Adam Hammes
Best-Selling Author, Environmental Educator and Consultant
Adam Hammes is a best-selling author, speaker and consultant. He shares how his experience of life, work and family shifted profoundly as he learned to connect with people less-passionate about sustainability, communicating his beliefs in ways that moved others to action. And how anyone can do the same by understanding emotional intelligence and psychology.
His story is profoundly unique: with a rural, conservative upbringing; becoming an environmental educator; a community organizer and non-profit founder; an award winning corporate sustainability professional; an adjunct university business professor; a successful sustainability consultant; and leading the creation of a state-wide sustainable business association.
