Something is happening in Canada.  

Something is causing the foundation of the country to shift underneath our feet. 

Something we’ve all seen but haven’t yet recognized. 

And what exactly is that “something”? The individual is losing to the collective. An ever-expanding managerial bureaucracy of an oversized government is now directing Canadian life from cradle to grave. It regulates how you can act and what you can say in the name of “common good”.   

Is the end of Western liberal civilization, as we have known it, conceivable? And if so, how did we get here? Part of the explanation, law professor Bruce Pardy says, is what he calls “The Unholy Trinity of the Administrative State”: 

Unholy Trinity part 1. Our politicians delegate authority to government officials and bureaucrats.  

Unholy Trinity part 2. Our courts defer to the bureaucracy, to their “expertise”.  

Unholy Trinity part 3. Officials assume the discretion to decide the public good, running roughshod over individual liberties when they deem it necessary. 

During the “Covid” era, this implicit bargain made possible the most significant trampling of civil liberties in Canadian peacetime history. Government officials made up incoherent diktats on the fly. For the most part, courts said “no problem”.  

But what about Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms? As things went off the rails, people thought that the Charter would save them. But courts can decide what Charter rights mean. As long as they can support their answers with judicial rhetoric, rights can mean something a little… different every time. 

In Canada, the rule of law is fading. When it suits them, our institutions set aside their restraints. Using an idea to hold the powerful in check works only for as long as the powerful believe in the idea. And increasingly in the Canada of today, they do not. 

This state of affairs, which has evolved over many years, is now somehow the new normal in Canada. And with anti-free speech legislation pending or already on the books, liberties are skating on perilously thin Canadian ice.  

Is there a way for Canada to reform the Unholy Trinity? Maybe. In his riveting keynote presentation, Bruce Pardy describes Canada’s bureaucratic devolution, and the challenges that lie ahead. Whatever the path forward, audiences can be assured of one thing: They will question what they believed about how they are governed.

Our Constitutional Mistake

The Nanny State is a_______

In Canada, All People Are Equal, But Some Are More Equal Than Others 

In Canada, You Have Free Speech. (So long as you say the right things and think the right thoughts.)

John is a lawyer with a passion for freedom, and for defending the free society.  As head of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, he has devoted his legal career to helping individuals when their rights and freedoms are violated by government.  The fight to preserve Canada’s proud tradition of freedom makes for interesting stories, some involving controversial clients.  In the court of law, and in the court of public opinion, John makes the principled case for true tolerance: the free society allows unpopular speech and unpopular associations. He considers it a privilege to advocate for courageous and principled clients who take great risks – and make tremendous personal sacrifices – by resisting the unjust demands of intolerant government authorities.

Inspired employees are the driving force behind organizational ways of working. Engaged and enthusiastic workers add immensely not only to their output and creativity but also to the success of the organization as a whole. Yet, organizations always find it challenging to keep their engagement levels high under the pressure of multitasking through diversified tasks, working on deadlines, and adapting to an ever-changing business landscape. This is where Big Idea Speakers Bureau can use the magic of inspiration through motivational speaker who can help transform a team’s morale and productivity.

The Big Idea Speakers Bureau offers an out-of-the-box solution for those companies looking to help increase their employees’ engagement and performance. Companies can include motivational speakers who will inspire their teams with new perspectives, new ideas, and compelling stories that ring true on a personal level. Our speakers will instill new zeal and devotion in the workforce, enlightening employees to consider their contribution from a brighter perspective and work with a renewed sense of purpose.

The Science Behind Motivation

Understanding the psychological factors that influence employee motivation is crucial for fostering a productive work environment. Self-determination theory, for instance, posits that people are motivated by the need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Intrinsic motivation, driven by internal satisfaction, and extrinsic motivation, influenced by external rewards, both play significant roles in how employees perform. Motivational speakers can tap into these psychological drivers to inspire and energize teams.

The Power of Motivational Speakers in Action

Boosting Morale and Engagement:

Motivational speakers have the unique ability to inject fresh perspectives and renewed energy into a team. Their inspiring stories and messages can combat burnout and foster a positive work environment, leading to increased engagement. By sharing their personal journeys and insights, motivational speakers help employees see their roles within the company in a new light, reigniting their passion and commitment.

