“Aaron Baker was nothing short of extraordinary. His keynote at this year’s Heartland Conference was one of the most moving and inspiring sessions we’ve ever experienced. From the moment he took the stage, it was clear he had taken the time to truly understand our audience.

enough to have Aaron come onsite to our company to speak to our employees. Our company's core values are beauty, freedom and being frictionless. These values not only extend to our products, but also to our people and how we interact in our professional and personal lives. Aaron is a natural ambassador to these values and having him speak about his experiences and beliefs was not only touching, but inspiring as well. Aaron does not just speak about his experiences, but he teaches principles and life skills by story-telling. He is motivational and energetic. The take away from this experience was far beyond my expectations and I am still hearing positive feedback from our employees a week later. So grateful for that experience and so grateful that Aaron has chosen to help others along in their own personal and professional journeys.”

There was great symbolism in his personal stories that could be metaphorically applied to our leadership and business development journey. Aaron’s will to overcome and put mind over matter when facing the most difficult challenges one could possibly face left us feeling inspired and motivated to get to work in both our personal and professional lives.

We Rise Together
“We were privileged to have Aaron join us for 15 sessions of our Culture of Caring at Providence St. Joseph Hospital. His story of resilience, hope, gratitude, human connection, and passion for living each day to the fullest inspired our team of over 2,300 caregivers and physicians. We have all been challenged the last few years through the pandemic, but to hear Aaron’s “Rebellious Recovery” ongoing for over 23 years inspired us all to fill our hearts with more gratitude and seek ways to help on another and push ourselves. It was great having him join us before each session and comfortably stay after to meet and talk with as many of our caregivers as possible. On a side note, I had a chance to mountain bike with him, his determination and joy for being outdoors is inspiring and pushes me to put in some extra hill work as well!”
—Jeremy Zoch, CEO, Providence St. Joseph Hospital
