Canadian Values Keynote
What does Canada really stand for? What shared values truly define us? How can people across Canada use those shared values to strengthen their bonds at home and abroad? How can they leverage this values-driven identity to compete and thrive on the world stage?
To unite as a country and “stand on guard for thee” we need to know – accurately – what our values are.

“Wow. I am hooked! Where did he learn to be such a great speaker?”

Human values expert, employee engagement keynote speaker and 2x best-selling author David Allison has dedicated his career to studying the core values that drive people to become engaged, inspired, and motivated.
By conducting nearly a million surveys in 152 languages featuring hundreds of millions of data points, David and his team have turned shared human values into hard data that’s readable, meaningful, and actionable. It’s no wonder his work is included in college textbooks worldwide and leveraged by organizations like Google, PayPal, lululemon, and the United Nations Foundation.
This keynote delivers a clear, empirical understanding of Canadian values – without which businesses risk taking action based on slogans and rhetoric instead of reality and facts.
Canada needs a tangible, data-driven identity shaped by the deeply held values of the people who live and work here. It should not be an identity based on whoever has the loudest microphone, or a particular axe to grind.
