Adam Smith is a Professional Certified Coach who has completed more than 4,000 hours of individual and team coaching with more than 1,000 leaders across 40 countries. He works primarily with senior leaders and leadership teams at inflection points, especially senior leaders assuming new P&L and business unit responsibilities, expanding into cross-functional or global scope, preparing for more senior responsibility, or navigating high-stakes organizational change.

Before coaching, Adam led engagements in international retained executive search and organizational consulting, giving him a deep understanding of strategy, finance, boards, senior leadership teams, organizational design, team dynamics, M&A, IPOs, reorganizations/restructurings, performance management, succession planning, and complex adaptive systems.

Adam views client relationships as highly confidential thinking partnerships that are extraordinarily complex and dynamic, continuously renegotiated, and mediated by  mindset, cognition, emotion, identity, motivation, capabilities, behavior, learning, experimentation, and countless other factors. Adam strives to enable leaders to gain deeper self-awareness, reflect, confront undermining negative processes, engage differently in learning and development, access greater capacity, use energy more productively, amplify impact, transform relationships, and experience greater success and satisfaction in life.
