Testimonials

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Adah for being her insightful self yesterday (23rd March 2022) and challenging us all to question and to be more deliberate.

I hugely appreciated her arriving early so that she was able to have greater context of the event and the preceding panels to her presentation. Adah definitely delivered on what we were hoping she would do. She provided a fresh, ‘Nowist’ perspective that the audience really held onto from the feedback post event. I think she fired us all up to really appreciate the opportunity and responsibility we have as communication experts – and to continue to broaden the narratives being created and told.

All we wish for at these annual events is to enthuse everyone, by providing a chance to think differently, out with the day to day detail. Adah did just that.

I had the pleasure of working with Adah on a talk she gave for our team. She impressed us with her knowledge, but what really stood out to me was how she establishes connections across several topics to put together the bigger picture. This provided us with immediate actionable learnings but also lots of food for thought, which is invaluable to truly allow us all to grow.

Adah hosted me in a lively and challenging discussion with BIMA, about the future of humans in an age of intelligent machines. Her grasp of the issues raised in my book Clear Bright Future was thorough and I actually learned stuff about my own work. It was one of those discussions you have to spend days unpacking in your head - and I can't wait to encounter her ideas and expansive imagination again.

Adah helped us to deliver a Team Away Day that we won’t forget! This was our first event as a brand new team and we needed inspiration, fresh thinking and out-of-the-box exercises to get to know each other. Adah came up with some fantastic and unconventional ideas to bring the notion of activism to life through her keynote speech. Additionally, during group activities, she pushed us all to uncover our values and made us reflect on what’s really important to us. Her exercises were truly thought-provoking and as a result we had lots of positive feedback from our team.

Adah, we can’t thank you enough for sharing your powerful stories. It was a pleasure working with you!

During the Uniqlo Tate Late Adah led a round table on 'cyborg shamanism', it was thoughtfully crafted and skilfully facilitated - engaging visitors in dynamic discussions on the future of technology and how it impacts our lives and shapes our experience.

I have learned so much from Adah. She has many qualities but maybe what I have enjoyed most is her genuine curiosity and sense of wonder. Whether we are talking about corporate strategy, and what truly holding space for diversity in the workplace might look like or about the further shores of the constantly shifting relationship between humans and the technology we create, Adah surprises and challenges. I think that willingness to constantly seek out the perspective of others, to be open and yet analytical are rare qualities and Adah embodies them as few people do.

Adah helped us find our path when our studios were at a crossroad. Our business at the time, though going well in terms of numbers, was in fact shadowed by a sense of going in the wrong direction. In an intense and inspiring leadership coaching session with Adah we were able to reflect ourselves and our process, bypass the bullshit, and arrive at clear as crystal decisions that spoke from the heart and resonate positively until today. Adah is like the Maria Montessori of coaching, she helped us to help ourselves, with lots of dedication, warmth and purposeful care.

The buzz in the room was palpable during our #NT100is5 panel discussion, and there’s no doubt it was enhanced by Adah’s energy and passion. Her insights into the future of tech, business and humanity have been a valuable addition to our podcast series Our Lives + Tech.

Adah Parris has been pivotal in helping us ask ourselves important questions as individuals, teams and of the projects we're developing. As a result, we've been able to step forward with greater awareness and clarity and our projects have been made much stronger and  dynamic.

Gaylene Gould, ex-Head of Cinema and Events, BFI Southbank.

We approached Adah to explore both company brand positioning and personal branding for our fundraising team. It was an invaluable experience and we now use many of her tips and tools to grow our external positioning.

Jonathan Keeling, Head of Partnerships at Crowdcube.

Adah is a delight. Her energy and enthusiasm are matched only by her knowledge and intellect and she possesses that enviable attribute to truly engage an audience. Her presentations weave useful, salient points throughout a highly personal narrative meaning delegates always leave with something. That she’s super organised and knows just about everyone is simply a bonus!
