| Hi Doc Brown!
I saw your presentation on Oct. 28 and it was awesome!!! You are so awesome and motivating!
|
| thank you for coming |
| thank you |
| You acually interacted with us and was really fun. You understood us in a lot of different ways. You had a lot of energy and was really funny. I also liked th way you used music to actually let us understand more of your presentation. You are now one of my personal heroes. My school, Brandon Middle School, is very proud of you, especially Dr. Rogers. |
| You were different from any other speaker we have ever had. You made a positive difference in my life and the lives of my colleagues. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me after your seminar. I have never met anyone who has gone through so much. I think your message hit home with everyone. You are indeed a hero. -Kat |
| We loved your openness, energy, and optimism. The way you provided us strategies for sustaining our success was brilliant. Our supervisor described you as an "observational genuis." She said you were akin to an inspirational "Dr. House" played by Hugh Laurie. She spoke about 20 minutes in our staffing the following week about your bluntness and daring, yet effective persona. -Carey Lindsay, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical |
| I really enjoy you yesterday i will never forget you

| The quality of your seminar was second to none. The seminar content was substantive, which I appreciated at this stage in my management career. You were so easy to listen to, so informative, and gave numerous strategies to alleviate stress and resolve conflicts. I loved your use of experiences and wonderful sense of humor. You are the best presenter most of us have ever seen during our training seminars. Thanks for the indispensable tools to succeed. Just an outstanding seminar! - Suzanne, Lawson Realty Corporation |

| I'm not eating any more apples because the saying is 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Doc Brown you cannot be kept away. Thanks for your presentation at the 49th National Convention of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority held in Orlando in July. I'm an avid Doc Fan! |
| It was a great pleasure meeting you at the Ted and Roberta Mann Conference. Tell your son I tried "hard" to get his yellow hoodie, it really did look nice! Here is the name of my book that is being used in new educator and new social workers classes at Augsburg University and Metropolitan State University. If and when you read it ....could you put in a good work to Oprah's show?
If you have not had the time to get and read my book here is an internet site which will allow you to see into what we have had to endure for public education....just our experience..
Again thank you and your assistant for opening the eyes of the people at our conference. I have sent your contact information along to many many people and on all of the list serves I am currently on. And I would love to put your posters on tee shirts soon with your permission and paying you for each one. -Bonnie Jean Smith :-)

| Wow! Doc Brown! You are truly amazing! I was in the crowd a few mins ago at your presentation at USC Upstate, and I must say that you are one of a kind! I've never seen anyone like you! You are an excellent speaker! I told my friends that if I had a professor like you ever morning I woke up I wouldnt have a single problem waking up to go to class! You truly changed my life and my outlook on higher education! May God bless you, and make he keep you! -Brandon Watkins, USC Upstate |
| hope this message finds you well. I would like to state how much your presentation had an impact on me. As a reminder, you were the keynote speaker for the Coachella Valley Unified School District on August 28, 2008. If you recall, I spoke to you briefly before the event and you were kind enough to give me your business card. I am the Principal of Valle Del Sol Elementary School in Coachella. I was in the crowd, in the yellow shirt, sitting in a cart on the floor of the gym. I have been the leader of this establishment for four years. Childern are what define me. On a personel note, like your daughter, I also have CP. I have two beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband. In closing, please keep in touch and I hope you come our way again.-Catherine Loy, Principal |
| Thank you Thank you for those wonderful inspiring words. We are the only school in our district who didn't achieve our goal and you truly inspired us to not give up and continue. We will always remember that a step down is a means for a comeback. Again thanks for coming out to the wonderful heat in Coachella. |
| Hey Adolph, if a picture is worth a thousand words, you are high-definition!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been to lots of speaking and presentation seminars and you are by far the best. Thanks for the encouragement. Aiming HIGHER! Joseph Raimes, NAPA |
| I had heard so much brouhaha about you and you did not disappoint! You were the anwer! It must be nice to make a living doing what you live for. -Shana, Palm Springs, California |
| You were awesome! I was the teacher dancing in yellow near the top of the bleachers!! You rock!! I will always be a looking for students and using my wheel barrow. I am glad my principal spoke to you. Thanks for all your positive work with humankind. |
| I really enjoyed your message at the Fort Worth ISD Convocation. I'm going into my second year of teaching, and your message encouraged me to continue to teach EVERY student not pick and choose as I have observed in my first year. |
| You inspired me to be a better person today than I was yesterday. And to keep doing that every day. I haven't smiled and laughed genuinely for a really long time. Thank you for that.
Lori S. |
| i was SOOOOO impressed with you ... you dont know how much i enjoyed listening to you yesterday, im teacher with FWISD who teaches special ed... you know what??? you hit it!!!... i wrote myself a letter to 'remind' me of what im going to do .. and in a few months i will open it up and see if i've actually done something about it ... and when i'm down ... i plan to read that letter i wrote myself, that YOU inspired me to write ... thank you so much ... take care and God speed! |
| Hey Doc,
I'm a Physical Education teacher in the Fort Worth ISD (Texas) and I just heard you speak today.You were amazing. We all went back to the school and we were on fire. All the teachers were ready to rock-n-roll and our principal was pumped up and headed out to tackle the world.
I loved it when you said "real talk". We are teaching kids and we need to get to their level. I hated school when I was a kid and was told that I wasn't college material and wouldn't amount to anything. Well,I made and now who's laughing???
One last thing and then I shut up.I want to thank you for mentioning children with special needs. My four year old son, Avery was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism and it broke my heart when I was told. Listening to you talk about your daughter, hit me right between the eyes. I have spent so much time making sure no one messes with him or gives him any lip, that I'm not giving him the attention he needs. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Gotta go, Avery is being Avery.
Doc, you rock!

