Carl Hobert Speaker and Booking Agent Information

Carl Hobert is a clinical instructor in the Boston University School of Education as well as the founder and executive director of the Axis of Hope Center for International Conflict Management and Prevention. This Boston-based nonprofit organization offers conflict-resolution simulation workshops for public and private school students, educators, parents and for non-profit and for-profit executives around the world.

Hobert draws on his over thirty years of teaching foreign language courses, developing global issues curricula and leading conflict-resolution workshops to offer classroom and boardroom-tested approaches to improve youth’s and adults’ Global IQ (GIQ). He focuses on five main areas in which GIQ can be integrated into academic curricula and corporate practices: learning foreign languages, including Mandarin, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Punjabi, Hindi and other “critical languages”, beginning in earlier grades and continuing – or starting - well-beyond college graduation; using technology more effectively, in the classroom and in corporate America, to cross borders fluidly and seamlessly; engaging students and adults in innovative “Intellectual Outward Bound” conflict-resolution simulation exercises in the classroom and in the boardroom, in English and in foreign languages; expanding international exchange programs; and weaving local, regional, national and international service learning programs into the fabric of schools and universities, and in the non-profit and for-profit sectors, as well.
