Testimonials

I would highly recommend Adam as a caring, collaborative, and impactful speaker that will resonate with attendees at your event! Adam’s one quality that really stood out to us was his willingness to go the extra mile and really take the time to get to know who our audience was and what was important to them, not just professionally, but also as it pertained to our cultural nuances. It would have been easy for him to simply dust off and recycle a presentation that he has used in the past, but instead, he spent time with our Speaker Committee doing his due diligence and researching our audience so that he could tailor his remarks and really connect with attendees. Adam is professional and prepared, and he has a checklist to work from that helped us to ensure his session went smoothly. If you are looking for a speaker who will put in the time, and when it is time, will stand and deliver, Adam is a great choice for your event.

– Jeff Westra, Business Services Manager, Wisconsin Workforce Development Association​

Working with Adam was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Even in a virtual setting, he went above and beyond to understand our organization’s needs, audience, and event goals, ensuring his presentation was perfectly tailored. His flexibility and responsiveness made the entire process seamless; coordinating schedules, adjusting to our virtual platform, and collaborating with our team was effortless. During the keynote, Adam was engaging, dynamic, and relatable, keeping our remote audience fully attentive and inspired. He delivered actionable insights with clarity and authenticity, striking the perfect balance between motivation and practical takeaways. If you’re looking for a speaker who is not only impactful and professional but also easy to work with and genuinely invested in your event’s success, Adam is an outstanding choice. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have him connect with our team virtually and would welcome him back anytime.

– Yvonne Adekale, Program Manager, Debo Oil and Gas Services

Adam is affable, warm, very bright, engaging, and easy to work with both from a contracting perspective and a content perspective. There was not a step in the process to retain Adam or a time in our relationship with Adam that was not easy, professional, personable, affable, and enlightening. He was the perfect person for our event and a phenomenal speaker. He shared insights that spoke to our specific audience (C-Suite professionals) in a very enjoyable and relatable way. I loved working with Adam and would love to do so again if ever able.

– Aaron Grau, CEO, Global Association Partners

Adam is an engaging, dynamic speaker that fuels positive energy into his audience. His insight on business success, overcoming obstacles, and finding true passion provided us with useful, tangible, inspiring materials to facilitate learning. Adam inspired me to remain committed to my professional goals as he shared his own journey with us. I would love to attend future presentations that Adam has to offer and would highly recommend him to those groups looking to take their members to the next level of performance, enthusiasm, and confidence.

– Eva DiVenti, Global PM, Uber for Business

Although Adam has years of experience in the business world, he is so humble and down to earth when he speaks. Adam is extremely approachable, and it feels as if he is speaking to close friends when he presents. He personally connects with each member of the audience, and he knows how to really listen, validate, and include everyone’s input. Adam willingly shares his advice and is happy to help others succeed. He is not afraid to talk about the difficulties he had to face, personal and professional, proving that failure is a part of success. Adam is extremely relatable, and because of this, he is able to foster a unique sense of trust and understanding with his audience when he speaks.

– Lana Mousessian, Human Resources Specialist, The Walt Disney Company

Adam was extremely easy to contact, book, and work with. His flexibility, adaptability, and passion for just wanting to inspire people made working with him not only impactful, but enjoyable. Adam went above and beyond any national speaker I’ve ever worked with when it came to consistent communication, working with our budget and policies, and willingness to make our event the best it could be. I whole-heartedly recommend Adam for your next speaking event.

– Anna Cedro, C2 Global

Adam kept [attendees] engaged with relevant content that was delivered in an way that they left empowered and ready to change the world. Adam was extremely flexible and willing to meet several times to ensure the speech was not only on topic but engaging and relevant. I highly recommend Adam for any speaking event as he has a unique ability to tailor the material to the targeted audience with immeasurable impact.

– Kim Donovan, Sr. Partner Talent Acquisition Programs, DIRECTV

Adam brings a true authenticity and transparency to his story and advice on how to pursue career goals, build key relationships, and remain agile in the business and life planning process. I left a 90 minute session with Adam inspired, while also clear on tactical steps I could take tomorrow to improve my career and business. My biggest takeaway was the power of relationships and people in your career. I’d encourage everyone in any industry to listen to Adam’s message and use his story to redirect or re-inspire your team.

– Ryan Campbell, Snowflake

Adam Mendler is one of the most unique public speakers I’ve had the pleasure of listening to! I’ve witnessed his stand-and-deliver style as well as when he uses visual aids. Whatever kind of talk he does, not only does he engage the audience with his charm, but he also makes the experience feel like a conversation more than delivering a ‘lecture.’ I can appreciate his ways of speaking because he doesn’t make himself sound like he is above everyone else, but that we all can learn something from one another. It’s rare to find a public speaker who is both humble and successful in his delivery.
