Patrick StruebiUnlocking Human Potential

Companies, classrooms, books, partnerships, and communities have simply become different ways of expressing that mission.

Over the past two decades, that journey has taken me from founding Fairtrasa — one of the world’s pioneering Fairtrade social enterprises — to teaching at Yale and Fordham, walking the Camino de Santiago, writing Unlock the Changemaker in You, and collaborating with entrepreneurs, universities, governments, and global organizations around the world.

Along the way, I have learned that meaningful change rarely begins with extraordinary people.

It begins when ordinary people discover there is more in them than they realized — and choose to act.

That simple belief continues to guide everything I do.
