Doc, thank you for your inspiration today! Your presentation in Indian Prairie School District 204 was nothing short of outstanding!
Best speaker I have seen ever! Part of his class at the National Athletic Director’s Conference!! He’s right coaches matter he’s a testimonial to that! Loved the two backpack theory! As a coach I teach my kids to leave their baggage in the suitcase at the door and come into the gym free to work hard and have fun!!
EPIC!!! Christopher Cannon
Thank you for moving us forward! -Bryan Rosen, Walgreens
You were in Corpus Christ Texas August 2019 speaking for CCISD. Thank you. I do my best to take from whomever is speaking. You were a God sent. I signed the contract but wasn’t sure I would be back another year. Kids got on my nerve. You made me realize how much of an impact I can make in a child’s life. . I’ll look in the mirror every morning. Every child deserves a kind word.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your inspirational talk! I was in attendance when you addressed the Columbus City Schools staff! It was incredible. We must all work to unpack the backpack so that we can give the absolute BEST to our students! I loved what you said about the wheelbarrow. We must include everybody all the time! If we can be consistent in grasping the concept of "human kind:" and in that being always kind to all of our students and everybody else what an incredible school year we will have!
Thanks again!

Doc Brown your soul is magical and contagious. I will work on emptying my own back pack and be a balcony kind of person. Thank you! #GPISD
I’ve met few people to get it totally right. Dr. Brown did it right! - Karen Hocolm
Very dynamic, down to earth and candid master speaker. Lawrence Cooper
Adolph is the next BIG thing! I'm certain of it. As a business professional who has been around for four decades, he is "once in a blue moon!" Every single person I spoke with following his class stated how much they learned while having fun. It was also obvious that he loves what he does. Chen Yang
Hi! My name is Kyleigh and I was one of the students from Oak grove High that you spoke to earlier today. I don’t know if you will read this because you may be way too busy, but I just want you to know that you really inspired me with your speech today and it really touched my heart. You have inspired me to do better things with my education and most importantly my life. I have been a slacker lately and I do not always do the best that I can, but seeing your story, and your journey I’ve learned that there are no excuses. There is ALWAYS room to be better. It was a real eye opener to mr. You have also inspired me that it is TOTALLY OK TO BE DIFFERENT! Just like you, I was that person that tried to “fit in” with everyone, but you opened my eyes and told me that I should stand out. Thanks to you I have a whole different view point of my life and I will set goals to better myself. I feel like your speech has definately changed my life and today is a day that I will never forget!
*THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Dr. Brown has been the best speaker and communicator I have seen in 38 years of Education. When teachers and staff heard we had a Professional Development Day, They thought "same old, same old"...This was far from anything traditional! His words will inspire you. Dr. Brown is engaging and absolutely understands the classroom and Public Education because he's been there. The way to right Social Injustice is through education...believing in the best from every student that walks through our doors is what is needed today. Giving our students the tools to advocate for themselves and providing compassion and genuine concern is what it's all about.Every school district would benefit from Dr. Brown's wisdom. Thank You Dr. Brown for a fantastic learning experience.
It's about relationships and being connected to one another that will make this world a better place~ Thank You, Thank YOU!
I can not wait to read your books!!

I recently attended the CA Title I Conference and had the opportunity to see Dr. Brown speak. He had a room full of 800 people engaged with his dynamic personality, compelling stories and "real talk". I have been in education 30+ years and this was one of the most impressive and thought provoking presentations I have seen!
Angie
WOW!!! Thank you so grateful for the opportunity to be present thank you is not enough to describe the emotions listening Dr. Brown speak today I know we walked out empowered and willing to apply and reflect the F’s learned. Wish my teachers, students and families could have the opportunity to also listen to Dr. Brown
Dear Doc, On behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard Hampton Roads Black Heritage Committee, I would like to thank you for making our Black History Month Breakfast a memorable event.
Those in attendance had nothing but the highest praise for the exceptional message you presented on "The African Diaspora". The program was a huge success and I received word from our Partnership In Education teachers that the students could not stop talking about your presentation when they returned to school.
Thank you for participating in our event. We look forward to working with you in the future. You indeed have made it a better day!"

Thank you for presenting at the recent PPP Family Festival 2005: Count on PPP! Without your contribution, the conference would not have been possible. This year proved to be another successful event. We have received many messages from participants praising your information, expertise, and pleasant style of delivery. Everyone seemed to leave with new energy to make parent involvement a major contributor to student success in their local schools. I enjoyed working with you and wish you continued success in your endeavors!

I watched "Are You Basement or Balcony?" before I even ate breakfast, it was so compelling. Listening to "Against All Odds" is nothing less than brilliant. Following Dr. Brown and seeing a 'street kid' grow into a Sage has been an inspiring experience. All of his lectures get my thoughts going, and I end up yearning for more. This is the right way to learn about character...a fascinating and very thorough conversation. "Are You Basement or Balcony" is a very highly recommended purchase.

