WORKPLACE CULTURE KEYNOTE SPEAKER DAVID ALLISON
The Blueprint for
Belonging
Discover how to create a culture of belonging from the world’s leading expert on human values.
Workplace Culture Keynote
As a gay man and an Indigenous Canadian, I know the limits of demographics when it comes to inclusion and belonging. Just like everyone else, you can’t engage, motivate or inspire me simply by speaking to my demographic labels. That’s nothing more than stereotyping, and it doesn’t work. You need to understand my values — the things that make me who I am deep inside my heart.
So where does that leave organizations who want to cultivate a culture of belonging?
As a human values expert, workplace culture keynote speaker and 2x best-selling author, I’ve conducted nearly a million surveys on human values in 152 languages featuring hundreds of millions of data points.
Along the way, I’ve identified 912 types of belonging, and this keynote pinpoints which ones – in your situation – will move the needle most. And that’s not where it ends. Together we will dive deeper and explore the other values that will unite the people you want to engage, regardless of their demographic differences. Our values bring us together. Our values make us feel like we belong.
In my keynotes I share our proven, data-driven method for building a culture of belonging – for the people you want to engage – by honoring what they value.
These are the insights you need to drive inclusion and create real cultural change.
Values are the answer, so let’s put them to work!
