The Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce honored Kate Adamson as our Heart and Soul recipient. She spoke to our audience of over 600 people at the Manhattan Beach Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Conference. She was not a wonderful speaker, touching the heart of every person in the room. Kate is an amazing person and an amazing presenter for any type of event. If you want someone to motivate your attendees to know you can overcome anything that is thrown your way, Ms. Adamson is the one to do it. If you want them to laugh, Kate is the one. If you want them to cry, Kate is the one. If you want them to think, Kate is the one. Kate Adamson makes you grateful for what you have and I proud to know her. |

Your visit to Erie, PA affected so many lives within the medical community as well as the general public. I received such positive feedback to your presentations. You were professional, genuine and appealing to all. The presentation you shared with the 500 women at Hamot’s Healthy Women Seminar was spectacular! Your informal meeting with the stroke group was fabulous! The same message of spiritual intervention met our medical community as well. There are times in medical treatment where a reliance on an individual’s faith is inadvertently sidelined. Comments I received from the medical conference evaluation forms included some of the following. “The speaker has phenomenal strength and courage” “what a moving and motivational speaker!” “Very good for health care professionals to hear such a realistic and patient view.” “Excellent – tough act to follow!” Medical professionals really do benefit from reality, not just research.” |
