Adam Legge is the President of the Business Council of Alberta, author of Making Remarkable: How to Deliver Purpose, Inspire People, and Build a Platform for Exceptional Results, and the former President and CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

In our conversation, Adam shares his experience as he was first brought on as President & CEO of the Calgary Chamber. He was hired and tasked with the challenge to transform their organization.

Adam looked for outlines, books, or any information that he could get his hands on to help guide him in the process of making their Chamber remarkable. He ended up writing the book on this topic!

He learned that the three pillars needed to build your organization around are purpose, people, and platform.
