When she invests in an individual or group, there is no doubt they walk away empowered and ready to take on the world! Adams is an exceptional communicator, critical thinker, top-level solutionist, problem solver, strategic decision-maker, and an unparalleled leader and communications industry expert!

She approaches this with a unique blend of fun, relatability, and powerful transformative impact. Among her proudest accomplishments are instances where she addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C., and delivered a keynote address at an event hosted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. On the latter occasion, Adams stood before 150 organizations and representatives, with a total of 750 individuals in attendance.

Adams’ motto is clear: effective communication and transformational leadership are your most powerful tools. If one wants it, they should speak it and seize it!