Enhancing Innovation and Problem-Solving:

Innovation thrives in an environment where new ideas are constantly introduced. Motivational speakers, with their diverse backgrounds and experiences, can spark creativity and critical thinking within teams. Exposure to new ideas and approaches helps employees tackle challenges with fresh perspectives, ultimately leading to more innovative solutions and improved problem-solving capabilities.

Building Stronger Teams:

Events can serve as powerful team-building exercises, fostering a sense of shared purpose and camaraderie. These events create opportunities for employees to connect on a deeper level, building trust and enhancing team dynamics. Big Idea Speakers Bureau tailors these events to target specific team goals and dynamics, ensuring a meaningful and impactful experience.

Finding the Perfect Motivational Speaker for Your Needs

Challenges of Selecting a Motivational Speaker:

Selecting the right motivational speaker can be a daunting task for event planners. Budget constraints, topic relevance, and the speaker’s ability to connect with the audience are just a few of the challenges they face.

Is Motivational Speaking a Skill?

Absolutely. Motivational speaking is a finely honed skill that requires a blend of storytelling, emotional intelligence, and the ability to connect with diverse audiences. Effective motivational speakers understand how to engage their listeners, evoke emotions, and inspire action. They utilize a range of techniques, such as powerful anecdotes, compelling visuals, and interactive elements, to keep the audience engaged and invested in the message. This skill is developed through experience, training, and a deep understanding of human psychology.

Are Motivational Speakers Effective?

Are Motivational Speakers Effective_

Yes, motivational speakers can be incredibly effective. Their impact is often measured by the positive changes in employee attitudes, behaviours, and overall team dynamics following their sessions.

Inspiring Lasting Change:

Effective motivational speakers can inspire lasting change by helping individuals and teams overcome challenges, set and achieve goals, and maintain a positive outlook. They use powerful storytelling, real-life examples, and a deep understanding of human psychology to connect with their audience on a profound level. By addressing common workplace issues such as burnout, lack of motivation, and interpersonal conflicts, motivational speakers provide practical strategies and tools that employees can use long after the session has ended.

Increased Employee Engagement:

Motivational speeches can lead to increased employee engagement, which is critical for a company’s success. Engaged employees are more likely to be productive, take initiative, and contribute to a positive work environment. When employees feel inspired and valued, they are more committed to their roles and the organization. This increased engagement can translate into higher levels of innovation, better customer service, and overall improved performance.

Higher Productivity Levels:

Another significant benefit of motivational speakers is the potential boost in productivity levels. When employees are motivated, they are more focused and driven to achieve their goals. Motivational speakers can reignite passion and enthusiasm for work, helping employees to overcome procrastination and approach their tasks with renewed energy. This can lead to more efficient work processes, reduced absenteeism, and a greater overall output.

Improved Job Satisfaction:

Improved job satisfaction is another key outcome of effective motivational speaking. Employees who feel motivated and inspired are generally happier in their roles. This satisfaction can reduce turnover rates, as employees are more likely to stay with a company that invests in their personal and professional growth. Motivational speakers help create a work environment where employees feel appreciated and supported, which is essential for long-term job satisfaction.

Resonating on a Personal Level:

The key to the effectiveness of motivational speakers lies in their ability to resonate with the audience on a personal level. By sharing their own experiences and challenges, speakers can build a connection with the audience that is both emotional and intellectual. This personal connection makes the speaker’s message more relatable and impactful. Furthermore, motivational speakers often tailor their presentations to address the specific needs and goals of the organization, ensuring that their insights are relevant and actionable.

Providing Actionable Insights:

Finally, effective motivational speakers provide actionable insights that can be implemented in the workplace. They offer practical advice and strategies that employees can apply immediately to improve their performance and well-being. Whether it’s techniques for stress management, tips for effective communication, or methods for setting and achieving goals, these insights can have a profound impact on both individual and team performance.

Motivational speakers are a valuable asset to any organization looking to boost morale, enhance productivity, and foster a positive work environment. Their ability to inspire, engage, and provide actionable insights makes them an effective tool for driving corporate success.

Conclusion

Motivational speakers play a pivotal role in driving corporate success by boosting morale, enhancing innovation, and building stronger teams. With Big Idea Speakers Bureau, companies can access a diverse range of top-tier speakers who bring fresh perspectives and renewed energy to any event. 

Investing in motivational speakers is not just about entertainment; it’s about fostering a thriving, engaged, and productive workforce.

