“Adar brings diverse groups forward with joy and purpose. His education, his experience, and his unique cultural background enable him to speak with anyone, to reach everyone, and to lead groups to stronger connection and greater impact. His workshops and trainings are the best I’ve seen.”
— Adrienne Scherenzel-Curry, VP of Community Engagement at Chicago Bulls, Executive Director of Chicago Bulls Charities
“Just what I would have expected from a world-class speaker! Sign me up if Adar ever decides to run for public office.”
— DR. ROBERT PUTNAM, RECIPIENT OF THE NATIONAL HUMANITIES MEDAL, PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC POLICY HARVARD UNIVERSITY, AUTHOR OF BOWLING ALONE
“Adar is an authentic leader in the truest sense. He is patient, passionate, and kind, and has a deep understanding of the human condition — the need to be heard and loved. I have witnessed first-hand Adar’s unique ability to connect with others on a large and small scale. It is nothing short of remarkable.”
— JANAE MEYER, CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER, METROSQUASH
“To a seasoned, experienced group Adar brought calm, humor, organization, and experience to create comfortable space for dialogue on sensitive topics. He can be trusted completely to lead critical, complex discussions and you can expect the result to be clarity and action.”
— Terry Stone, Boston Symphony Orchestra Trustee, Former Executive Vice President of MIT, and Former CEO of Chubb
“Adar brought a penetrating intellect to our effort to align our team’s mindset after 15+ years built up operating in a different, less collaborative way. Numerous participants commented that the interview he conducted with me was one of their top highlights from the two-day meeting, and in several situations, the highlight. This interview was probing, intense, and effective at pressing the boundaries of the interviewee’s (mine) comfort level in a way that created openings for valuable action and impact.”
— Michael Herde, Chief Compliance Officer, Charles Schwab
“The issues we needed to tackle in our meeting were complicated, charged, and critical. We were successful thanks to Adar. He understood the issues. He understood the hopes and desired outcomes of those planning the meeting. And he knew how to create trust and community quickly during the meeting to allow solutions to come forward. It is also a sincere pleasure to work with Adar, a fascinating and humorous storyteller who keeps things moving.”
— Dr. Susan Skochelak, Vice President, American Medical Association
