Agel hosted its first ever European Leadership Summit in Mannheim, Germany, last weekend. Over 500 Agel team members from over 15 countries including Germany, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, and Ireland were in attendance which is pretty good.

The “Euro-Jam” summit was held in the prestigious Mannheim Rosengarten Centre featured two days of intensive training for our up-and-coming European leaders.

Dr. Amzallag gave product training and Agel President Craig Bradley gave an inspiring address on “Why Agel Now.” He talked about a gratitude rock that he keeps in his pocket at all times and challenged those in attendance to commit to qualifying for the new Agel President’s Club over the next 3 months.

Those who made the commitment were invited to take a “gratitude rock” of their own with the number 10 written on it (indicating the number of enrollments they would have to make in a single month to qualify for the President’s Club).
