Bio
Full Bio
With much in the intercultural landscape shifting over the past decade and society feeling fragmented, he sees a vital need for people to come together as a global community to find collective solutions to the systemic problems we all face. By spreading hope and educating with optimism, Mr. Blair creates a network for change that informs and inspires people to participate in fact-based, rather than emotionally-fueled, dialogue.
“We must learn again the politics of building bridges, of reaching out to those with whom we disagree,” he says.
Through his nonprofit organization, the Institute for Global Change, Mr. Blair works to ensure the impacts of globalization benefit everyone – not just the few at the top. He and his team support fragile and emerging governments to deliver effectively for their people. They work to implement peace in the Middle East by increasing regional understanding, and seizing opportunities to work together toward shared aims of increased security and cooperation. They also tackle extremist ideologies in areas where leadership vacuums thrive on broken trust between states and citizens.
His efforts on the geopolitical battlefront do not end there. Mr. Blair advocates more broadly for a radical transformation in policy, where leaders can become the agents of change – not managers of the status quo.
Globalization presents some significant hurdles, however, like learning how to co-exist and equipping leaders to make the best possible choices when posed with arduous challenges.
Mr. Blair confronts this by working to revitalize the center ground of politics – encouraging reason-based thinking to steer people away from polarizing and negative ideologies. By building bridges between battling ideals and reaching across the political divide, he seeks to build common ground on which to base the bedrock of a better, more interconnected world.
Electrifying the room with the magnetic presence and charming persona of a seasoned statesman, Mr. Blair redefines what it means to be a global leader.
He commands attention with his honest and relatable assessment of the current state of global affairs, bolstering his viewpoints with hard and fast facts and providing words of encouragement in the form of practical solutions.
Mr. Blair’s authenticity and smart humor juxtapose tough topics – putting audiences at ease, and driving deep conversation that propels change long after the event.
