POWERFUL,

ACTIONABLE,

UNCOMPROMISING.

Hi, I’m Adi.

Since my first speech before UNICEF officials 20+ years ago, I’ve been privileged to tell inspiring stories and passionately motivate, teach, and engage remarkable people and audiences of all sizes.

Whether you’re hoping to motivate a team of managers or a cohort of ambitious students or excite an entire auditorium, I will not only inspire and energize them but also empower them with actionable insights and tools they need for transformation.

On the planning front, I will be your enthusiastic, accommodating, and fun partner in custom-designing and delivering a memorable event.

7 REASONS TO ENGAGE ADI

ADI’S SIGNATURE TOPICS

Browse our signature topics or let's work together to design one specifically for you, your audience, your needs and your goals.

  • You may think you don’t have what it takes–for success, relationships, or happiness. Or worse, that you’re not destined to have it all.

    But what if you are wrong?

    What if you can have it all?

    If you’re right, then great – stop reading.

    But – if you’re willing to entertain the idea that you may be wrong, you’re in for a treat.

    Consider this:

    • 95% of our mind’s activity is unconscious. This means that almost all our beliefs, emotions, and behaviors, including our daily decisions and actions, are directed from the activity beyond our awareness – by the “unconscious mind.”

    • 90% of that unconscious mind was programmed in the first seven years of our life.

    • Humans seek pleasure and avoid pain at all costs.

    • Our mind operates in a patterned fashion, seeking to replicate the familiar and reject the unknown. This is why change is so complex: our mind may perceive a positive change as more painful than not changing – sticking with “a devil it knows.”

    What does this mean for us?

    Before you can become who you’re meant to be, you must unlearn who you’ve been.

    After this groundbreaking program, you will find yourself empowered and inspired at a precipice of a new stage in your life. You will also discover that you genuinely are unstoppable.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Learn the mechanics of your mind.

    • Understand how your beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and actions work together – and how to change them.

    • Discover why you ruminate when anxious, why you can’t focus, and why you struggle to create new habits – and how to do it better.

    • Identify your emotional world, practice awareness, and use both for change.

    • Gain practical tools to disrupt your old patterns and reprogram them.

    • Set new goals of who you want to become, what you want, and where you want to go.

  • YOU ARE GOOD: Turning flaws into gifts, not enough into good enough, and self-loathing into self-love.

    You don’t really hate yourself, but you might hate not being yourself.

    To be yourself, however, comes with a risk of rejection and abandonment. To our limbic brain, this is tantamount to death. So it stands to reason that not being yourself is safer, therefore, better.

    Is it?

    If so, then we are back to self-hatred – a far cry from where we really want to be: love.

    So can we love ourselves, be ourselves, and gain acceptance and love from others, too?

    In this deeply personal, insightful, inspiring, and transformative program, you will discover a “key” that will take you through the door to radical self-acceptance, empathy, self-love, and empowering freedom to change by becoming more of who you truly are, letting go of who you are not, and going after all the things in life you really want and care about.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Discover the “key” to accepting and loving yourself just as you are.

    • Uncover why your core uniqueness is a gift rather than a flaw and why being more of who you are is your natural and winning advantage.

    • Experience feelings of tranquility, acceptance, and affection.

    • Get inspired, motivated, and empowered to build your life from the inside out.

    • Learn concrete ways to practice these lessons and nurture and care for yourself.

  • WHAT’S YOUR ADITUDE? Seven attitudes that will change you and your life.

    It’s no secret that the right attitude is half the battle. But what is the right attitude?

    Can our attitude defy the odds? Can it overcome barriers? What about performance?

    Can we make money with it?

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    In this insightful, empowering program, you will uncover what the right attitude does to your psyche and how it directly impacts your goals, experiences, and well-being.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Uncover the power of attitude.

    • Recognize the ways in which your old attitudes have been limiting or sabotaging you.

    • Understand the mechanisms within your mind necessary to replace old attitudes with new ones.

    • Identify two of your primary attitudes, and commit to living your life according to them.

    • Get inspired and motivated to change your life with your newfound attitudes.

    • Learn new habits to advance positive changes in your life further.

  • ENTREPLOYMENT™: How to cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship to drive innovation, loyalty, and team performance.

    You’ve heard of talented entrepreneurs who disrupt industries. Maybe you’re one of them. But have you ever wondered how far you could go if your entire team felt entrepreneurial about their jobs?