| WOW! That's all that I could say about you, I am also an employee with FWISD too. I was so impressed with the things that you've said today about educating our students, parenting and accountability. Thank you for sharing your knowlegde and your humor. Now I am ready for my students! |
| Thank you for visiting us in the FWISD and thank you five times over for sending the message that we are all responsible for what happens to our students. Too often we shy away from what we fear, when in reality we have nothing to fear but our own failures and shortcomings as human beings, not just as teachers. I, too, had a bus driver who took the scenic route. Your words were true and you raised the bar on accountability. Thanks, Doc!!! May you continue your work with the same zeal and fervor you shared with us; we will be a better people for it. |
| WOW! Until you walked on the stage..I had just nudged the person next to me to wake me if I start snoring! That was impossible! You were so engaging and whether you know it or not I was having a really bad day and as soon as I walked out of the auditorium I felt lile I was closer to God than ever. The way you read me...was amazing! I needed that hug. It totally changed my day and perspective on life! Thank you, thank you, thank you! |
| I love being inspired to be a better person. I've been a teacher for 5 years and I've been to many seminars and workshops. Your seminar today in Duncanville ISD was THE BEST I've ever heard! It inspired me to be a better teacher as well as a better person. You really don't know how "on time" our message was because God has been doing a new thing in my for the last few months and your message served as added inspiration and encouragement. Thank you!! |
| For the first time in 12 years in Duncanville I ENJOYED the convocation speaker! And you are spot-on: relationships are the key! I have the unfortunate position of having a son who suffered through his third grade year with a "basement" teacher and now that he's a Senior in high school I am still working to 'recover' him. I guess I've always enjoyed the challenge of trying to reach the "unwanted" and the results are great when it works. I have only one request: teach the parents to not get so angry when we as educators take it upon ourselves to teach etiquette, grammar, and general social skills. That's a tough one. We are perceived as stepping over the line by some. I just want to see them all "get it" and succeed. Thanks for being so fabulous today. Kathie Garrett |
| You were so fantastic today in Duncanville! I learned so much from you and I can not tell you how grateful I am to have gotten to listen to you today. I feel so energized about this year of teaching not only my students, but my children as well. My son and I came up with a "Turning My Boy Into a Man Plan". I know nothing is accomplished overnight, but were going to work on his future success together and I want to thank you for motivating me. He's throwing his shoe under his bed as we speak. I can't wait to join your fan club. I'm hooked! Latoya Wimbley-Dunbar, kindergarten teacher & mom of two, Duncanville, TX |
| You brought exactly what Vaniece said you would bring, "The Wow!" The day you spoke we had our highest attendance to date. Thank you for your thoughts and servant-honoring comedy that every audience can believe in. -Gina & Corey Hines |
| Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks. After only 5 minutes of hearing you, I knew I struck gold. Most fun and information i have ever received from one person. -Andrew Manning |
| I was one of Dr. Adolph Brown's former university students. As an unproven student I learned the most from this professor who wasn't afraid to tell the truth. Now, as an integral member of the corporate world, I have grown to respect even more the tough-minded, unsparing, yet ultimately inspirational instruction I received from Dr. Adolph Brown. I will also follow-up with a letter to your office. I would love for our families to meet. -Mimi Olson, Class of 1996 |
| Doc says the tough things that most only think about or are not courageous enough to say. I appreciate both your knowledge and candor. REAL TALK! :-) |
| Sweet! Whoa..I got jetlag watching you.... and I never left the ground! I emailed the photos of the group piks taken at the Golden Dome.
-Stephen, Sophomore, University of Notre Dame.