Dear Dr. Brown:
We are just beginning to settle down after that electrifying speech you delivered at the opening event of our Family University Network on November 20th. We were seeking a keynote speaker who would motivate parents and the entire family to get serious about the importance of learning and the value of education. Well, as we educators would say, you aced it.
The accolades for your presentation have been numerous and exceptional. Parents and interested members of the community gave you high marks on their evaluation forms and wished every citizen could experience your energy and magnetism.
Thank you for being such a vital part of our new initiative. You have helped launch what we hope will be a winning experiment for promoting the supportive and nurturing role of family and community in preparing our children for the demands of today and the future.
Dr. Marcus J. Newsome

WOW!! You were TOTALLY awesome and I see you have found FAVOR. This was a teacher's institute where no one fell asleep and where everyone was able to connect and relate what you talk about to a personal experience. When I go to team meetings and there are comments about a student's behavior, I simple say have you put them in your wheel barrow? Or that is a screamer, how can we assist this student? May you continue to be rewarded with much FAVOR. My children are enjoying the D.O.C. wristbands.

On behalf of the faculty and staff of Cumberland County Public Schools, I extend words of thank you for sharing your powerful message with us, which allowed us to reflect on the true meaning of a teacher. In the midst of legislation and accountability, we sometimes forget the importance of building positive relationships. As teachers we must not forget that "relationships yield results" and 'the tree is in the seed." Children come to us with great possibilities and we must make those dreams and possibilities become a reality by accepting all children "[to ride in our wheelbarrows]."
Your presentation was emotional, clear, informative, meaningful, and timely. The message that you presented was well received by the audience baud I feel confident that it will make a difference in the way we receive and work with our students. I have received numerous comments from staff members indicating that they were moved by your presentation and it was exactly what they need to begin the school year and to implement the new programs (AVID and the Minority Achievement Office).
Your presentation is so powerful and the message that you have is so useful that all educators should be afforded the opportunity to hear and work with you. You are an extraordinary presenter! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and warm personality with our staff.
James Thornton

Finally! An exceptional presentation. An amazing journey that will challenge you to be the person you dreamed you could be. I can't remember the last time a speaker had this type of positive impact on my life. He had major twists that defy expectations while teaching powerful life lessons without patronizing. I was crying one minute and laughing hysterically the next. You can not listen to Adolph without your heart becoming involved.

I just wanted to express to you how wonderful it was to hear you speak (for the second time) at the FCCLA National Leadership Meeting in Orlando, Florida. I can't wait to get your DVD and show it to some of my colleagues at school. Your 'Real Talk' is more beneficial to me than anything has ever been and my students were all very jealous that I got to see you again! I have attached a picture from the conference.

Your program was highly informative and surprisingly entertaining. Your use of humor captivates your audience without sounding ‘preachy.’ Our group is still raving about your performance. Thank you for brilliantly interspersing humor with the real world challenges that underlies many of the barriers to communication and team-building in higher education.
Your motivational presentation was awarded the highest scores on the feedback questionnaires. Some even created an additional category of outstanding. The talk you gave was simply the most uplifting I have ever heard, many people personally found me to tell me that it was a marvelous keynote address to round off our day.

Dr. Brown has been my executive coach for over a period of one year. Because of Dr. Brown's coaching of me, I am a very different executive. I have been able to positively influence change and lead courageously. Our work environment is much more productive and positive, acommodating of different personalities. I am convinced that we would not be where we are today without the help LEAPS consultation and training.

Hilariously funny and brilliantly motivating. I now realize that when you book Doc, you get a top notch motivational speaker, a gifted scholar, and comedian for the price of one.
Refreshingly different and very effective. You get out of breath just watching him. His energy and enthusiasm are utterly infectious.

If you want to reward your employees and staff book Dr. Brown for the meeting. Whatever it takes you need to get him!
Powerful presenter. Intelligent and on target. Definitely not a road show...Adolph speaks from the heart with research to back it up. Extraordinary!
Dr. Adolph Brown is a thoughtful scholar, passionate educator, respected mentor, and valued community leader. He has been and continues to be a warm, witty, and brilliant resource. He has definitely distinguished himself with his creative enthusiasm and caring persona.
Doc was profoundly moving and passionate. Your talk was underscored with an expansive, almost giddy sense of possibility for our students and our profession. You gave such a gift of performance that days later we are still marveling over it. Nothing could have prepared us for such a hypnotic presentation.

It was a spellbinding experience. Your story is not only about the human spirit, it was really about all of us. We all want to see you again.

