workplace a reliable way to resolve differences, restore trust and build an empathic culture. Her programs are based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a model used by organizations worldwide for elevating Emotional Intelligence, conflict resolution, team building, values alignment, and productive, psychologically safe cultures. As a facilitator for the Alternative to Violence Project in a federal prison, she supported inmates in recognizing the importance of their feelings and their ability to express them. She co-created trust and psychological safety that allowed them to share meaningful experiences with inmates they normally would not ever interact with. They developed their capacities for active listening, empathy, nonviolent communication, collaborative problem solving, authentic self-expression, conflict transformation, leadership and community building. Her Active Peace Circles (APC) Restorative Justice circle process helps communities repair conflicts with a needs-based, non-punitive approach that repairs relationships and addresses systemic issues. Catherine is a member of Rotary International E-Club of World Peace, and Mediators Beyond Borders International.
