Brown encountered only stern looks and silence from most of those in attendance, not an ounce of outreach or gratefulness for this disguised young person making the effort to attend this forum...

Babb Middle Rocks the House with Character
Babb Middle School students yesterday heard Dr. Adolph Brown III discuss the quality characteristics that make life harmonious - such as positive attitudes, cooperation, sportsmanship, fairness, school pride, and thankfulness - and then they heard the noted motivational speaker utter and do something quite unexpected and seemingly out of character: "I can dance," he shouted, and immediately began to "Bust a Move" on the gymnasium floor. His actions demonstrated that you can do fun stuff and still be a model citizen.
He had been invited by Character Education Coordinator Lillian Mitchell to promote the topic after she heard him speak twice before at other education meetings. "The things he shared were the things that we are teaching our students such as respect yourself, stay in school, make good choices, be better not bitter, and don't be a thug," she said.

Oct. ‘07 Courier Post Online - Boys learn to become men
Adolph Brown, the nationally known speaker who pulled the costume change, told the youths that it took him a while to stop being angry at the world after his father abandoned his family. "I'm tired of seeing the guy whose mom still picks him up from school, and he thinks he's a thug," Brown said, telling the boys to pull up their pants and sit up straight. Brown ranted against basketball star Kobe Bryant, who was caught cheating on his wife, and hip-hop lyrics that glorify failure (like "Can't pay my rent/Cause all my money's spent"). And he repeated the same mantra over and over ("Character is who you are when no one's watching").

April ‘07 Indiana Student Education Newsletter - Midwest Conference
Waking up on Saturday January 20th ,
eight Indiana Student Program members did
not know what they would learn and
encounter that day. On their way to listen to
the speaker that afternoon they noticed a man
outside the ballroom with baggy gangster
looking clothing on. He looked different from
the rest of the people who were attending. To
their surprise he ended up being the speaker
that they would soon listen to. His name was
Dr. Adolph Brown, a clinical psychologist.
He said many profound statements, the
students were vigorously writing down. The
most favorite quote from Dr. Brown was, “No
child with a behind left because we are testing
it off.” Dr. Brown persuaded the audience
about how important relationships are with
your students plus the attitude and approach
teachers use. While he informed the crowd
about the three F’s of public education which
are Fair, Firm, and Fun he also used his seven
children as an example. Our students were
thrilled and energized after hearing his speech.

I wanted to understand the “major
zing” that many purport that
Dr. Brown has to his presentations.
First and foremost, he informed me that
he prefers to be called his name ‘Adolph’ and
the title” doctor” was
what he does. As a young person, Adolph
could have easily been described as
a bright underachiever, at-risk, or
experientially deprived. He has always
desired to help people that were hurting.
He has a life dedicated to learning
knowledge and to the spread of knowledge.
A cute small town boy with infectious
joy, Adolph paid his dues to become
a polished smooth professional from
the projects, divorce and tragedy to
make a comeback.
Adolph stands up to scrutiny although
many opposites reside within him. He's at once self-deprecating, confident, and eminently affable. He
is a prime example of how the worst
events in life can bring out the best
of someone. Adolph has worked hard
and shunned the political spotlight.
He is leaving a legacy of hope, faith,
and healing across the globe.
I experienced first hand Adolph’s
rare talent to help those around him
achieve more than they ever thought
possible. His pure messages can motivate
and inspire ALL. I have come to the
conclusion that when selecting a speaker
for your audience, second best is not
an option. The speaking profession
is truly reserved for just a few.
Of all the things Adolph does, he
can be simply classified as a self-improvement
and relationship expert. Although he
clearly avoids labels and titles, he
basically describes his efforts as
helping others discover their human
potential through positive self-think,
positive self-talk, and a positive
self-walk or action.
When asked about the pace he must
maintain with so many different avenues
to positively affect change, Adolph
replied "I dislike my life disrupted
by routine and when I do become tired
— I recognize that it is a small
price to pay for a full life." It
is obvious that Adolph is passionately
committed to being a positive change
agent in our world. His messages will
certainly endure as he states "My
creativity is inspired daily by my
family." This interview was more
than motivational—it
was transforming.
