Welcome!

This site provides a brief summary of my work as an instructor, speaker, consultant, and writer. Please click on the links to the left for details.

I have a Ph.D. in Criminology. My formal education is supplemented by certifications, international travel, and practical experience. One valuable experience was backpacking around the world for a year. I believe in CANI ~ constant and never-ending improvement. Each day offers opportunities for learning, growing, and contributing.

My passion is Peacemaking Circles and Restorative Action. I founded and am president of Peace of the Circle Transformational Services, an international consultancy company. My goal is to inspire and empower leaders to transform conflict and build healthy, productive relationships. I work with businesses, government agencies, organizations, and communities.

Transforming Conflict & Building Relationships

I love facilitating people’s learning and have over fifteen years of experience. I offer dynamic workshops and training. At the core of what I do is Circles - one of the most powerful ways to have authentic conversations. I also utilize a variety of tools and techniques to fully meet the needs of clients, for example Appreciative Inquiry, World Café, Non-Violent Communication, and Problem-Based Learning.

I have a collaborative partnership with Tomato Inc (www.tomato.ch), a Risk and Cash Management Company in Switzerland. I offer workshops in Zurich for CEOs, CFOs, and other interested parties across Europe.

I also enjoy public speaking and have a prolific record of presenting at regional, national, and international forums. For example, I was an invited speaker at the 10th United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders in Vienna in 2000.

Thank you for your interest in my work. Please feel free to contact me. I offer facilitation, workshops, speaking engagements, and private consulting. For example:

• Introduction to Restorative Justice
• Circle Training
• Restorative Practices for Businesses and Organizations

I tailor my services to your specific interests and needs. I consider myself a bridge between your current situation and what is possible.

“There are really only two kinds of conflict: conflicts with people who will step forward and work to resolve the issue, and conflicts with people who escalates the issue. The actual issue is far less significant than our attitude toward problem solving.”

Remember to enjoy those magic moments that each day offers.

Yours Truly,
Evelyn
