Ep. 80: Doug Noll, Lawyer-Turned-Peacemaker

Today on Be The Good with Kate: A lawyer who left the paycheck and title in his late forties to go back to school and change his whole life. Doug Noll is a mediator and peacemaker who created Prison of Peace, a worldwide program training lifers and long termers to be peacemakers and mediators to stop prison violence. I was fascinated by Doug's story and wise words. You'll want to pull out a notepad by the end of this episode to jot down some quotes!  Prison of Peace began in the largest, most violent women's prison in the world, teaching inmates how to deesclate conflict and become peacemakers. The success of the program led it to grow exponentially from there-- both within that prison and to others across the globe. As a result of Prison of Peace's efforts at just that first prison, they received a notification that it is no longer listed as a 'violent prison'.  Takeaways  -One must be vulnerable to be powerful   -Never too late to discover your purpose  -Listen to the inner voices   -Be open to change   -Adapt to the circumstances   -Start small    -Listen, learn So much packed into this short episode. As Doug shares, "I wake up every day happy."  And I hope that for each of you as we all continue to seek and follow our passions.   Follow Doug: LinkedIn/FB: Doug Noll Insta: @douglasenoll If you enjoyed this episode, you'll also like listening to ep. 42: Aaron Smith, from Prison to Escaping the Odds Mentioned in episode: bebykate.com/The101Series ~~Join me each Friday, as I ask an individual five questions about the good they are doing in the world via following their passions.
