CHANGE PROOF LEVERAGING THE POWER OF UNCERTAINTY TO BUILD LONG-TERM RESILIENCE. 

In an era where change is the only constant, Adam Markel's keynote on Change Proof resilience offers invaluable insights for individuals and organizations navigating the complexities of the modern workplace. Drawing on his extensive experience as a resilience researcher, keynote speaker, and bestselling author, Markel provides a roadmap for harnessing the power of resilience to thrive amidst ongoing change and disruption. His latest bestseller, Change Proof: Leveraging the Power of Uncertainty to Build Long-term Resilience, underscores the necessity of developing resilience before it's needed, highlighting that resilience is multifaceted—encompassing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions.
Through engaging narratives and practical strategies, Markel elucidates how resilience is not merely about enduring but about thriving—transforming adversity into opportunity and growth

Key learnings and takeaways from Adam Markel's keynote include:

Holistic Resilience: Resilience spans mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual realms, requiring a balanced approach to foster overall well-being and long-term success.
Proactive Recovery: High performance is linked to recovery, not exhaustion. Incorporating regular, ritualistic self-care practices ensures sustained energy and productivity.
Leveraging Adversity: Change and adversity, rather than being feared, can be catalysts for growth and innovation, pushing individuals and organizations to evolve and strengthen.
Cultural Shift Towards Self-Care: Prioritizing self-care and encouraging it within teams cultivates a culture of resilience, leading to healthier, more adaptive, and cohesive groups.
Strategic Adaptability: Embracing change and developing strategies to leverage uncertainty can position individuals and organizations to bounce forward stronger, capitalizing on the inherent opportunities presented by adversity.

THE 3-QUESTION WORKSHOP A DEEPER DIVE INTO OPERATIONALIZING RESILIENCE .

Join Adam Markel for a continuation of the conversation about what resilience is, what it’s not and how to operationalize it for the long-term, sustainable success of your organization. In this interactive, process-oriented session, Adam will guide your team through a deeper exploration of individual and organizational resilience and how to more successfully apply it to their specific environment. Leaders will retake the Resilient Leader AssessmentTM and share their experiences with integrating the principles since the first session. The group will then engage in a collaborative discussion on the factors hat may erod resilience in the future, how to assist your teams in becoming more resilient and what they are prepared to do individually to model and create a context of permission for others. Throughout the session, Adam will share ideas, stories and tangible insights on creating a truly Change ProofTM, resilient organization.

GOT YOUR BACK CREATE A CULTURE OF CARE & WORKPLACE WELL-BEING

Stress and overwhelm are even larger challenges for organizations today, making these questions ever more important: Are we too tired, busy or burned-out to think big?

And if so, what do we do about it? With the pace of change only continuing to escalate during and after COVID-19, it’s critical that businesses provide an optimal environment for people to be at their best. With an estimated $62 billion being spent each
year in corporate health and safety costs alone due to exhaustion and burnout, it’s vital that leaders develop the organizational capacity to not only perform under stress, but to thrive in the face of it. In this virtual, high-energy and interactive talk, Adam explores the critical factors necessary to build higher performance capacity and resilience through a Got Your Back Culture.
Your team will leave with tangible takeaways for a lasting impact well after the event is over.
