Adam’s
Creative Impact
Before teaching creative leadership, Adam lived it. As a producer and executive behind some of the most beloved and culture-shaping films of the past three decades, his work has reached millions of people worldwide — inspiring audiences and creators alike.
“Adam has a rare ability to make leadership feel human, creative, and actionable.”
Participant, Berkeley Haas Program
What Leaders and Creators Are Saying
Working with Adam was like being reminded of my own strength. He helped me see that I already had the tools — I just needed the push. His guidance gave me focus, confidence, and the urgency to carve out space for my own creative work again.
Joelle Peters, Artistic Director & Writer
Working with Adam reminded me why I love this work. He treats every writer with respect — asks real questions, listens, and helps you see your story through your own eyes again. That generosity and honesty aren’t common in this industry, and it made all the difference for me.
Joshua Labata, Screenwriter & Playwright
Before Adam, I was all over the place and struggled to even call myself a writer. He created a safe, non-judgmental space and gave me a clear path — who to talk to, what to do next. Now I feel like a professional writer, with focus and consistency.
Leslie Musimenta Mba, Writer
Adam helped me go from a timid writer to a confident storyteller. His mentorship gave me clarity about what I want, who to talk to, and how to move forward. I finally feel grounded in my creative path.
Milkomee Addisu, Writer & Artist
Adam’s guidance was invaluable. Talking to him gave me clarity, confidence, and direction. It made me see that my project isn’t just a creative experiment — it could (actually) stand on its own professionally. That it belongs in the world.
