Why Should You Choose Wally Adamchik?

Real world experience

You don't get academic solutions that work only in the classroom. You get proven solutions that actually work in the real world.

Passion for my subject

I get excited talking about this stuff and your people will get excited listening to me. As an opener to set the tone, a closer to punctuate the entire meeting, or during your meeting to make it meaty, I raise the energy level of everyone in the room. People leave with an increased commitment to meeting organizational goals.

Compassion for the audience

I have suffered through too many bad presentations in my life, and I know what it feels like for bright, active people to sit in a room that feels like it is devoid of oxygen. My presentations are not about me; they are about the listeners. They recognize that and respond with positive action, which brings about higher levels of achievement.

Whatever it takes

I work for you. I embrace your challenges as if they were my own and invest all of myself in the outcome.

You can relax when you choose me

I appreciate your confidence and recognize your investment in direct and indirect costs to conduct our sessions.

Humility

I admit that I love to speak, but you don't get ego with me. You get a down-to-earth, fun-loving professional who is genuinely concerned for your group.

Confidence

I am quietly confident because of the knowledge that I've faced challenges and beaten them. I don't boast about my life. I call on some truly unique experiences to illustrate points to the audience. They understand this and we share in the learning.

Service after the sale

I often communicate with audience members long after a presentation, to offer pointers and suggestions for ongoing improvement. We develop custom follow-up material to reinforce concepts covered in the presentation. This drives up retention, which drives up your return on investment.

Continuous improvement

I keep learning every day. I read daily about my subject areas, regularly interview industry experts to remain current, and am always refining my presentation skills.

In a nutshell

I successfully led in the Marines, and later in business, by establishing credibility with people early on, and maintaining it daily. I treat people with respect and give them a standard to live up to. My associates trust me to deliver, and I do. My top priority as a leader was, and is, to help my people succeed. It is also my top priority as your speaker/consultant--to help your people succeed and to make your organization more successful.
