Testimonials

     

 Your speech was most inspirational. You delivered it with poise, polish and class. 

Hamilton Sports Celebrity Dinner
     

 Only one word can describe your participation…awesome! You have such a great attitude to life and all that it has to offer that I am sure you inspired everyone there. Life is about breaking barriers of all sorts and you demonstrated that in spades. You are a great role model. 

SHAD International
     

 Jeff Adams was incredible. He was our favorite presenter and the favorite of all the financial services advisors attending (the survey will confirm soon…). While Jeff was speaking, you could have heard a pin drop, yet the audience was energized, able to give him several standing ovations. His strength, his courage and his generosity have meant a lot to all of us, not to mention the many motivating factors relevant for the professional development of our advisors that Jeff also shared… 

Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network
     

 You were very inspiring…people have quoted you regarding overcoming barriers to achieve personal dreams…seeing them as opportunities and not road blocks. 

RBC Financial Group
     

 Right from the start Jeff was genuine, funny and an enthralling man to listen to and I’m happy to say this continued throughout his entire presentation. He had entertaining anecdotes, amusing stories and an inspiring over all message. There’s always that fear at the end of presentation when the floor is open to questions that no-one will raise their hand, but today this was not an issue! In fact, unlike any other guest speaker we’ve had, at the end of his presentation everyone wanted to come and shake his hand, have a quick word and say ‘thank you’. I think this in itself speaks volumes. Our next guest speaker has a high standard to meet!
