"Charlie opened the Global Compliance Solutions Conference Oct. 15-16, 2009 in Grand Cayman with his fabulous 'Stoke the Fire Within' presentation. He captivated our attendees with his wonderful stories, and his absolute enthusiasm for life was infectious! It was a brilliant way to start the GCS Conference!" Robyn Le Cornu, Event Planner

"Having Charlie speak to our inaugural group of 2009 Titanium Award recipients was a fantastic start to our event. His energy and passion for life is contagious. In addition, he was extremely easy to work with in coordinating schedules." Melissa West, BIOMET, Inc., Event Planner

For over 20 years, event planners have been taking advantage of Charlie Adams' ability to ignite events. Adams is the author of “Stoke the Fire Within: A Guide to Igniting your Life” (Corby Publishing, Notre Dame). The book and his popular keynotes and breakouts are built from over 4000 interviews with peak performers. As a veteran News and Sports Anchor across America, Adams had access to the insights of champions who are able to stay on fire. In his presentations, he shares their secrets on how to seek excellence. Audiences go away reinvigorated and ready to embrace the goals of the event.

The “Stoke the Fire Within” keynote was built to set the tone or end conferences with a fireball of inspiration. Adams is a master at helping events reach their full potential. Organizations often bring Adams in to deliver the pivotal keynote and to deliver his popular breakout "College Recruiting Simplified."
