The Goodfield Foundation is a non-profit organization and NGO registered in The Hague, committed to providing access to the benefits of the Goodfield Method™. For more than three decades, Dr. Barry Austin Goodfield, founder of the Goodfield Institute and CEO of the Goodfield Foundation, has been conducting seminars on communication and conflict management on five continents. His unique methods of analyzing verbal and nonverbal behavior have formed the cornerstone of the Foundation's work.

The Goodfield Foundation is anchored in simple truths: Where communication succeeds, conflict recedes, and when opposing parties face one another, communication is possible. The challenge is to help those parties communicate - to express their positions clearly and to listen effectively to others - so that they can ease crises and resolve conflicts.

More than an organization that merely believes in promoting peace in a world of conflict, the Goodfield Foundation utilizes the latest scientific methods in psychology, communication, mediation, and negotiation to make effective communication possible.

Program costs are paid in whole or in part by sponsoring governments, companies, or other institutions.
