Mark Gober
Podcast Host & Bestselling Author
"Working with Adam has been critical in my finding a balance that works best for me...
...while I am still growing my business. We all know the admonition to “put on your mask before helping others…” and it can be a hard thing to really practice. I honestly don’t think I could be where I am today if I hadn’t found Adam!"
Janine Hamner Holman
Keynote Speaker
"Recharge zones, the green smoothie resulted in Aha moments...
...where I experienced a shift in my sense of wellbeing, understanding of my projections/their reflections, and walking the middle path. These helped me to achieve the aha moment of a level emotional disposition."
Tim VanBlon
Internet Engineer
"Adam walks the walk.
He's driven to succeed but does it with grace and balance. My biggest takeaway from working with Adam is realizing that I have a bigger career than I once thought. With his support, expertise, and knowledge, I have shifted how I approach the topic of being "too busy" or "stressed." I've changed the narrative that was holding me back. I now see the opportunities rather than the obstacles. I have Adam to thank for that and so much more. I am forever grateful."
April Beyer
Relationship Expert
"Adam helped me in so many ways, I could write a lengthy article.
Rather than speaking being the only focus I was interested in, it became clear it was one part of a bigger platform I am building. The process gave me an outlet to start doing what I want to be doing and stop what I was no longer interested in and bring more attention to how I could accelerate progressing my businesses. I am much more confident in making intuitive choices after working with Adam. He does this naturally, and was a great person to help me discover a stronger voice from within. I navigate communication more effectively, I address issues more directly, I trust my intuition more consciously. My yes is a yes and my no is much more frequently a no. I still may have a bit of work to do on that one. Where's Adam?"
Mark Hattas
CEO Rookha Group
"Adam helped me regain...
...the confidence to let myself achieve my potential in this initiative."
Lesley Michaels
Women’s Activist
"Realizing that the “monkey mind” isn’t your higher self, but a saboteur of innovation, changed everything for me.
I gained the ability to reframe situations and quiet the doubt that once influenced my thinking around new opportunities. It gave me a new level of clarity and confidence in how I move forward."
David Stanley Hewett
American Artist
