In today’s demanding and fast-paced workplace, employees are being asked to do more with less, meet continuously increasing goals, and navigate constant change—all while maintaining peak performance. The cost of this relentless pressure is staggering: burnout alone costs businesses an estimated $62 billion annually in health and safety expenses, not to mention the toll it takes on productivity, morale, and retention. The ability to sustain high performance in this environment isn’t just about skill or effort—it’s about developing “Change Resilience.”
Adam Markel brings a transformative perspective to resilience, drawing on a rich and diverse background that includes 18 years as a trial attorney, 9 years as a CEO, and even 7 years as a lifeguard on Long Island’s beaches. For organizations, resilience is the unsung hero of success, creating a culture where well-being and performance go hand in hand. Without resilience, employees cannot meet the rising expectations placed upon them, let alone thrive within them.
This dynamic presentation is designed for leaders and individual contributors alike, offering actionable strategies to build a resilient culture that prioritizes employee well-being while empowering individuals to excel. Through engaging stories, audience participation, and practical tools, Adam educates audiences about what resilience is …. And what resilience is not.
