Overcoming Adversity No Matter What

The accelerating disruption, relentless innovation and increasing uncertainty in the world makes adversity an all too frequent occurrence. Addressing it powerfully is critical to survival, not to mention breaking through to the next level. If your company or your audience is facing adversity, in whatever flavor it may come in, you require an adversity keynote speaker to fundamentally understand those challenges and empower clear action to overcome. Sterling Hawkins is an entrepreneur, writer, endurance athlete, adversity keynote speaker and someone who is deeply familiar with adversity himself. In his keynotes, he shares his own struggles and personal experiences that he combines with moving stories, compelling research and breakthrough tools that can’t help but inspire audiences into action with tools they can grab onto and inject right into whatever they’re facing. It’s an approach to adversity that’s history-tested and audience proven to help your company or audience breakthrough any kind of adversity No Matter What.

Sterling Hawkins’ adversity keynotes don’t motivate audiences, trying to push them to work ever harder. It’s a recipe for burnout, fallout and resistance. Rather, very intentionally, Sterling inspires audiences to understand the adversity they’re facing in a new way that frees them from the knowledge of the past to reach even great potential within themselves and their businesses. That inspiration is backed up with research, brain science and easy-to-use tools that those even facing overwhelming adversity can apply as soon as they leave the room. The ability to face adversity is need now more than ever as people, communities and companies face continuing pandemic impact, labor challenges, supply chain disruptions, non-stop competitive innovation, budget concerns and even global instability. Unaddressed, morale spirals downward, productivity suffers and in a worst case scenario, be the end of a company or a career. 

As an adversity keynote speaker, Sterling shares the incredible adversity that he has overcome himself and what he has learned first-hand from the journey. From a multi-billion dollar startup collapse to coming back to launch, invest or grow over 50 companies, adversity wasn’t in the way, it became the way. And it was something he had to first discover for himself before now sharing it with leadership teams and audiences around the world. Joining Sterling offers a peek into his real-life adversity, thousands of hours of research, mentorship and hunger for pushing the limit as an adventure seeker and endurance athlete. They’ll not only understand the adversity they’re facing in a new way, but be ready to take on anything else that comes there way, No Matter What.
