Heath Slawner Biography

Heath Slawner is a passionate speaker whose gift lies in connecting with people and their ideas. He captivates audiences around the world and is especially at ease with audiences from finance, life sciences, consumer goods, real estate, and technology backgrounds–to name just a few. In his work at the intersection of leadership, influence, and trust, Slawner uses vivid storytelling to share insights and perspectives that help others take their performance to the next level.

Ever optimistic, Slawner believes that trust and purpose are at the center of it all. When we’re clear about why we’re here, where we’re going, how we’re getting there, and whom we serve, people start to feel valued and fulfilled. When we achieve this clarity, we are able to do our best work and bring bold visions to reality. Slawner has worked alongside some of the world’s leading thinkers. Starting in 2006, Slawner was the only professional in Canada certified to deliver and facilitate the Principles of Persuasion workshop and keynote, an evidence-based program based on the research of renowned author Dr. Robert Cialdini.

Following his work with the Principles of Persuasion, Slawner spent several years collaborating with the team at The Trusted Advisor LLC., where he facilitated programs centered around building and strengthening trust-based relationships.

Driven by the belief that people thrive when they are united by a shared sense of purpose, Slawner joined the Start With Why team at Simon Simonek's Optimism Company in 2015. He continues to work with clients in order to drive change, enhance leadership, and strengthen workplace culture. Since joining the team, he has delivered over 150 live and virtual keynote presentations on behalf of Simon Sinek Inc.

Slawner received his degree from the Wharton School of Business. He currently lives in Montreal, Canada.

Trusted Relationships, Remarkable Results: How the Best Teams Pull Together

Today’s workplaces can be full of cynicism and self-interest. With change and disruption as constants, it’s easy to forget that trust-based relationships are the foundation for achievement.

Through stories, research and basic science, Heath Slawner explains the three major shifts that will help build a culture of trust and create ideal conditions for teams to be successful. When your people work together to confront external threats, they’ll get more done, with less stress, and actually have fun doing it.

Heath reveals the secrets to rallying your team around a clearly-articulated purpose – because when you’re clear about who you serve, where you’re going, and how you’re getting there, the natural response is to trust, collaborate and bring bold visions to reality.

Interact with Influence: Skills, Tips & Behaviors that Build Trust, Gain Commitment and Inspire Change

Our ability to influence wisely and effectively – to get people to listen, to trust, and act on what we say – is arguably the most important skill for reaching our greatest potential. Though we face these challenging interpersonal situations every single day, rarely do we have the opportunity to sharpen these skills and see the difference between what works and what doesn’t.

In this fast-paced presentation, Heath Slawner illustrates the most effective, scientifically-proven ways to influence and impact the people around you and your team. Like all of Heath's talks, Interact with Influence is evidence-based and highly customized for each audience.

Start With Why: Foster a Purpose-Driven Culture and Inspire Everyone to Action

Imagine a world in which your people wake up inspired to go to work, feel valued while they're there, and return home fulfilled by the work they do. To bring that world into reality, you must start with a simple question: WHY?

In today’s most successful organizations, leaders tap into the power of purpose by articulating a vision of the future and creating trust-based environments in which people naturally work together to achieve extraordinary things. Through stories, studies and science, Heath Slawner shows audiences that the WHY is at the centre of it all – and the key to success and fulfillment on both an individual and organizational level.

** Heath is an official IGNITER with Simon Sinek's team, living his own WHY by delivering keynotes and programs based on Simon's best-selling works.

The Trusted Advisor: How to Think, Act and Communicate like the World's Most Trusted Advisors

When people think, act, and communicate as a Trusted Advisor, they dramatically increase productivity, improve business results, and reduce stress. Whether working internally as a business partner, or externally with customers, clients and stakeholders, the impact is the same: greater capacity, more satisfaction, and less friction. Simply put, high-trust individuals and teams outperform low-trust organizations in every key business metric: profitability, revenue growth, employee engagement, customer service, retention, and more.

In this program, Heath Slawner teaches the key skills and mindset that will usher you and your team into the vital (and valuable) role of Trusted Advisors.
