DeMoine Adams is ALL HEART! DeMoine kicked off our first day of school with pure excitement and passion. DeMoine truly cares about the kids, and his passion exudes each time he speaks. He also gave a presentation to our staff about 'Heart' Work and even our staff were inspired to become more compassionate educators. DeMoine makes lasting connections with students and staff. If you are looking for someone to truly make a positive impact, DeMoine is your guy!

DeMo was a 'game' changer! He was inspiring, smart, competitive to change the minds of others, dedicated to being the leader he is today. His words were powerful in a sense that you can't help but want to change and help the people around you. His talk was very intentional and meant to challenge your brain and perceive your thinking. He is very passionate to make a difference, and he was entertaining from the moment he walked in to the time he walked out. There is NO ONE like DeMo and I want to see him back!!!!

DeMoine Adams is amazing! He spoke at Northeast Community College to a large group of TRIO-SSS students at our Fall Semester Kick-Off event. Every moment of his time speaking with our students was delivered in a dynamic and inspirational manner. he has the uncanny ability to make every person in the room feel as though he is speaking directly to them. DeMoine tailored his dialogue seamlessly to speak directly to the challenges and struggles that this population of students will face in college. With his background being vastly similar to theirs, he was able to speak genuinely and deliver a message of how he has overcome difficulties and experienced success in higher education, and how they can too. Our students and staff left his speech excited, full of positivity, and motivated to be successful. I would sincerely recommend DeMoine to anyone looking for a passionate speaker!

Thank you for taking time away from your family and sharing a powerful message. I was impressed with your personal story and the words of influence and impacting those in Lincoln. You are a gifted speaker! Your presentation made an impact!

DeMoine shared an incredibly powerful and inspirational message with our 5th - 12th grade students. Students were encouraged to "Bring their A Game" and put their "Heart over the Hype" when it comes to daily social pressures. He did an excellent job of capturing our students attention, making positive connections with them, and focusing in on what it means to be a leader and have good character. I would highly recommend bringing DeMoine to your school district to share his energetic message with your students and staff.

“DeMoine is a powerful and world-class motivational speaker! He can engage an audience for a few minutes or a few hours and leave them feeling energized. He makes his presentations fun and he really takes the time to get to know the audience he is speaking for and is professional to work with from the start of a project to the end. He has something to say to every age group!” “DeMoine was the Keynote Speaker for our Annual Chamber Banquet. On the day of the banquet, he gave 3 school presentations in the morning and turned around and spoke to a room of 500 business leaders in the evening. He was outstanding to work with and I would highly recommend him to speak for any age group or event.”

"Anyone that works with teenagers knows how difficult it can be to plan activities and speakers that will grab their attention, keep it, and have them walk away having learned something about themselves or been touched by the words of the one speaking. Problem solved!!! DeMoine Adams is that speaker. He is dynamic and passionate about his message and because it is personal it reaches teenagers and connects to them. We have DeMoine speak to both our juniors and seniors at two different times of the year and he will adjust his topic to meet our needs. DeMoine is energetic, considerate, thoughtful and because of his personal experiences the message comes across that he cares about the students and their lives and choices. When you need inspiration/motivation for your students, DeMoine Adams is what you need."

"For years high school administrators have struggled with leadership development in our schools. The ECNC conference championed, the first ever LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE to provide high school students the opportunity to hear guest speakers and participate in leadership activities. Our keynote speaker, Demoine Adams, provided a motivating in your face message that challenged our conference attendees. His stories and insights about leading by example, defensive leadership, and developing LEADERSHIP SHAPE was spot on! Students were engaged and came away with a broader understanding of what it takes to be a leader and how to step up and take a stand. His frank perspectives about life choices and how to deal with the associated peer pressures created an exceptional growth opportunity. Demo Man ---- IS THE MAN! Thanks for the lasting impressions on our young leaders".

"DeMoine Adams's isn't just another speaker "talking" about the importance of having a solid game plane....He's the epitome of his message! As a former Standout collegiate and Pro Athlete, he understands first hand the importance of having a Solid Game Plan both personally & professionally. More impressive than his football credentials are his dedication to education having received his Masters and working on his PhD! I recommend him without reservation"!

"Hershey Public Schools has been honored to have DeMoine Adams speak on multiple occasions, from NeSA pep rallies to back-to-school rallies. He connects with kids of all ages, from Kindergarten through 12th Grade. His high energy messages speak to the heart of each student and are extremely motivating. DeMoine radiates positive energy and emotion throughout the audience, he encourages the students to set academic and personal goals and challenges them to better themselves each day. His ability to engage the students and relate with them is simply amazing. I enjoyed seeing the students' eyes light up with each time he interacted with them. I would highly recommend him to speak at your school. Your students, teachers, and parents will love his message. He is one of the best! "

"We have had many speakers over the years, Demoine by far has been the most inspirational - along with " take it back and use philosophies"! Our whole management team of 55 + people left with a new sense of unity & purpose. It was unanimous with our team " Demoine was the best ever. I have heard Lou Holtz ( in his prime), Terry Bradshaw, numerous Covey speakers, etc - I mean it when I said you have been the best! We would love to work with DeMoine again".

"D’Mo Adams brings that absolute “Wow!” factor to his presentations! Students primary through high school will enjoy music, physical movement, positive energy, and his physical presence as they are encouraged to combine hard work and teamwork as the bones to support the muscle of personal and school-wide achievement."
Darron Arlt
Superintendent, Pawnee City Schools (NE)
We had DeMoine Adams came speak to our 7th through 12th-grade students on Bullying. DeMoine used a Football theme and references to get his point across that “Bullying” was not acceptable “IN THIS HOUSE” and as a school (students and staff alike) we need to “tackle bullying” by 1) Standing up to “Bullying” 2) Stepping up to “Bullying” and 3) Teaming up against “Bullying.” DeMoine did a good job of involving students and staff in his presentation and sent a very good message that “Bullying” will not be allowed, “IN THIS HOUSE.” The assembly lasted for about 50 minutes where DeMoine wrapped it up with a question/answer session and took the time to have students take pictures with him at the end.

"As the keynote speaker at our MarkeTECH conference, DeMoine Adams inspired our attendees, helping them harness their potential and pumping them up for even more learning in the afternoon. When it comes to energy and passion, DeMoine brings his A-game. It's infectious! And every business owner needs to hear his story. Motivation and inspiration couldn't be shared in a better way."

"What a true dynamo! Our students were at full attention to the motivating messages of DeMoine Adams. His personal stories of challenge and what it takes to overcome them send an excellent message of 'NO Excuses!' and 'YOU Determine YOUR Destiny'."
