Adam Markel

Adam Markel, keynote speaker, workforce futurist and resilience researcher, guides individuals and organizations to tap the power of resilience to master the challenges of constant change. His work redefines resilience and engagement in the workplace and equips organizations to create healthier, happier high-performing work cultures that are truly Change Resilient.

Markel has much to share about resilience, culture and change from his 18 years as an attorney building a multi-million-dollar enterprise and 20+ years as a CEO in the professional training and development space, as well as researching and consulting with organizations of all sizes and industries. Yet, some of his most enduring lessons came from his years as an ocean first responder – a life and death environment where Markel learned the importance of cultivating high performance capacity and impeccable teamwork.

In his latest bestselling book, "Change Proof," Markel shows how those principles of resilience are equally relevant today for any business that wants to move beyond managing change to actively embracing it and using times of uncertainty, crisis and chaos to create opportunities and stimulate individual and team growth.

As one of Huffington Post’s top speakers to see and a #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Markel’s keynotes, corporate workshops, and consulting integrate practical business strategies, person development insights and a unique delivery style to create a high-energy and impactful learning environment.

Markel is currently the Co-Founder and Chief Researcher of WORKWELL, a TEDx speaker and influencer, and host of "The Change Proof Podcast," facilitating insightful discussions with business leaders and social innovators and sharing strategies to fully embrace an uncertain world and build Change Proof organizations.
