"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."

Rhonan Mokriski [Chair of History Department, member of CAIS Professional Development commission, Instructor at the CAIS NENTS (New England New teacher Symposium) and International Student Advisor]

"Prof. Hobert: I am just amazed at the time and effort that you spend just so kids like me and my friends can learn diplomatic skills which will indubitably help us in our nearing adult lives. Just because of you, I am sure that many a life is saved in the future."

HAK, Student. Horner Junior High, Fremont, CA

"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."

Pascale Delfosse (Chair of Language Department)

"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

"Dear Mr. Hobert,  A week ago, I participated in the Axis of Hope workshop at our high school. I found it to be a very enlightening and rewarding experience. To be honest, I learned more in those 5 hours than in my almost 11 years of public education."

JK, high school student

"I can't thank you enough for coming to our high school today.  You have profoundly impacted my students in such a positive way!  I am still reeling from the experience, and I know that they are, too."

NT, high school teacher

"I believe if we continue on what we are doing based on what we learned from Axis of Hope, we can absolutely "Be" the change that the world didn't expect to see from kids of this generation."

MT, high school student

"We're talking about negotiation, communication, and mediation in order to improve schools (I'm studying International Education Administration in Madrid, Spain).  A lot of what we're doing relates to what I learned and admired during my time with you recently. I would love to use the Axis of Hope framework and resources in my course design."
