Conflict Resolution Keynote
Divisiveness impacts workplaces, communities, associations and industries. People struggle to collaborate, leaving everyone feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to move forward. It creates toxic environments and stalls growth.
But now there’s a way to transform division into connection and collaboration.
Human values research pioneer David Allison has dedicated his career to studying the shared values that unite people across demographic and ideological divides.
By conducting 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.
David’s pre-event research will identify the shared values that unite any group of people, regardless of where they stand on the issues of the day.
Delivered in an unforgettably dynamic keynote – developed for ASAE – David shows you how to use specific values to prevent conflict from breaking out, resolve divisiveness when it does, and find common ground.
