Adam James delivered an exceptional multi-month leadership program for our team at Studio+. His presentations were consistently well-prepared and engaging, demonstrating both confidence and expertise. He showed a level of vulnerability by providing real-life examples that made concepts easier to understand. What particularly stood out was Adam's ability to provide thought-provoking guidance that resonated with our team members.

We engaged Adam James to speak with our Officer team at First Florida Integrity Bank. Adam impressed me with his preparation prior to his delivery to ensure his understanding of our culture and history. By interviewing members of our leadership team prior to his motivational talk, Adam customized his message to align with the strategic needs of our organization. As a result, his message was on point and pertinent to our employees. I admire the passion and energy of Adam’s delivery and his superior service in supporting our messaging needs. Adam is an exceptional person, and he has an exceptional story to share!

From the moment I met Adam virtually on a planned Zoom call about how we can work together to bring the Mindful Journey message to sports officials, I knew we were working with something special. Adam is intelligent, engaging and inspiring. But more than any of those characteristics — because many keynote speakers we explored have those attributes — it was clear that Adam cared. This set him apart. As an active basketball referee he obviously cares about officiating's value in the sports equation, but Adam prepared for every interaction we had and truly got to know the mission, audience and goals of both our organization and our annual industry event of the year. This preparation and care for who we are and what we do allowed Adam to deliver a valuable session for event attendees and staff alike.

From the outset, Adam took the time to thoroughly understand our goals, challenges, and industry landscape. Through his coaching, we have gained clarity in our business strategy, enhanced leadership skills, and improved overall efficiency. One of Adam’s greatest strengths is his communication skills. He can inspire and challenge individuals to reach their full potential. His supportive yet results-driven approach has empowered our team to adopt new perspectives, embrace change, and implement effective solutions. Adam's sessions were always engaging, insightful, and filled with valuable takeaways that we could immediately apply to our business. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam to any individual or business seeking a knowledgeable, motivational, and results-oriented speaker.

Adam was the keynote speaker at our NIRSA Region 2 Conference. His contagious passion for success and enthusiasm for life energized the audience and gave us a renewed purpose for the conference. Adam’s energy brought everyone to the edge of their seats ready to go out and rediscover their own passion and enthusiasm for success.

Adam’s messages are powerful testaments to the experiences he’s collected thus far in his life and are an inspiration to hear. Being that I am a Sales Executive, my job requires me to take risks, and Adam helped me understand that without them, I can’t be as successful as I want to be. I look forward to applying his messages to my life and would highly recommend others to do the same

Adam was the Keynote Speaker for the Annual Florida PRIMA Conference. We are inspired by his “POSITIVE” and “RELATIONAL” approach to everyday life. He is real, authentic, and impactful—not just in his teachings, but in the way he walks through life each day. Because of this, we were excited to have him as the opening Keynote Speaker. We knew he could set the tone for the conference in a way that encouraged us, as local and state risk managers, to take an extra step in addressing mental health challenges within our entities and our communities. Adam’s focus and teaching pushed us to think about helping others in more meaningful ways, while also looking inward and challenging ourselves to pursue a more meaningful life journey. Personally, his message has encouraged us to operate from a place of purpose and service. We have also heard from numerous attendees who shared that they could have listened to Adam far longer than the 60 minutes he was given.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Adam James for several years now. I was first introduced to him when he spoke at an association meeting, and his message resonated deeply with me. Since then, we’ve had the opportunity to bring him in as a speaker for our leadership team and eventually for our entire staff, eventually being led into the Mindful Journey program. Adam has a unique ability to guide you inward, challenging you to dig deep—not just personally, but professionally as well. He has a way of peeling back the layers we often ignore or maybe don’t even realize are there. For me, it’s been eye-opening. His sessions push me to reflect, reset, and ultimately want to be a better version of myself.

Chelsie Foltz
Director of Marketing & Communications, Club Pelican Bay

Adam’s message of hope will resonate with any audience and any person with a desire to improve their quality of life and life experiences. Adam’s speak straight approach is well received and welcomed in a time where many are afraid to say what needs to be heard. I highly recommend Adam to any organization looking for someone to bring new energy and restored passion to their team

Matt Moraski
Sr. Managing Principal, OneDigital

I only wish I had met Adam prior to my retirement. He would of been a tremendous asset to our leadership team. As a business owner, the value of Adams message is profound. Adam delivers his message in a way, that makes you think. His tremendous passion and inspiration makes you believe, and most importantly his message makes you feel that anything is possible.

Jim Reddin
CEO, Redking Foods, LLC (Ret.)

Adam was incredibly inspirational, weaving in real-life stories that made his message truly resonate. It wasn’t just theory—his personal anecdotes and the way he connected with each of us made the experience feel deeply personal and relevant. What stood out most was his undeniable passion. You could feel it in every word he spoke. His examples struck a chord with both me and my team, prompting meaningful reflection on how the lessons apply to our lives—both personally and professionally. One moment that especially stuck with me was his focus on purpose: ‘Why do we do what we do?’ That question challenged me to think more intentionally about my choices and actions. I also appreciated the practical takeaways. Adam didn’t just inspire—he equipped us. From book and podcast recommendations to his grounding reminder to be present and stop creating false narratives about ourselves and others, his insights continue to shift my mindset. As he said, ‘We’re probably wrong,’—a truth that’s already helped me grow. His discussion on ‘Be courageous to recreate yourself’ and ‘speaking with passion’ was especially powerful. Thank you, Adam, for an unforgettable and transformative experience.
