Adam Markel Speaking Trailer

Three whistles rang out. And I knew what that meant. I was a lifeguard. I was 19 years old. And three whistles on the beach meant someone was missing. We're all lifeguards in this room. All of us are guarding something in our lives regarding our families, clients, our customers, our businesses, our health, our relationships. That guarding takes a toll. It's really about resilience. Without that, we cannot succeed. We've got to develop our resil before we need it. Resilience is not just about the physical. It's mental, it's emotional, it's even spiritual. High performance isn't about exhaustion. It's not about burnout. It's about recovery. How do you routinely and ritually take care of yourself as though other people's lives depended on you? To take care of yourself is not selfish. To take care of yourself creates a model for others to take care of themselves. And then it becomes cultural. Brazilian teams change the world. We have the power to make workplaces engines for mental health and well being. The capacity to perform at our best in the future relies on our resilience in the present. It's as simple as that. It's as transformational as that. Resilient teams change the world.
