Situation: Mutual of Omaha is experiencing significant growth, which means a number of new employees are joining the company. Even though 93% of employees at Mutual of Omaha say it is a great place to work—compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.*—the company knew it needed to do all it could to future-proof its leaders and future leaders to meet its customers’ needs while being brand advocates.


Length of partnership: 12 months

Approach: To engage Mutual of Omaha employees more deeply, we implemented a “Three Point Impact” series of in-person and virtual keynotes. Topics focused on Leading with Empathy, Personal Well-being, and Team Leadership. Each talk utilized real-time polling for open-ended and multiple-choice questions throughout the conversation, the results of which were shared with Mutual of Omaha. We also reiterated relevant Mutual of Omaha employee benefits and programs such as employee resource groups.

Over the course of the three talks, Mark connected with more than 500 Mutual of Omaha employees.

Results: More than 95 percent of attendees throughout Mark’s three sessions gave them highly favorable ratings.

Quote: “Mark’s unique ability to take his approach to employee well-being, adapt it perfectly to his audience, and deliver a relatable, practical, and actionable approach that we can implement right away is inspiring. We needed a speaker who could engage with the audience while delivering value in a short amount of time. And Mark did exactly that. So much so that teams are more mindful of building empathetic relationships, watching the number of meetings they hold or participate in, and taking time to connect and check in with one another more authentically. Overall, more than 95 percent of attendees responded with a highly favorable opinion of the talks. We cannot recommend Mark enough for your team.” — Ashley Hickson, Mutual of Omaha
