“You can’t be a Global Citizen, if you don’t know your local roots.” -Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum

I attended  breakfast this morning with Dr. Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, along with several of my colleagues from the Word Economic Forum Global Shapers. While Dr. Schwab chatted about the blueprint for change, activism, and innovation, he reminded us that as we go forth into the world, we’re more impactful if we know who we are, if we honor our roots, if we are connected with where we come from, and most importantly, that  we are needed in our own backyards just as much as we are needed across continents and borders. There is change happening and needed at every corner.