| Good Stuff! Good is actually an understatement. I literally LMAO!
Ted & Roberta Mann Foundation Symposium |
| Dr. Brown,
I attended your speech this morning for Hampton School District One and very moved by you. I started out in the school system as a Paraprofessional with Pre-K. Young children have been my passion for a very long time. Inour district, paraprofessionals are required to obtain a CDL to be substitute bus drivers. I was unable to obtain mine due to poor eye-sight. I was transfered to the cafeteria at our Middle School. I have not had a very good transition. I miss the children and feel that my work as " a cook " is very unrewarding. Thank you for the motivation to return to work as "a cook" this school term!!!!!
Mrs. Ginn |
| Awesome! More please! NDST Conference |
| My second time seeing him. Adolph always give so much more! Absolutely spectacular! -Ray Watson |
| What a dynamic speaker! What a wonderful start to a new school year. Very inspiring and REAL! |
| Oh MY gosh! You gotta see this guy! We were blown away with his message, energy, and knowledge. Oh my gosh! --Sabrina, Delta Sigma Theta '08 |
| Dr. Brown,
You spoke at our New Teacher Orientation in Bartow County, Georgia
today. This was my 2nd time hearing you and the message never gets old.
Today I knew what was coming when you meandered around during opening
remarks. I enjoyed watching others and seeing how they reacted to you.
For those of us who are in education for the RIGHT reason, your message
sings to us. Others will hopefully learn from you. Some may not even
be aware that they don't understand.
I wanted to thank you for taking time with our new teachers today. I
hope they carry your thoughts, advice and lessons throughout their
career.
Thank you again for your time with Bartow County. Your presentation
will be the talk of the town for awhile :)
Sincerely,
Melissa Zarefoss

| Thanks for "making it happen" in Greensboro. It was a magical session with you. -John Strait, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction |
| Dr. Adolph Brownis a smart and funny man! Brown is a forward-thinking, creative, and hands-on presenter. We really look forward to working with him again. -Sam, Jacksonville, N.C. |
| No matter how long you teach, you'll never see a more exciting speaker! Dr. Brown also thorougly and insightfully answered an onslaught of questions from the audience during our Q&A as he shared brilliant strategies for life success. He is a must see! An educator shouldn't admit to never having heard of Dr. Adolph Brown before. -Cherelle Joseph, Nat'l Assoc. of School Boards |
| MARVELOUS presentation at 2008 National Leadership Meeting: Excellence Electrified, FCCLA: The Ultimate Leadership Experience. Moreso, meeting Dr. Brown personally was the hi-light for my group. He is a speaker who I've admired from a distance over the years, but have never known much about. After meeting him at the book signing we found him to be as down-to-earth and funny as I had imagined he might be. It's obvious that this scholar has not let all of his many accolades go to his head. One of my colleagues described him as a presenter with "downright likability," and I agree. Thanks much. Brittany, Alaska FCCLA

