The Alpha Effect: How Great Leaders Invest in Others

In this talk, Braun unveils the surprising traits of a new type of enduring leadership that focuses on collective team success and the exact tactics to make it happen. By explaining the best practices of the world's greatest alpha leaders in creating workplace culture, he unveils the actions you can take today to build teams that reach their greatest potential together.

Sustainability for the New Economy: The Greatest Opportunity of our Time
The emergency of sustainability as a must-solve challenge for our society has led to deep investment from companies, individuals and governments. But how do we position ourselves and our companies to be successful in this new era? As the CEO & Founder of Climate Club, the #1 sustainability success platform for leading companies, Adam Braun walks audiences through the history of this rapidly growing challenge and the critical steps each of us as individuals and business leaders can take to be a part of the solution. This speech is not about doom and gloom, it’s an uplifting journey through the stories of innovation and growth that will leave audiences clear-eyed about the greatest opportunity to drive impact and business value of our time.

The For-Purpose Approach: Redefining Business for What’s Ahead
Using his unique “for-purpose” approach, Adam Braun meshed for-profit business acumen with non-profit idealism and created a model now followed by a mission driven generation. Braun shares his experience as a model for how to get “unstuck,” outlining the key steps that can actively transform even the smallest ideas into a big reality. In this engaging journey-filled presentation, Braun explains the chances he took early on in his entrepreneurial journey, placing his bets on what he foresaw as an upcoming significant rise in the “profitable purpose,” which also harnessed the power of Millennials entering the workforce, and how together they realized that the most valuable currency we each possess is our commitment to a shared mission.

The Future of Learning and the Evolving Workforce
As the Founder of Pencils of Promise and MissionU, Adam Braun has reshaped the landscape of education in profound and diverse ways. At Pencils of Promise he and his team have built ~600 schools worldwide. At MissionU, a 21st-century higher education company teaching hard and soft skills for the new economy, Braun provided a debt-free alternative to higher education and pioneered hybrid learning for workforce development.

Braun’s work is deeply rooted in innovation, purpose, and the transcendent power of quality learning and development. An early adopter of remote learning (he pioneered education through Zoom and Slack back in 2016) Braun also provides tactical insight into how to navigate a hybrid workforce. In his informative and compelling remarks, he draws on his diverse range of experiences to provide a unique and forward-looking perspective on learning at many levels. He reveals what he’s learned at the helm of innovative and internationally heralded education programs, how to inspire and impact the next generation of leaders, and how to build growth opportunities infused with passion, strategy and intention.

Developing the Next Generation of Leaders
The largest transfer of power and wealth in the history of our global workforce is happening in the next five years, and it's the transition to Millennials controlling the largest share of our global economy. Adam Braun has been at the forefront of this transition as a national leader shaping and inspiring the next generation of leaders. Across Pencils of Promise, MissionU and now Climate Club, Braun partnered with groundbreaking companies from Spotify to Warby Parker, to hone in on the specific qualities and skills that set revolutionary innovators apart from the pack, encouraging the next generation to step out of their comfort zone and into a future of self-discovery, passion, and purpose. In this compelling talk, Braun shares what he’s learned working with members of Gen Y and Gen Z, and the unique tools, tips and tactics to help organizations across industries best engage with, understand, and support the workforce of tomorrow.

The 5 Keys to Unlocking Innovation Within
From Pencils of Promise to Climate Club, Adam Braun has learned the ins and outs of how to grow an innovative business-- and the obstacles and challenges that come along the way at each step of the journey. From Founding Pencils of Promise in his 20s with just one $25 deposit, to starting the company MissionU that CNN called “perfect”, Braun's seen first-hand the unique tactics and tools to achieve unprecedented growth, team-wide breakthroughs, and industry disruption.

In these illuminating remarks, he provides actionable lessons on how to harness the very best of innovation and entrepreneurialism, while simultaneously preparing yourself for the uncertain.
