Unprecedented. Chaotic. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. These are the four most frequently used words to describe how we are all feeling lately. But even those powerful words aren’t strong enough to express how our personal and professional lives have been impacted. And when we can’t access our maximum level of productivity, key performance indicators like revenue and profitability suffer.
To combat this, organizations must become Change Proof and leaders must cultivate resilience on their team. This work can begin with Adam’s high-energy and engaging change management keynote speaking, where he delivers simple, realistic daily practices that increase resilience and show you how to leverage uncertainty and change to cultivate long-term growth.
These past years have been extraordinarily challenging for leaders. You may have to optimize employee performance while navigating seemingly insurmountable issues stemming from the pandemic, inflation and social unrest. We’ve also witnessed a cultural shift where employees, hold different values around a workplace culture of collaboration and productivity. The only way for leaders to continue your forward momentum is by unearthing the capacity to leverage uncertainty and change in order to create long-term growth.
In his highly interactive keynote speech about resilience, The Way Forward, Adam takes his audience down a path of small but mighty PIVOTS that will re-stabilize, re-energize and re-engage your workforce. The tangible and impactful methods he uses will help leaders become Change Proof.
When your team is too tired, busy or burned out to see past their immediate tasks, the big picture will be outside their scope of vision. This has led to an estimated U.S. $221 million to upward of U.S. $187 billion spent annually by organizations on costs stemming from stress and exhaustion.
Every leader must work for the greater good by developing an organizational capacity that allows employees to thrive under stress. Adam’s impactful and engaging keynote take on how to create a got-your-back culture is a crucial step in that work. In this keynote, you will learn how to engage critical methods that elevate performance capacity and leadership resilience. Your entire team will receive tangible and exciting takeaways that will create a positive impact well into the future.
In this deeply personal speech about resilience, Adam brings his audience on a journey to the past as he shares some of the most vital and enduring lessons he learned during the seven years he worked as a lifeguard on a Long Island beach. Through his important perspective on resilience, which he calls the “Resilient Leadership Model,” Adam guides his audience into a deeper understanding of the true meaning of resilience and leadership and how to cultivate it within your organization.
Through a thoughtful combination of audience participation and powerful stories from today’s headlines, Adam uncovers principles such as creating trust, how to hold employees accountable through love rather than judgment, how to provide authentic feedback in a game-changing way and how to establish systems that create a got-your-back culture.
Change is life, and life is always changing. Disruption will always arrive, and if your organization is not prepared to manage it and make the most of it, it will lead to a very uncomfortable ride for everybody. Embrace the journey by cultivating a pivot-ready culture, which combats mediocrity and ensures your organization’s long-term success and survival. In this thought-provoking resilience and leadership speech, Adam shares how our innate ability as humans to reinvent and innovate—what he refers to, in his #1 WSJ bestseller called Pivot, as “PIVOT-ability”—is vital to business longevity and stability.
You will learn how to embrace small changes that lead to increased productivity, leverage a regeneration process to build resilience into your organization, shift away from the old paradigm success formula to encourage your team to reach new heights and disrupt the fear of change to shatter the status quo.