| It was instruction and entertainment at its BEST! Thanks for helping us solve the age old problem of how to get motivated and stay motivated. It was certainly a "Quality Professional Development Program." -Justin, Princeton University |
| Your life story of your personal transformation left me ready to face my own life's challenges. You are the real thing.-Jameka Rice, JMU |
| "Dr Adolph Brown III is one of the absolute best speakers, educators, and entertainers on the planet!"
-- Patrick Snow, best-selling author of Creating Your Own Destiny |
| Our first evening certainly ended on a high and led nicely into our second day when most of our presenters even changed their presentations at the last minute (myself included!) to incorporate elements of your speech – you certainly made an lasting impression. Certain speakers can not be followed and you are one of those speakers. – Greg Nichols, Jr., Maryland State Department of Education
|
| You incorporated our Vision and Values extremely well, and linked it perfectly with our future goals. –David Simmons, Monrovia Unified |
| The expression "It’s Gonna Be A Great Day!” is well established now in our day to day vocabulary. Many thanks for your invigorating and inspirational speech to our Administrative Team of Senior Managers at our Conference. Everyone is still talking about your after dinner speech and “Staying in The Balcony” is quickly becoming one of the most frequently heard sayings within our District. –Robin Schwartz, IKEA |
| You totally framed our issues in a whole new light. Thanks for waking us up to the power of relationship building. We need to hear more, lest we fall asleep again. The best summer retreat since my hire over 25 years ago. Cheryl, NC Elementary School Teacher |
| I was in Pittsburgh several weeks ago and heard Dr. Brown speak to 800 people at the 15th Annual Family Support Conference organized by the Office of Child Development, with the University of Pittsburgh. Doris Dick was the organizer. Frankly Ms. Hickman, I have been in the field since 1981 and have attended my share of conferences in that 27 year span. I will unabashedly say that Dr. Brown was absolutely, BY FAR, the best speaker I have seen in my career!! If there would have been nothing else at the conference except our time with Dr. Brown, it was worth my trip to Pittsburgh….. I came back to Tampa and told my boss, Sheila Sorkin, that somehow, some way we MUST get Dr. Brown to Tampa in our next contract year. Specifically we are looking at a date in 2009 sometime between Mother’s and Father’s Day. Further discussion needed! -Mike Cornelius, MS, Tampa, FL |
| Adolph is as much a performer and entertainer as he is a learned speaker. He hits all the points in one stroke. -Larry |
| You were the hit of our conference's 11 speakers. You recognize that it is about 'people.' Thank you for helping us achieve our goals while creating a lasting friendship. I will be forever grateful for your statement "Everyone has the potential to find their place of greatest possibility." We welcome you back any time. -Christopher Stalks |
| Liked the use of humor, but loved your
ability to make us think critically about ourselves and our profession. Thanks for helping us to think positively and behave excellently. -Tyndale Kraus |
| Dr. Adolph Brown was awesome to in Huntsville Alabama. As a speaker he engaged his audience and kept them on the edges of their seats. Even made a few fall out of their seats with laughter. He motivated future teachers and educators of this world to stand up and really learn, love and care for their students. WOW...imagine if every teacher had that lesson...there would be no child, parent, of school system left behind! - Katina L. Walton, Alabama A&M University |
| Dr. Brown,
My name is Alicia Moore and I attended the AIDS awareness program at the Jubilee center in Lynchburg VA. I just wanted to thank you for that motivational speech that you gave, and I especially appreciated when you said that there is nothing wrong with being smart. I have been in the gifted program since elementary school, and now I attend the Central Virginia Governor's school for math and science. Throughout my years of being in the gifted program I have been one of the few African American applying in school. It kind of hurts to see my own people not trying or not even carrying about their education and the amount of power the knowledge holds. I hope that you come and visit Lynchburg from time to time. Thanks for taking the time out to read this e-mail and may God continue to bless you and your family. Chaynel |
| Just a note to say thank you for your keynote at the KYCSACC
Conference on 3/15/08. We talked about you all day long.
Would love for you to talk to the kids around here.
Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS

