What our clients say

By Far the Best!

I have seen dozens of Olympians speak at off-sites in the last 19 years, and Adam was by far the best. He was relevant to our business and had a fascinating story. He wasn’t spewing business dogma. He spoke to the people in the room, leaving a lasting and positive impact that travelled through our office. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from all our employees.

Adam's Keynote Set a Wonderful Tone!

We were very pleased with Adam Kreek’s keynote at FCL’s Path to Performance event for 280 of our management employees. Adam took time, in advance, to get to know our organization, meet our leaders, and build relationships with our employees. He also incorporated our organization and its vision into his presentation. This went a long way to making the presentation unique and personal—we felt as though it was meant for us. Adam’s message about asking ourselves, “Will it make the boat go faster?” is a concept that really resonated with people and has been repeated by our CEO. Another concept that people took from Adam’s presentation and have been using it, “we need to focus on the things that we can control and not on the things that we can’t”. We would recommend Adam Kreek to others because his keynote set a wonderful tone for rolling out our new competency model. Adam inspired our management employees by sharing his own journey on his personal Path to Performance.

Absolutely brilliant!

We recently had Adam share a keynote with our company on Mental Toughness, and it was absolutely brilliant! We needed someone who could deliver energy, a meaningful message and an understanding of our unique business; developing student entrepreneurs. Adam nailed it on all levels – then went on to surprise us with how well he was able to weave our culture and people into his stories. Now, the true measure of an inspiring presentation, in my opinion, is when the conversation continues long after the presentation has ended. This has been the case for our team; in the days following Adam’s presentation we heard many in our group quoting him, and saw plans to infuse Adam’s lessons into the businesses our teams who were returning home to startup. We are a unique brand, and are often hard to understand – Adam figured us out and left us wanting more. Working with Adam and his team at KreekSpeak we easy and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Life-Altering 24-hour Immersive Education

I hired Adam as a Keynote Speaker for a conference that I produced called 55North for business leaders across Canada. He was our highest-rated speaker, and the combination of his morning group workout with his talk was both informative and inspiring. I subsequently hired Adam to facilitate a 24-hour immersive experience for a group of 10 entrepreneurs on Vancouver Island that involved a combination of cryotherapy, amazing conversation, guided facilitation, and a 30km rowing expedition. It was life-altering. Honestly, I can’t recommend him enough.

Extremely engaging, practical and very impactful!

A huge thank you to Adam for his time and presentation! I found his talk extremely engaging, practical and very impactful. I was also on the speaker’s list that weekend, giving two presentations to my fellow optometrists and staff on topics related to eye health and office management. I have been teaching part-time outside of clinical practice for a number of years now, and really enjoy teaching and lecturing – and when I attend a lecture or presentation that was as good as Kreek’s – it is a huge learning and growth opportunity for me as well – on so many levels!! So a huge thank you! I loved it all!

We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

I highly recommend Adam! He is high energy yet calming, an engaging storyteller who has lived his lessons, real, quick-witted, humble, succinct, perceptive and action-oriented. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. Our leaders raved about him. Shine on, Adam!

Readiness, Resilience & Growth

Adam addressed a group of 100 soldiers preparing for deployments overseas, to develop their physical, mental and spiritual resilience. His commitment to readiness, resilience and growth had a tremendously positive impact on the soldiers. Adam brings energy, passion and creativity to his craft. We will certainly have Adam again for future engagements!

Presentation an absolute hit!

Adam, Your presentation was an absolute hit! Everyone is talking about it, using the 'goals, what can I control' etc as their own and in awe of your stories. Thank you for kicking us off with an impactful and memorable message. It's been a pleasure meeting and working with you!

Favorite Presentation in 16 years with Pfizer!

This was my favorite presentation in the 16 years I’ve been with Pfizer. Good choice!! Thank you for arranging the presentation by Adam. It really touched home for me. I‘ve had a very challenging year personally and his presentation had a huge impact on me. It’s amazing how something or someone can connect so strongly with me and my tough times. Again, thank you.

Adam was great and we hired him a second time!

Not having seen Adam present I was nervous of what he would deliver. Now having seen his presentation I know to trust the online videos and recommendations. He was outstanding! Adam really captured the audience’s attention – they were riveted for the full hour he spoke. His stories and candid advice where highly appreciated by the 550 UK business people who listened intently. Feedback following the event called out Adam’s presentation as a highlight with many attendees saying it was the best keynote presentation they had heard! Adam was great to work with and we hired him a second time to speak to our Latin American salesforce. We hope to work again with him in the future.
