Over the next two decades, Jackson became the accidental leader of a global movement with a network of six million people across 85 countries. His efforts led to the creation of the largest land protection measure in North American history, with the last intact habitat of the spirit bear being set aside from development.</p><p>Through sharing his personal story, Jackson inspires audiences to realize the “power of one” — how it only takes one person to make a difference and bring real change. He shares lessons learned from his leadership journey to show audiences how they can empower themselves and those around them to create a better world.</p>
