Center for Mindfulness and Justice
Keynote Speeches
Cheri Maples delivers keynote speeches and workshops – and presentations in plenary sessions – on a variety of topics. One area of expertise is the criminal justice field, speaking to groups that include police officers, Corrections, judges, district attorneys and victim advocates. Her topics range from problem-oriented-policing, diversity/unconscious bias, ethics, increasing organizational effectiveness, workplace culture, health and wellness, and the benefits of mindfulness.
She has a particular passion for social justice issues, and is a featured speaker at various events concerned with peace and justice. An avid community builder, Cheri also brings great enthusiasm and expertise to the topic of the Timebank movement (For every hour you spend doing something for someone in your community, you earn one Time Dollar. Then you have a Time Dollar to spend on having someone do something for you).
Snapshot
“Having hosted scores of conferences, I know how hard it is to find a keynote speaker who combines observation, insight and storytelling as memorably as Cheri Maples. What distinguishes her presentations from sheer entertainment or academic lectures is a lifetime of cross-disciplinary experience that both encompasses and transcends the personal, professional and spiritual. At conferences on topics as diverse as mediation, developmental disabilities, workplace culture and time banking, she offered both thoughtful challenges and reflections that left audiences meaningfully engaged in much deeper issues than they might have anticipated.”
Cheri's speaking appearances have included the following conferences: Marquette University - Peace & Justice Association Conference on the Power of Non-Violence; Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence; International Timebank; Mediation Conference for Attorneys, Voices Beyond Bars, Corrections; International Police Ethics; Problem-Oriented Policing Conferences, and many more.
