"Your session at the recent NAIS National Conference was a tremendous and inspiring experience! I returned very much affected and convinced we needed to bring your workshop to The Langley School. As a result of our discussions, we would very much like to pursue this course. Our thoughts are that our current 7th Grade, a class of 45 students, would greatly benefit. We would like to link the experience and the ways we end this year with their fall trip to Costa Rica with Global Youth Leadership Institute. I have learned that Carl Hobert is on their board and appreciate the connection. Mr. Hobert was a master teacher and insightful facilitator in my NAIS session, and we would very much like to bring the work of Axis of Hope to The Langley School."

"I was so impressed by your workshop I'll be stepping up my promotion of Axis of Hope by incorporating a screen shot of your website and running your overview clip on the program when I do the longer version of "Leading from the Middle" at workshops throughout the country and the world.
Best wishes for continued success. Cheers."
Patrick F. Bassett, President of the National Association of Independent Schools

"Yesterday was refreshing for me. Growing up in Europe, after the second world war, I thought that such atrocities could never happen again. Then, the year Marine was born, the conflict in "Yugoslavia" started. We used to drive there for vacation. Realizing that these atrocities where happening and nobody could stop it really worried me. A few years later it was the genocide in Rwanda...and I became pessimistic. I am glad to see that there is, may be, a solution and that the boys were exposed to it."

"I was very pleased with the entire day. I was surprised by the level of student engagement. I was also surprised by the way the students committed to their roles. The thing that impressed me the most about the day (the "magic," if you will) was the pivot from the familiar, competitive, debate-driven personas that frequently animate our boys to the collaborative process that drew up a compromise that was informed, sophisticated, and fair. It was a great day."
