What Others Are Saying
Don’t just take it from me, let these powerful voices do the talking!
As a District Administrator in the Coquitlam School District, I come across many people who can connect with youth. Most are teachers, support staff and sometimes volunteers, but only a few are guest speakers – Adrian Starks is one of those people.
Adrian is an outstanding motivational speaker who inspires youth to embrace change and be the best they can be. His genuine nature and myriad of personal stories allow him to connect with his audience and leave a lasting impression. Adrian has a gift of being able to reflect on his life and acknowledge the significant people who made a difference for him. He models gratitude, humility and an authentic way of being, and in doing so encourages youth to see the champion in themselves and the adults supporting them.
Adrian’s tag line, “Champion Up” is not only catchy, but is a testament to who Adrian is and his commitment in making a difference in the world. His quotes and anecdotes not only entertain his audiences but make a profound impact. We truly need more people like Adrian Starks sharing their message with our youth. I highly recommend inviting Adrian into your school community.
On Behalf of APASS Education Group, it is our pleasure to offer our unreserved recommendation for Adrian Starks to serve as the keynote public speaker for any future event, conference, or educational opportunity.

Adrian Starks truly impressed me with his professionalism, courtesy and well put together interview. I am interviewed quite often and it was obvious that he did his research and came well prepared. He has an extraordinary ability to lead a conversation while asking profound questions and it is evident of his expertise in his domain.
His unique style and approach is more than just asking questions. He understands the art of communication and provided the space for me to speak openly and thoroughly to the audience.
