Presentations listed below include in-person and virtual keynotes, as well as workshops, fireside chats, and other presentation formats.

• Servant Leadership: Building Teams That Outperform

  After nearly eight years leading Canada’s New Democratic Party and six years as an Ontario MPP, Jagmeet Singh has built his political career on a leadership philosophy rooted in the Sikh principle that true leaders serve others. Throughout his time in public office, Singh placed service above ego to create environments where collaboration thrives and teams consistently exceed expectations.

  In an era where organizations struggle with retention, engagement, and innovation, Singh’s tried and tested approach offers a powerful alternative to traditional top-down leadership. By reframing leadership as service, he demonstrates how leaders can build more resilient teams, foster psychological safety, and create cultures where people are empowered to take risks, share ideas, and grow together — ultimately driving better business outcomes.

  Key takeaways include:

  • The principles of servant leadership and how it unlocks high performance and fosters more open, collaborative organizational cultures.
  • Why ego is the greatest barrier to organizational growth and how to overcome it.
  • Practical strategies for modeling vulnerability, giving and receiving feedback, and creating psychologically safe teams.

• Canada's Path Forward: Nation Building in a Time of Change

  Canada stands at a crossroads. As we face the precipice of transformative change, Jagmeet Singh offers an optimistic vision for our nation’s future — a roadmap for economic growth that leaves no one behind. From the frontlines of national politics, where he spent nearly eight years leading a federal party and negotiating historic programs like Canada’s first dental care plan and universal pharmacare framework, Singh outlines a bold path forward that prioritizes infrastructure investment, worker-driven innovation, genuine cross-cultural partnership, and a care economy that values our collective well-being.

  Singh’s vision rests on a powerful principle: when we invest in people and communities, everyone prospers. He explores two critical streams for Canada’s future — strengthening our social fabric through shared prosperity and securing our digital future — while highlighting the roles business leaders, policymakers, and engaged citizens can take in building the Canada we need.

• Building Bridges: Leadership in Polarized Times

  In an era of deepening polarization, Jagmeet Singh built his political career on his ability to bring people together and achieve what seems impossible. Drawing on his experience negotiating a landmark agreement with the governing Liberals that delivered Canada’s first national dental care program and universal pharmacare framework, Singh shares the leadership strategies that helped him build unlikely coalitions and drive transformative change in divided times.

  At the heart of Singh’s approach is authenticity and a willingness to put aside ego to find common ground. Rooted in the same servant leadership principles that have guided his career, he demonstrates how listening deeply, building trust across divides, and focusing on people over politics creates the foundation for lasting movements, not just fleeting victories. From influencing without authority to garnering support in hostile environments, Singh offers practical strategies for leaders seeking to bridge divides and build consensus in their own organizations and communities.