| Your talk in South Carolina was ground-breaking and earth-shattering. The information and research you shared was very focused, relevant, and yet unassuming. Thanks for the laughs and hilarious message. I purchased DVD's for my entire staff. -Claudia Dayla Stolley |
| I saw you for the first time at the South Carolina Performing Arts Center. You were hysterically funny, quick off the mark and thoroughly entertaining. I thought your show was witty and vibrant. Thank you for the wisdom and poignant observations. I look forward to seeing you again. -Jerome |
| Dr. Adolph, your on-line video clips are good, but you are simply phenomenal in person! I had no idea that you would be the best speaker I have ever heard in my 53 years - including my pastor. I did not want you to stop talking. Everyone is repeating your 'cat call' "REAL TALK!"
Veronica, University of Pittsburgh |
| Doc, I have met you while you were in Pittsburgh on June 4th at the Westin Hotel. You are AMAZING!!!!! you brought tears to my eyes and laughter in my heart. I laughed so hard my stomach started to cramp. For so long I have been crying because my fourteen year old daughter has become a disrespectful, disobedient and defiant child. She went from being an honor student to failing. I am a Head Start teacher, I LOVE children. I think to myself "How can I be so involved in children's lioves and cannot handle my own? I have two other daughters whom I am raising on my own. When you spoke about your life as a small child and later as a teenager, I was so touched but yet saddened. As I stated earlier, it brought tears to my eyes. I took a picture with you on my cell phone, something that I needed to have. You truly INSPIRED me. I sincerely mean that. You gave me so much HOPE to try harder in building a positive relationship with my eldest daughter. You are GREAT!!!!!!!! |
| Doctor Brown,
I attended the Family Support Conference in Pittsburgh today. I am truly grateful for that experience because of the message you threw out there. Thank you for opening up me eyes to the world around me. Thank you for not letting me merely move on without changing myself. Please come back and speak again soon.
Gratefully,
Diana(the woman in the audience who secretly wondered if you even had shoes on under those pants) |
| You are a phenomenal communicator. Thank you for sharing your uplifting message of hope and encouragement to our staff and parents. You certainly have a gift.
-Fredericksburg DSS |
| Absolutely NO FLUFF! You gave us inspirational motivation. The seminar was a resounding success with our staff. I've had numerous comments from our staff about how much they enjoyed the workshop...it was funny, enlightening, thought provoking, entertaining and educational. I can safely state that you have been the best presenter we've had as an organization during my 31 year tenure.-Calvin R., Educational Options |
| Your talk was an ideal combination of inspiration and humor. Adolph is a fantastic speaker with great twists! Although we loved how he is careful to weave in detailed knowledge on the subject matter - what we like most is the fact that he is sincere, heartwarming, educational, and humorous. Unequivocally the best we have ever had. Amazing!!! - Lynn Shaver, Educational Leaders Retreat |
| I wanted to Thank You for the wonderful job you did speaking to our students and staff at Manassas City Public Schools here in Manassas Virginia last week. I enjoy hearing you speak and watching the reaction of your audiance, especially the day after you speak. I am the school social worker and work closely with the high school and alternative school. I love the follow up discussions with the kids after hearing you speak and their feedback. Thank you for being so power and consistant.
~Stephanie Streat, Manassas City Public Schools |
| Thanks for stimulating our brains and avoiding an Alzheimer’s takeover. It was humbling to hear you say that the most exciting part of what you do is “Every day, I get to work with incredibly talented and interesting people.” You resonated with us. Well-worth the investment. Endorsed without exception. K. Roswell, PRIMUS |
| I recently saw you (Doc) on CBBS Channel 2 in Chicago, Township Meeting on Violence, and I really enjoyed your performance. Yes, I did notice you in the audience looking exactly like a "Thug" and I kept on Saying to myself "Who is that @#$$@# sitting in the audience, surrounded by all those influential people? How did he get in? You really had everyone shocked. I am a Kennedy King student and I was wondering why the students did't get an E-Mail letting us know about the meeting, although it did air after school was out. I did enjoy the program and I put the word out that the media and all the televesions stations should air that program on all stations so that everyone can see exactly what is going on not only in Chicago but in the World. I really put emphasis on your performance. Looking forward to seeing you again and perhaps meeting you some day. Stay strong. A New Fan, Joy Ousley. |
| Thank you for your message today. It was MUCH needed by our students, faculty, and administrators! I have been preaching about image, grades, and education in my first year here and it was heartwarming to hear it from another African-American male such as myself. I pray that this will be positive in the days to come in our school.
This is my first year teaching and I know that I need to work on my content AND classroom management. I appreciate you reinforcing those principles and continue to pray for me as I will for you.
This is a quick email as I have to get in the weight room with my guys and I will email you later with a few questions.
Thanks again! -Aaron Banknight |
| Hey Doc this is Foofoo remember me from osbourn high school i really like your speech and i want you to do another speech at osbourn next year that would be cool by the way my real name is Javon Cook to me i think that you are the best motivator ever |
| For a certifiably committed cynic like me to get letters from my employees about the benefits of your presentation, it blows me away. R. Coppel, GM |
| I am a principal of a Chicago high school in Little Village. I watched the Town Hall meeting tonight. I am so glad you did what you did. I was so annoyed by you in your yellow jacket, standing up in front of people and being rude, hiding yourself in those clothes...I did not understand why you were not asked to behave appropriately. That is the fear that we have of young Black men. You are right. We must talk to young people. It is not that hard. You were screaming "See me" and you were ignored out of fear because of your aggressive body language. Bravo!!-Alice Phillips |
| I recently watched the Chicago forum on violence. I must say that two words come to mind - WOW! and Thank you. During the forum, I kept wondering why someone doesn't tell this man to sit down and take off his hat. It was really bothering me and I even made a statement to my husband. But I was so pleased when you started talking and saying what I felt. I have been confused as to why we in Chicago have not taken steps. We have talked A LOT since last year about violence but nothing seems to be done about it. We raise money for the Games to be held here but none for our youth. What are we saying to or children? The kids are finally standing up and forcing adults to listen but alas we still do nothing for them. Thank you for speaking up and telling the real truth which to me is about action. Stop talking and do. Thanks again.

