About Us

Diane L. Katz, Ph.D., the President of The Working Circle, has worked with organizations of all kinds and sizes across the U.S. She brings insight, humor, intelligence and a passion for helping organizations and their employees function exquisitely well together. 

In business in Tucson, Arizona, since 1995, she has consulting clients nationwide and speaks at conferences across the country. With a Ph.D. in Conflict Resolution from Union Institute and a Masters in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and years of work in transforming organizations, she brings an understanding of people and what makes them work best together.

Her unique process, The Working Circle®, is an 8-step non-confrontational method of resolving conflict. It combines eastern and western methods and theories. People who use it are amazed at how much easier resolving conflict can be.

"Win at Work! The Everybody Wins Approach to Conflict Resolution", authored by Diane, will be coming out in June 2010. It is an extraordinary book on how to be a winner at work by resolving issues collaboratively, using The Working Circle.

Diane has been a speaker at conferences across the United States, speaking on organization transformation, conflict resolution, communication skills and leadership/employee issues. Her focus is working with leaders that have a vision of where they want to go, but are not sure how to get there. Clients of The Working Circle represent service companies, manufacturing, construction, technology, health care and government.
