From my first conversation with Adam I knew we were going to have an incredible event today. There was some chemistry on the phone and I have to say today absolutely held up to the high expectations I had for what we were going to do. I care about the people in this room and they need to hear this message and Adam was the right person (and this was the right vehicle) to get that to our folks. Thank you so much – we appreciate you being a part of our team.

Our conference attendees left the room inspired and with a tangible next step to increase their resilience.

NORTH EAST FLORIDA EDUCATIONAL CONSORTIUM

We were looking for something that was different for our A/E/C Thrive Conference – something out of the box, that would change the way people think. Adam delivered all that in spades. He gave us so many interesting things to think about. The audience loved it – they were talking, engaging and interacting with each other. We weren’t expecting that! Adam really knows how to pull people out and get them focused on the core issues. Resilience is a hot topic but not everybody can really talk about it in an engaging way like Adam. He helped us consider things differently.

Adam’s presentation was super energetic and well received by our manager population. The way he presented far exceeded what I thought was possible for a Zoom experience, and the interactivity and dynamism stood out.
