We Help You Transform
Conflict Into Connection
At Mindful Dialogues, we believe that the quietest whisper delivered in anger can cause more damage to an important relationship than the loudest scream.
Our Mission
We equip individuals and organizations with the tools they need to start and sustain conversations that matter; participate in difficult conversations with ease and intentionality; and seek and restore balance by engaging the transformative power of peaceful communication.

Core Values
At the heart of Mindful Dialogues are the values that guide every interaction, shaped by decades of hands-on leadership and a rigorous foundation in conflict resolution. These principles reflect our belief that even the hardest conversations can lead to meaningful change when approached with skill, care, and clarity.
Compassion
We know this stuff is hard. The good news is, we can do hard things.
Courage
It’s not easy to have tough conversations well. Helping our clients build the confidence necessary to interact gently and with compassion is what we do.
Empathy
No perspective or position in a conflict is all right or all wrong. Seeking to understand each other’s perspective is key to finding the pebbles that make up common ground.
Enlightenment
Conflict doesn’t appear out of thin air. To process it and resolve it, you must first understand where it comes from. We’re expert guides.
Expertise
We help individuals and groups get out of their own way, figure out which way to go next, and learn how to get there together.
Integrity
Facilitating hard conversations without taking sides takes real know-how. We have it in spades.
Transformation
A life without conflict is a pipe dream. A life in which conflict gets processed and resolved is within reach, if you have the right tools.
