Carl Hobert, a leading voice on global education equity, human rights and social justice, reveals how to harness creativity, passion, teamwork, and determination to make the world a better place.

A graduate of Middlebury College and the Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy who is fluent in French and Spanish, Hobert stimulates his audiences to imagine a more secure and humane world, where equal access to water, food, K-12 education, the prevention of armed conflict – what he calls “the cancer of conflict” - and other basic human rights are the norm. With convincing examples he has experienced living on 5 continents working with youth and adults, the author of Raising Global IQ: Preparing our Students for a Shrinking Planet lays out a compelling vision for how anyone has the power to make significant change in our world, with innovation, passion, and teamwork.

Hobert’s assertive presence on stage conveys a palpable optimism that leaves listeners uplifted and prepared to confront difficult issues at once. With insightful perspective and inspiring stories of failure and success, Hobert inspires you to join him on his campaign to develop the innovative solutions we need for a better tomorrow.
