CONFLICT RESOLUTION Keynote Speaker David Allison
United We Thrive. Divided We Fail.
Discover How to Turn Conflict Into Collaboration With Shared Human Values
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 purpose.
Engagement expert, human values research pioneer, and 2x best-selling author 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.
Groundbreaking research – delivered in an unforgettably dynamic keynote originally developed for ASAE leadership audiences – shows how to use shared values to prevent conflict from breaking out, resolve divisiveness when it does, and find common ground.
David’s pre-event research will identify the specific shared values that unite any stakeholder group, regardless of where they stand on the issues of the day.