Dr. James Thorp is a highly credentialed, double board certified specialist in maternal fetal medicine, who has become a national hero during the Covid era, for standing up and speaking the truth. Passionate and direct, he’s been on hundreds of programs, including Tucker Carlson, trying to warn America’s mothers not to take them!

He’s seen the results of what they can do to expectant mothers – and they are heart breaking. He is to this day, baffled as to why what has happened to so many women, isn’t front page news in the main stream media. 

Since he parted ways with his last employer, (because he wouldn’t sign the non-disclosure agreement in exchange for a small fortune), Jim is now working with The Wellness Company with a number of other doctors who continue the fight for freedom and truth in medicine.

However, this decision to not take the money and retire quietly speaks to the integrity of his convictions, which as you will see, are evident in his keynote presentations. He would not sell out, because had to speak out. 

On December 7th 2022 he testified in the Senate with Senator Ron Johnson and others, about what he has seen… Most recently Dr. Thorp has focused his research efforts on the covid19 pandemic and has published over 70 articles and papers, and has new book on the way, documenting the dangers of the vaccine in women of reproductive age and in pregnancy.

Dr. Thorp is a Board-Certified Obstetrician Gynecologist and Maternal Fetal Medicine Physician 44 years of obstetrical experience. While serving as a very busy clinician his entire career he has also been very active in clinical research with over 250 publications. Dr. Thorp has seen about 27,500 high risk pregnancies in the last 4.5 years. He has served as a reviewer for major medical journals and served on the Board of Directors for the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine for four years, and served as an Examiner for the American Board of ObGyn. He served in the United States Air Force as an Obstetrician Gynecologist having been awarded a Health Professions Scholarship for his medical school education. Dr. Thorp testified in the US Senate under the Bush administration in 2003 for his expertise in treating the fetus as a patient with in-utero therapies.

Dr. Peter St Onge — @ProfStOnge online — is being talked about everywhere because he is many things: A dynamic keynote speaker par excellence, Peter St. Onge a former MBA professor and PhD economist, a Fortune-500 corporate marketer in Mexico, Brazil, and Japan, a nightclub manager, and…an ex-bartender. 

His corporate experience includes some of the biggest companies in the world in both consumer goods and large-scale infrastructure manufacturing.

His topics and areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: the Economy; Scenario Planning; Future Technologies; Entrepreneurship; Marketing; Liberty and Freedom. 

He is available for Custom Briefings for executive and CEO Roundtables, looking at trends, opportunities and risks in specific industries. As Peter says “We’re at an inflection point in history, from economy to society to business. Those who see what’s coming can protect themselves. Those who don’t will wonder what just happened.” 

At this point, many of you might be asking – who is this guy with the ridiculous shirts whose videos are all over Twitter? Well – Peter St Onge has quickly become wildly popular for his common-sense and humorous explanations of major events impacting the economy, business, our individual rights and freedoms, and what that means.

So whether it’s a conference on investing and strategy, a Bitcoin conference, or a liberty festival, Professor St Onge has become an in-demand keynote speaker and a bona fide online superstar. 

In fact, Peter says he’d once been called “The most interesting Economist in the World” although with his classic wry wit, he ventures the person was probably drunk.

Peter has spoken at dozens of conferences and is a frequent guest on national TV including Charles Payne on Fox Business and Jesse Watters on Fox News. 

For those of you who follow Peter’s economic and political commentary, you know that he weaves humor and passion into his analysis, and he brings levity, clarity, and call to action to very serious topics at all his talks. Peter will always tailor his message and keynote presentation appropriately for the audience he is speaking to. 

Peter speaks near-native French, Spanish, Japanese, and Philadelphian, and is happy to deliver keynotes in those languages as well.

Dr. David Martin

Dr. David Martin’s background is as varied as they come. From finance, academia, media, consulting, medicine, to research, business creation, economics and advisory, his C.V. is as long and impressive as it is diverse, with a gravitas that is almost unparalleled and that few can replicate. In short, there is no one quite like Dr. David Martin. How many keynote speakers have on their resumes that they’ve advised governments on mining and trade policy, to now creating documentary films, podcasting, and most recently, starting up an energy company that focuses on eco friendly and sustainable solutions for the hydrocarbon industry? Not many. None in fact.  