| First a compliment: Wonderful job at the CBS/WBBE Speak the Truth Townhall event.-Alphonse Gonzales |
| Adolph was fantastic! He was so well received. He was also very approachable and attended our welcome reception and awards dinner. I would highly recommend you to other corporations and events that might occur in the future. I feel that your presentation style and personality were fresh and very interesting to me and all attendees. Your provocative presentation along with your remarks, observations, examples and insights clearly motivated and illuminated the day's discussions. Your skillful weaving of societal, business, educational and technology industry trends gave us much to think about. The breakout groups we held following your keynote presentation were highly energized and productive as a result of the material you presented.
-Roberta McGehee, MCI Conference Planner

| Dr. Brown was an AWESOME ADMINISTRATOR. He had the unique ability to show love to the students, concern to the parents, and respect for employees. One thing he didn't have..fear of anything! He couldn't be threatened or bought. Congratulations on your retirement! Brooke

| I am a former student of Dr. Brown. Hampton University Class of 1999. I just want to pass on my well wishes. It is great to see that he is doing so well. He has certainly been an inspiration to me. -

| I have been a "fan" for quite some time. I have seen you grow tremendously over the past 15 or so years. After reading your posted comments, I must point out what I believe has been your most significant contribution to date. Your focused and vigorous advocacy for personal excellence is not a nicety as some put it, it is a necessity. Best- Ed Sneider, IV |
| Dr. Brown has the rare ability to make a strong, nonpartisan, educational excellence case for continuous improvement, fiscal responsibility, and national standard's achievement in a way that doesn't require a Ph.D. in education or economics to understand. Bright guy! |
| WOW~you started it, finished it and did stuff in the middle. You have definitely mastered your craft. I look forward to seeing you again. -Diana/COABE |
| As the self-proclaimed world's biggest doubter, I was thoroughly engrossed by your presentation. It is so obvious that you have a big heart for people in general and educators specifically. You had us do things others said were impossible. You are the most unusual speaker I have ever heard. -Mable Ellis, COABE |
| You are inspiring to me. I also find you spiffy and extremely funny. I hope all is well and I will indeed remember the message. |
| Thank you for helping us believe good can win. This ws my third time hearing you and I have learned that if your name is attached to a program, it has to be about EXCELLENCE. +Vanessa |
| You were amazingly entertaining from your self-deprecating humor to your tremendous insight surrounding 'personal change and growth.' You are one of the most impressive presenters I've seen or heard. Best part of the conference. Thanks for the spirit of fun and celebration. -Warren |
| OUT OF THIS WORLD! You are the first so-called motivational speaker that presented motivation with purpose or the nuts & bolts to back up action. I have been to numerous of these things throughout my life and I must admit that you are quite relevant, funny, and knowledgeable. Thank you for your 'quiet influence' on lives of others. S.B., Paul D. Camp Community College |
| Adolph,
I just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you speak today in Prince William County. I didn't plan to be there due to the fact that I had report cards to work on but I had to go see what everyone has been talking about. You were very motivational and everything you said made so much sense.
Also- I am a fellow graduate of Green Run High School, class of 87 (Go Stallions!). I believe we might have had English together maybe senior year- Mr. Lankford's class. The 20th reunion last summer was a blast and I am anxiously awaiting the 25th.
Thank you for all that you said today- it meant so much to all of us in the audience.

