✨ Mark your calendars for an awe-inspiring episode of the Julio Verissimo Live Show, where we welcome Doug Noll—a true testament to resilience, compassion, and the art of emotional transformation..
🔥 Who Is Doug Noll?
Doug Noll’s life story is nothing short of remarkable. Born partially deaf, nearly blind, and physically limited, Doug’s early years were filled with obstacles. Yet, he overcame these challenges with an unyielding spirit, blazing a trail that would redefine what it means to turn adversity into opportunity.
After graduating from Dartmouth College and earning a law degree, Doug embarked on a distinguished career as a civil trial lawyer. For 22 years, he built a reputation as a fierce litigator, tackling some of the toughest cases in the courtroom. However, Doug realized that litigation often deepened human conflict rather than resolving it. This realization ignited a passion for understanding and mitigating the root causes of human discord.
In 2000, Doug took a leap of faith, leaving his lucrative law practice behind to embrace his true calling: becoming a peacemaker. Since then, Doug has dedicated his life to teaching others how to manage conflict, master emotions, and build bridges of understanding.
📖 Author, Teacher, and Thought Leader
Doug’s work has earned him international recognition. He is the award-winning author of four transformative books, including the groundbreaking De-Escalate. Published in 2017 and now available in multiple languages, the book provides practical techniques to calm an angry person in 90 seconds or less. It’s a game-changer for anyone seeking to navigate emotionally charged situations with grace and confidence.
Doug’s thought leadership extends beyond writing. As a speaker, teacher, and trainer, he has influenced thousands of lives through his workshops, lectures, and one-on-one coaching.

💡 Innovating Peacemaking in Prisons
Doug is the co-founder of Prison of Peace, a groundbreaking initiative that has transformed the lives of incarcerated individuals. Over the past 12 years, Doug and his team have taught murderers and other inmates in maximum-security prisons how to become mediators and peacemakers. The program has not only reduced violence within prisons but also equipped participants with tools to rebuild their lives. Doug’s work demonstrates the profound potential for change, even in the most challenging circumstances.
