#67 Richie Norton interviews Chad Ford
about Dangerous Love: Transforming Fear and Conflict at
Home, at Work and in the World. Chad Ford is an international
conflict mediator. A college professor. A senior consultant and
facilitator for the Arbinger Institute. An executive board member
for PeacePlayers. A writer, analyst and entrepreneur covering the
NBA and NBA Draft for ESPN. Chad’s work has frequently taken him
out of the classroom and into conflict zones around the world. He’s
made nearly 50 trips to the Middle East and has worked on numerous
other conflicts around the world as both a mediator and a
facilitator. Chad has served as a senior consultant, speaker and
facilitator for the Arbinger Institute since 2006 — working with
governments, NGOs and corporations like Nike and the US Olympic
team.
He’s also helped Arbinger develop trainings and curriculum on
conflict resolution as well as a training guide on reconciliation
based on the documentary Beyond Right and Wrong. He’s been able to
combine his expertise on both sports and conflict by serving as an
executive board member of the non-profit peacebuilding organization
PeacePlayers. His work has included designing the peacebuilding
curriculum used by PeacePlayers in the Middle East, training
thousands of coaches, staff and participants in workshops and most
recently, guiding PeacePlayers through the process of creating the
Friendship Games and PeacePlayers Leadership Academy that will
bring together participants from conflict areas around the
world.
The book Dangerous Love weaves Chad’s experiences
from those five lives into a deeply personal exploration of how we
transform fear and conflict. Chad’s work with young people in the
classroom, athletes on the basketball court, struggling families in
the living room, executives in the boardroom, and divided
communities in some of the most challenging conflicts in the world
gives him a unique perspective and voice to the conflicts that
plague our families, our organizations and the world.