| Adolph,
Thank you for the great message last night! I agree wholeheartedly with your entire message. I would also offer that we as coaches need to hear the reinforcement through your message in order to "stay the course". It is becoming easier for us to be worn down and let things slip through the cracks so, keep sending the message!
Give my regards to Lawrence when you see him!
Again my thanks and gratitude for what you do!

| Meeting Dr. Adolph Brown at Hampton University in 2003 was the greatest moment in life. As a freshman psychology major, I was unsure of the future before me but I met Dr. Bown who was filled with patience, wisdom and had a huge smile. He inspired me to do anything my heart desired to the 10th power. With his knowledge and passion for education, I have evolved into an independent, educated, and humble woman. Thank you Doc for being there for me and supporting me when I didnt even believe in myself.
Ms. Jessica Okanlawon |
| I LOVE U |
| As I sat and listened to Dr. Adolph Brown, I saw astonishment in the eyes of our students and faculty. After reading many of the messages left by admirers, I have come to my own conclusion; Adolph is not an action hero, he is an exceptional individual whose good character defines all of his actions. I thought you might appreciate my assessment. All the best.
--Lance Mathews, Ph.D. |
| Doc was right on target for our audience. The best in 30 years! Doc is never preachy with his been-there-done-that pointers. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
-Maxie Newberry |
| Dr. Brown, You are a modern-day Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is the highest compliment that I could possibly think of giving you after your training at my organization. Godspeed in all of your endeavors.

| This is the second time in 5 months that I've heard Dr. Brown speak in person. He is wonderful with adults and students. Every school district should ask Dr. Brown to speak at all their schools. He's very motivational!

James City County |
| Our planning committee was concerned about paying for a speaker when we could have someone internal or referred from another district. Doc was well worth whatever we paid him. In fact, our CEO said (in an open meeting) he has heard speakers twice Doc's fee that do not come close to the information, motivation, or delivery that Doc possesses. Thank you for your participation in our merger and setting a positive tone for change. You were just totally awesome. We hope to use you again, preferably NOT for another merger;-)
--Francis, Director of Operations |
| I applaud your interaction, results-oriented coaching process. I owe muc of my success to him. --Harold Jackson, IQ Communications & Solutions |
| We have never had a speaker who had as good a grasp of our organization's culture and integrated it as well in the presentation. It was definitely an all around five-star presentation. I would highly recommend you, and we plan on using you again. Deloris Wise, Darden Restaurants

| Doc is A Courageous Leader!
College Student Services |
| Dr. Adolph Brown was my professor and chairperson of the psychology department at my university. His positive attitude and encouragement kept me, as well, as many other students motivated to succeed not only at Hampton University, but in life. He is a dynamic speaker and makes sure every day is a great day! I served as a mentor in his H.U.S.H program which taught me that our children of today are the next generation, and we must serve as mentors to encourage them to look beyond today and their present situations, because the future holds so much more for them. When you meet Dr. Brown, Ms. Marla and the children, you can see a strong foundation and set of values. They are a family that see "can't" as not an option. Partly because of them, I was encouraged to seek my masters in school counseling because of my love for children. Eventually I hope to receive my PHD in School Psychology. I am currently a case manager at the local department of human services and I see the benefits of helping families everyday. So thank you, Dr. Brown, Ms. Marla and family. I hope to see you again when I volunteer at the Child & Family Wellness center again someday.