I have known and worked with Adolph Brown as a consultant and facilitator many times over the past 10 years. What strikes me the most is Adolph's depth of connection with all staff - hard-bitten executives as well as neophyte employees. My team recently used Adolph as a consultant for teambuilding and we always found Adolph to be, foremost, a good listener. He is sensitive to the needs of both the organization and the individuals that comprise it. The improvement in our employees' attitudes and performance is simply stunning.

Many lives were saved and changed by the messages you bring.
What a great motivational speaker you are. I can't remember the last time I have relieved so much stress in one environment. You were sensational. I'm sure that your family (children) will develop as well as you have in your life and time. When I told my family about you and what I said to you they couldn't stop laughing. I would have never believed that it was you but, after I was introduced to you I still did not judge you from what you were wearing. I honestly thought you were a kid just hanging out because you had nothing better to do. I just thought that maybe your mother could have feed you before she put out the banquet food. LOL. Anyways keep doing what you do because you do it so well. Have a blessed day.

...Adolph was thoroughly engaged and completely committed to the consultation he provided for us. People who were previously unhappy and disenfranchised were empowered, charged for positive action, and began taking responsibility for the success of the organization. He brought experience, heart, and wisdom to our division. I would use Adolph again to build any team that I was a part of.

Dr. Brown, many thanks for the marvelous workshops you conduct for us year after year.......The feedback for your seminar was excellent. Your evaluation score was a 5 out of 5.

DON'T WAIT! He is unforgettable!...This was a quote I saw on one of your pages. I couldn't agree more. Dr. Brown, you have no idea how much I enjoyed your presentation. Words can not describe how powerful of a speaker you are. I only wish that everyone I know could have heard what I heard at the Richmond Convention Center. You really reached me on a personal level. My only regret is that I didn't bring a notebook and pen. From the awesome story of how you and your wife met, to your seven wonderful children, to all your stories of obstacles growing up, to the way you talked about your mother, I will never forget it. I've never seen anyone be in a room with young adults, students, teachers, officials, black people, white people, people of all nationalities, and still be able to talk to them all and everyone have the same understanding. It was like we all could relate to you in some form or fashion. I didn't mean to bite your ear off (eyes, considering your reading this). I know your in-box is full of messages just like mine from all over the world. With everything that I said, I basically just wanted to say THANK-YOU. PS May God continue to bless you and your family. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers!

I've heard others say that organizations need an Adolph Brown kind of speaker. It was great to finally meet you. You have the kind of insight that is not retrieved from academics.

prepare these students for a career of service in the health professions arena. Also, thanks for your understanding as we worked through the logistical issues. Your instruction began at that moment!

Your extemporaneous and self-effacing style was magnetic. Adolph has earned the reputation of a "presenter of choice" because he creates a learning environment that is "real." His creativity and passion extend well beyond the walls of the conference hall. You are incredible.

Something may be wrong with Dr. Brown. Why is he always so happy? And since when can psychology professors prescribe their own medications? He always walks with pep in his step and has a kind word for all. Am I working him hard enough? I can't believe he would want to share his messages worldwide. We are thankful for Dr. Brown. He makes learning fun as it should be.

The numerous emails, comments, and phone calls are a testament to the impact you made. I will recommend him to all my friends. He leaves a lasting impression whenever he goes.
You are a GREAT MOTIVATOR! Your message lasts. I have always remembered it since I heard you at Brandon Middle School 6 years ago. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation today. You truly make a positive impact on the lives of others.

As always, Doc makes learning seem fun, and comes across less like an expert and more like an experienced parent sharing the wisdom of raising seven children. He taught us to live with love, humor, and humility. Even as a most respected speaker of our time, to hear his voice was magic.

My sincere thanks for the seminar that taught us all how to practice
love, especially for thy neighbor. Although his talk had many outstanding qualities, love was the distinguishing feature from other remarkable presentations I have seen. I left feeling upbeat as well as a new feeling of "upbuilt." It is my hope that he continues his enlightening talks to bring unity to groups. He is a fine example of high morals and exemplary behavior.

As someone who can be fairly cynical about speakers, I raucously cheered you. You shared an amazing message of hope. It is obvious that you are quite the problem-solver and troubleshooter. You turbo-charged our meeting. We loved your energy and passion. Thank you for showing us how laughter and love of life remains through any trial. Simply great!

Your much needed and well received message was spoken eloquently. You are sharp, funny, and hip, but at dinner the day before your talk we discovered that you are equally serious, sweet, and sincere. One of our educators described you best. She said "Dr. Adolph Brown is what I dreamed I could be." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

2 Days wasn't nearly enough time to absorb the wealth and breath of knowledge you imparted. I have NEVER seen our staff so excited to attend 2 days of lecture. We apologize for the increase of participants on day 2, it appears that the good news of your arrival spread quickly. We look forward to seeing you again later this year. It was time and resources well spent.