On the surface, it would have seemed easy to know what David Martin is about – he was often on CNBC prior to 2020, since he created their CNBC IQ100 index powered by M-CAM, his company; (The IQ100 is a quantitative index of America’s top 100 Innovative companies), and he appeared regularly on the network giving business and economic commentary; so the assumption that he was “strictly business” would be a natural one. But that would be an incorrect and very incomplete assessment.

Since 2020, Dr. Martin has become well known to a far wider audience, because he asks the dangerous questions and treads where others wouldn’t dare, about what we’ve all experienced over the past few years. But it’s more than that – he shares his suspicions that something more profound has happened to America: He asks out loud if the social contract with the people has been breached, and how that was even possible: So – Is American history instructive here? Could it be that the leaders of business, politics, medicine, government and education throughout the evolution of the United States, brought us to this point in time? What happened? What was the bump in the road that made the unimaginable past few years a reality? 

And now, David asks, do we have a chance now to re-make the country and create the future in ways we’d never imagined?  David says you bet we do, but it’s not about paying down the national debt or voting for this or that party – it’s about how we reclaim our humanity in a world obsessed with anything but.

Late Feb 2024: 

November 2023 Dr. David Martin with Russell Brand:

 
 
His firm, M-CAM, was responsible for leading investigations and supporting prosecution of some of the largest financial frauds in the history of the USA, as a contractor for the US Department of the Treasury. His C.V. boasts founding companies, appointed directorships, and advisory positions too numerous to list here. His most recent company that he is both the founder and CEO of, is called “RASA”, whose goal it is to provide “Environmental Solutions For the Hydrocarbon Industry”, with clean, eco friendly solutions for recycling, as well as providing an amazingly green and sustainable reagent for the oil sands energy sector. 
 
David also has recently started his own media company, having both produced and appeared in numerous documentaries about the world, pre-and post 2020. As a keynote speaker, he has spoken to groups of all kinds, such as investment firms, parliamentary committees, associations, and more. To learn more just click here.

Mark Fisher

Mark Fisher is the former BLM Rhode Island Chapter Co-Founder, & now, he is the Founder and executive director of BLM Inc, which is “…A pro-entrepreneurship education and financial empowerment non-profit company for African Americans and their communities”, based in Maryland. He is also an author, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and a former community organizer.  He’s also the founding partner of “The Black Block” in which his team has bought an entire business block in downtown Pawtucket and dedicated it to supporting and elevating black-owned businesses in Rhode Island. This project also includes extremely affordable housing for people who are going through challenging times.
 
Mark was born and raised in a tough neighborhood, and like so many growing up in poverty, he had begun to travel a familiar road that doesn’t end well for so many. While this was just one of many challenges he overcame, though so many of the kids he grew up with didn’t make it past their obstacles, Mark did. He started out in life going quickly down a felonious wrong path as a wayward youth, heading toward a life of criminality, but he turned his life around with the help of family and his faith in the Lord. (As the son of a pastor perhaps it was fate that he graduated from Bible college in his mid 30’s, with a double major bachelor’s degree and making the Dean’s List!) And so now, he is dedicated to helping others realize no matter where they are in their journey, they can turn their lives around too. 
 
While many may think that Mark, by way of being of “BLM”, might be somehow partisan – he really isn’t. He is an original and analytical thinker with a mind of his own, who wants what is best for everyone in America at large, and for their communities locally. His message is one of unity, of coming together to help unify a fractured country. In fact, Mark participates in weekly prayer session of the J6 “Political” prisoners, seeing them as equally oppressed and victimized as any marginalized group. As he once said in an interview about the J6 prisoners: “”They’re lambs led to slaughter, to be sacrificed as an example for all who might want to dissent in the future,” and “This is what the government does to those who express independent thought and want to stand up for what they believe.” 
 
One of Mark’s greatest and most people-empowering projects was the creation of the first-ever African-American Library in New England called “The African American Innovation Center” to help youths not just to believe in their dreams, but also, to acquire the work skills to achieve them. He’s most proud of this particular initiative, as it teaches coding to people from the inner-city, who get paid $300 a month to learn, and then graduate from the program with the job skills to be able to earn a $50,000 annual salary. Mark has been featured recently in a number of different media outlets and podcasts, as well as having made numerous appearances on MSM outlets like NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliates, as well being interviewed by The Epoch Times and profiled by the Boston Globe – everyone likes to hear his message of hope and empowerment, as well as how the country needs to vote in order for the African-American community to continue to move forward. His answers might surprise some, which is why Mark is such an important keynote speaker for this new era.
