Testimonials

“One of the finest Leaders I know…  I guarantee you will grow in the company of Adam Kreek, I know I did.”

- Hockey Night in Canada, Ron MacLean

“From the moment we hired Adam on to deliver the keynote address at our employee conference, we knew we had someone special. Our conference theme of Power with Purpose was strengthened with Adam’s complimentary and relevant presentation. Utilizing company specific examples, Adam had our 200 attendees captivated and engaged from the moment his multi-media presentation began.

Illustrating relevant examples of how our day-to-day personal and professional lives can parallel the challenge and rewards of training and competing within a team, Adam’s alluring and inspiring tales of his own experiences not only held the audience to the edge of their seats, but provided inspiration and motivation to use the tools to reflect, learn, grow, and let it go in all areas of our lives.

By tailoring and customizing his presentation, Adam ensured our corporate messaging remained on target. Truly a man of his word, Adam spent time with our team both before and following his keynote, intent on learning as much about our company as he could. Adam’s charismatic personality shines through as someone who is warm with passion and excited by life. This translated into several staff members speaking about him for days following the event; true evidence of a gold medal performance!

Best wishes for continued success.”

“Thank you for a great Opening Address at our Annual General Meeting. Everyone is still talking about it! Your presentation was timely and on target to help our team deal with the changes and challenges our organization is currently facing. The practical concepts and tools that you shared have provided each of us with relative inspiration and motivation. It is really great to see how the team responded to your presentation.

I was not prepared for your enthusiasm and energy, and thoroughly enjoyed your style of presentation. You were able to put across a powerful message in a captivating way. You had our team laughing, nodding and participating all the way through. You have a unique ability to craft your message to be easily understood, while making it fun, interesting and memorable.

It was a pleasure meeting you and I appreciate and value the contribution you made in making our Annual General Meeting a success.”

“Adam was nothing short of spectacular. I’ve talked with dozens of people about his presentation, through whom I’ve gotten feedback from just about all the employees and guests that attended. Words I hear from them: “very motivational,” “inspiring,” “funny,” “smart”… They were thrilled that he shared his medals and the torch with everyone, too. It was a treat to have him join us for the entire evening – he was very generous with his time and attention to all who met him.

I’m regularly hearing key words and ideas from Adam’s presentation in normal conversation here at Island Savings – “own it!” – and we all found his closing of the event with singing like Kreek an inspiration. It wasn’t just belting out our anthem, it was putting our arms around our colleagues and singing it TOGETHER that brought us the vibrations we’re still feeling today.”
- Senior Manager, HR, Island Savings Credit Union
