Leadership Keynote Speaker
Leadership Keynote Speaker
There’s a misconception around getting involved in public service (from simple volunteering to joining public boards); people believe that the altruism you receive is the only benefit, but there are tangible benefits that help you career, your community, and your self development.
Fenton talks through his experiences in the world of leadership and civic engagement: from the first door he ever knocked on for a candidate, to joining large decision making bodies that impact your day to day like public transit and libraries, walking through how he was able to maneuver these opportunities and what these opportunities have afforded him from a career, skill development, and networking perspective.
“Public service goes beyond altruism—it fuels your career, enriches your community, and drives personal growth. Embrace civic engagement to not just give back, but to grow forward.”
Every keynote is tailored to the audience in the room, whether that's entrepreneurs, public-sector leaders, or corporate teams. Fenton has spoken for organizations including Deloitte, Accenture, Loblaws, and Oxford Properties Group, helping teams turn ideas into action and navigate the toughest innovation and business challenges of the moment.
