He is an adviser to governments and top officials all over the globe.

Why Jordan? Jordan is considered one of the safest countries in the Middle East with a community known for its cultural and intellectual background and acceptance for other cultures, a perfect combination to host an international leadership institute. It is in the heart of the Middle East, but it is also located on the edges of Asia, Africa and Europe. Because its location, Jordan is a bridge between civilizations, between the desert and the sea, between the east and the west.