    Most of the groundbreaking innovations over the past 100 years resulted from people’s feelings of ownership, belonging, and freedom to create, improve, and solve problems – even as they failed in the process.

    We know this. But now we also know how to cultivate the power of entrepreneurship within the framework of a “traditional job” to drive the same outcomes. In fact, the structures, when properly designed, can serve as supporting elements that produce results instead of stifling creativity.

    When Adi first introduced this topic back in 2018, people called some of his ideas–like hybrid-style working arrangements that tap into people’s natural work styles–“outlandish” and downright “impossible.”

    In the intervening years, however, the guidance from Entreployment™ has only become more relevant, needed, and impactful.

    It’s the future.

    And since the future is here, let’s find out just how far you and your team can go.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Distinguish what entrepreneurship is and what it is not.

    • Learn what drives most innovative entrepreneurs and how it relates to you.

    • Discover the single most important ingredient that all successful entrepreneurs have (no, it’s not risk-taking).

    • Understand what motivates and what discourages engagement, loyalty, and performance at the unconscious level.

    • Identify specific steps to build a successful entrepreneurial culture.

    • Define your team’s own “Entreployment Commandments.”

    • Be inspired, uplifted, and energized for a new level of success.

  • COURAGE TO LEAD What truly courageous leaders do differently to inspire, empower, and lead transformational change – and how you can do it, too.

    If you’ve ever aspired to leadership or even found yourself in a leadership role that you never asked for, you may have wondered how to leave an indelible mark on your people, the organizations you’re a part of, and your community.

    You may have also doubted your ability to get there.

    In this inspiring conversation, you will meet several remarkable leaders – some well-known and others less so – who will, through their exemplary stories of grit, vision, and fortitude, introduce you to a new understanding of leadership.

    In turn, this new courageous leadership paradigm will reveal a set of guiding principles and actions that are unfailingly and uncompromisingly essential to inspiring, empowering, and leading transformational change.

    As you will see, some of them are counterintuitive.

    Others are obvious.

    The best part: you can nurture them all.

    Transformational leadership is simpler than it seems, and this program will show you how to achieve it.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand what leadership is and what it isn’t.

    • Meet fascinating leaders from the past, and learn from them.

    • Learn to recognize daily opportunities to lead.

    • Discover a blueprint for becoming a transformational leader.

    • Dispel myths regarding leadership.

    • Explore unconventional ways to connect and lead.

  • COURAGE TO INCLUDE: What true inclusion looks like, why it will benefit you, and how to do it right.

    We all want to be included and feel like we belong. It’s in our DNA. Yet, many of us have missed the mark in including those different from us, especially when we perceive them as far removed from where we are.

    Why is that?

    What drives our resistance to include others? What motivates inclusion?

    Is it even possible to include people with whom we vehemently disagree?

    The short answer is: it’s not only possible; it’s necessary.

    We just have to do it better – and differently.

    In this program, we will rumble with uncomfortable but crucial conversations surrounding diversity and equity and explore what true inclusivity means and how to nurture it in our teams, organizations, and beyond.

    It’s not a comfortable conversation, but it will be meaningful – and rewarding.

    The only way forward is through.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explore how inclusion and diversity benefit you directly.

    • Understand the conscious and unconscious causes of our struggle to be fully inclusive.

    • Learn strategies to be inclusive even when you feel uninformed or uncomfortable.

    • Discover communication techniques that make others feel comfortable and seen.

    • Go beyond the predictable diversity topics into deeper, more penetrating ones.

    • Learn to recognize daily opportunities to be inclusive.

    • Embrace empowering tools to help you nurture equity, diversity, and inclusion.

  • We all have the power to choose calm in the midst of chaos, soothe our anxieties, relax rumination, and defuse tension — and, in this program, you will learn how to access that power.

    Built on the lessons from Adi’s Zen master and over 20 years of studying Buddhism, psychology, neuroscience, as well as personal healing of PTSD and anxiety, this workshop will open new doors for you to understand your psyche, gain hands-on tools to manage your emotions, and nurturing internal calmness, acceptance, and equanimity.

  • “Adi is a dynamic speaker and a master storyteller.”

    — Farhad Parhami, Ph.D., M.B.A. | President & CEO, MAX BioPharma Inc.
