"The sessions landed incredibly well. Our attendance was extraordinary: 83–86% of our team showed up...
... which is essentially 150% compared to any other team in any other organization. This session and your book are very promising resources to help our people navigate the changes ahead. Kudos to all of you. We handed you a laundry list of constraints, and I know that wasn’t easy to navigate."
"The attendees got exactly what they truly wanted: something inspiring that would help them grow.
It was a refreshing surprise and the perfect way to kick things off, setting the mindset and momentum for the rest of the conference. It was awesome! Even a few weeks later, we’re still riding the wave and basking in the attendee compliments. People were really engaged and the feedback and request for follow-up materials has been incredible."
Everyone absolutely loved it. ‘I’ve got your back’ has become part of our company lexicon...
... you can hear it in meetings now, it’s really taken off. We’ve had big-name speakers before like Emmett Smith from the Cowboys but this one struck a deeper chord. The feedback was over the top. It was perfect from start to finish."
"Adam's sessions were a huge hit and we truly appreciate the energy and insights he brought to our leaders.
It was wonderful having Adam Markel kick-off our Leadership Conference with such a powerful message! His team support and the additional post-event resources increased our leaders’ experience even further. Thanks for making the conference such a success and memorable experience."
"It was exactly the conversation the ELT needed to elevate our ability to achieve the critical goals that have eluded us for years.
You were dynamic and truly pushed our thinking. The custom assessment gave the team a clear sense of direction, and your guidance throughout was both balanced, perceptive and insightful. Thank you for a great first step in our journey here at Baptist Health System!"
"It was great working with Adam. The feedback from the participants has been outstanding.
One even described it as “life-changing.” His insights and perspectives were very timely for our team. Moreover, I loved the roadmap of actionable advice he provided. Thanks again!"
"Adam and his team have the unique ability to connect with others in a powerful way immediately!
From the first moment I contacted them, I was impressed. The time they took to get to know the needs of our group made it a truly customized experience which made it so impactful. Adam brought such energy and inspiration! The best part was that he gave key directions on HOW to do this in our busy lives. It has truly changed my everyday life. Just one example of the instant feedback from the audience: “There were a lot of things that Adam said that I didn’t know I needed to hear”.
"Adam, your message and the content you shared was perfect.
I enjoyed your presentation on Resiliency. It was insightful and will benefit my team."
"Adam was a fantastic addition to our Operations Leadership Conference.
Adam’s attention to detail and ability to tailor his messaging to our audience really came through in his keynote address. His energy was contagious, and our audience was eager to participate and learn from him. Overall, Adam was the right speaker at the right time and gave the group a lot to think about as we define the next chapter for the Dunkin’ Operations Team."
"At HEAPY, we put our colleagues first, and his message of accountability and empowerment was a perfect way to highlight...
... how we can all take small, meaningful steps to improve our health and well-being. I was impressed by Adam’s matter-of-fact delivery and the helpful tools he provided to improve personal resilience."
"Adam delivered great learnings in a true storytelling experience.
Adam is an amazing speaker who is able to keep the audience engaged all the time. He goes beyond by sharing his unique resilience assessment tool which is a huge takeaway for everyone. He also has an extraordinary team behind him that helps everything run smoothly and flawless during planning and event execution. They are a full package."
"Adam Markel was a fantastic inspirational speaker, there's a reason he got a standing ovation.
The engagement with our customers was amazing. Not only did he exceed our expectations on participant engagement, his content was spot on and highly relevant to our independent contractor network. I can't wait to have him back for our next event."
"Everyone very much enjoyed Adam’s presentation.
It was so fitting for our annual International Convention & Trade Show."
