What People Are Saying…

“Adam is a genuine Coach who is generous with his time and energy. Not only was he sincere, enthusiastic, and passionate, but Adam was also very knowledgeable about the veteran experience and the skills we have to offer a civilian employer.”

“Adam is a godsend. First, if you’re nervous about reaching out to a Coach or you’ve never engaged in this sort of exchange, Adam will put you at ease by just talking to you…as if you’ve known each other for years.”

“As a leader in my community and business owner for over 20 years, it has been my passion to grow as a leader, father, and business owner. I have been to countless “big name” coaches and authors, to further my growth. However, being coached and supported by Adam Van Dyke has been a life changing journey. The amount of time and care that Adam has provided me, my business and colleagues alike, is monumental. I’m honored to call myself a product of our coaching partnership. It has truly been life altering and the amount of success I’ve had as a result is beyond measure!”

“Adam’s coaching skills are second to none; his passion and honed excellence at this craft is made immediately obvious within the first few minutes of the call. Adam is supportive, resourceful, and strategic.”

“My coaching experience with Adam has been nothing short of amazing. From the times I go in knowing exactly what I want to sort out, to the times when I’m unable to even form a sentence that makes sense – he masterfully navigates through my whirlwind of emotions and scenarios that leaves me feeling much lighter with comfort of knowing how to move forward. He’s easy to talk to and easy to connect with. I’m grateful my path has crossed with him. I can’t speak of him highly enough.”

“The growth I have experienced has created momentum not only in my professional life but in all aspects of life.  Adam is truly genuine, and his calm presence makes for a safe place to grow and learn.  I feel empowered after every session – the solutions are not given to me but are flowed through me.”
