Keynote Speaker — Ian Percy
Ian Percy challenges how people think. A positive “disrupter” of old mindsets, he enables people to change their results by changing how they think. “All that will ever be possible,” he says, “is already possible.” Realizing those possibilities depends on how people think, and how the limitless resources of an organization are aligned toward a peak purpose. An organizational psychologist, Ian is also a business speaker renowned for his remarkable ability to blend deep insight with uplifting inspiration — all wrapped in home-spun humour. His ability to engage an audience has led to the rare honour of induction into both U.S. and Canadian Speaker Halls of Fame. Successful Meetings Magazine named him “One of the top 21 speakers for the 21st century.”
A respected author of six books, Ian’s writing includes the breakthrough book on leadership, Going Deep, The 11 Commandments for an Enthusiastic Team and The Profitable Power of Purpose. He writes a regular column on performance improvement for Human Capital Magazine, and is a frequent contributor to the online publication RetailWire. Additionally, his insights into leadership and teamwork have been sought by many national and international organizations in the insurance, finance, health care, agricultural, manufacturing, and technology sectors, including Microsoft, Royal Bank Group, Cargill, Manulife Financial, Exxon Mobil, Aramark, Transamerica, Nortel, US Bank, Sanofi Aventis, and KPMG.
Ian’s unique ability to help people believe in their full potential, challenge themselves, and stimulate courageous innovation brings significant competitive advantage to organizations around the world. His formula is: Purpose + Passion + Performance = Profitability.
