“Adrienne is a great professional who is diligently preparing for every performance giving her best. She has a great deal of business experience working with large global businesses helping them drive change, reshaping their culture and developing leaders for better results”.

Andrey Iliev Co-Founder and Program Director at Samodiva Masterminds

“As a consultant Adrienne switches easily from analyzing a problem, discussing the strategic and organizational impact to an employee driven implementation. In ‘selling’ and implementing solutions, Adrienne knows how to push forward on deliverables, whilst building engagement and trust within different cultural and organizational settings.”

Theo Osse Takeda HR Business Partner & Project Lead

"I had a chance to work with Adrienne in connection with our AIESEC leadership conference in 2020. She was incredibly humble, honest, polite and inspiring to work with. She took her time to not only understand our delegates' needs but also to get insights from the conference team. Her speech was very needed and eyeopening especially as it was shared as a reflection to the current unprecedented times. She could engage our audience even without pictures and a presentation as her storytelling skills are extraordinary. She dared to try out new ways of facilitating such as stopping in the middle of her speech to involve the audience more and engage them with a bit of interaction. It was an absolute pleasure to have her as our guest speaker, I hope we can have the chance to work together in the future!"

Fédra Anett Szűcs Public Relations & Partnerships Development Manager, AIESEC

"Adrienne’s keynote presentation at our Project Management Summit Bulgaria 2019, which was the biggest PMI conference in Europe with more than 850 attendees, was both compelling and enlightening—it was incredibly motivating. Our attendees, from all venues of business life, commented that Adrienne not only gave us practical tools and specific ideas to improve our performance, but inspired us to be confident and know we have it within us to succeed. In the post-event survey, our public rated Adrienne’s speech among the top 3 best presentations, delivered during the conference. Thanks for teaching, educating, encouraging, entertaining and inspiring us, dear Adrienne! Your participation was invaluable in making our summit a success!"

Lyra Konstantinova Project Management Coordinator, The Fulbright Program

“It is not every day that you run into unique public speaking talent and inspiration like Adrienne Gibson. Listening in, you will have no choice but to embark on the journey she will be taking you on. Adrienne’s ability to seamlessly adapt to her audience, small or large, her mindfulness to cultural diversity, and the strength of the messages she delivers so simply are unique assets that make her THE speaker you will want to hear!”

Nadjia Drici Global Head IT - Sales & Compliance Systems / IT Business Partner Integration Planning Lead

“Being in the transition phase in my affiliate in France, I asked Adrienne to deliver a 2 day change management workshop.  That was a challenge - how to convince French in a non-native language! It was fabulous, as Adrienne has the talent to absorb a culture and to adjust her speech and behavior to the audience!  Successful meeting and now the transition is made, the management was on board and we all say, thank you, Adrienne."

"Adrienne’s energy on stage is incomparable and the way she conveys messages is just amazing on a topic like transition and change.  I have heard a lot of people giving lessons about change management, but this time that was the first one I was listening from the beginning till the end.”

Francis Lemoine President Allergan France

“When my company needed strategic HR consultancy, at a critical transformative point, we were fortunate to work closely with Adrienne Gibson as our expert HR senior leader. Quick to grasp the complex environment we were operating in, efficient in establishing trusted, professional and efficient relationships across the globe, Adrienne has helped shape our HR strategy, while respecting our core values and the global diversity across the team. The perfect combination of deep knowledge, strategic drive and cultural fit in one unique senior consultant.”

Nadjia Drici Global Head IT - Sales & Compliance Systems / IT Business Partner Integration Planning Lead

“It was truly an inspiring and eye-opening experience to work with Adrienne. She facilitated discussions in such a constructive way, she delivered presentations and messages in a consistent and easy to understand way, so I felt I was able to learn and get a lot out of the 2 day workshop. What was so amazing was, in just 2 days, she was able to earn the trust of all the members participating in the workshop, to open up and really discuss openly, which is a difficult thing to do given the Japanese culture.”

Miho Okabayashi Allergan Japan Legal & Compliance Head

“Adrienne has a powerful gift of storytelling. She was the keynote speaker at Courageous Leaders 2019, London. Our 128 delegates were simply mesmerized by Adrienne's authentic and thought-provoking presentation. Her story was brought to life by humour, real life events and peppered with invitations to the audience of c-suite, senior executives and lawyers to stop and think differently. Adrienne's roundtable speed-mentoring sessions were crowded with delegates wanting to seek her wisdom. I have no hesitation in recommending Adrienne to anyone seeking inspiration and thoughtful provocation.”

Nilema Bhakta-Jones CEO Alacricity Law

“Thank you for the great session. It was all that I had expected and more. You energized the room, kept them interested and active and everyone I spoke to felt they had taken something away, which is what we had wanted to achieve. Your energy, presence and story make a great mix for such sessions and you manage to find the right balance between being personal and approachable as well as come across as an expert.”

Christina Mueller Healthcare Business Women Association & VP HR, Takeda

“Adrienne has been my mentor for a full year on a pro-bono basis via the Women in Banking and Finance program. She has been instrumental in my transformation journey. She has encouraged me, helped me re-frame some difficult situations, asked me questions and challenged my decisions to ensure I took the best one for me. To be fair, she inspired me a lot. She knows her thing about resilience and how to rebound, and her intra-personal skills made it easy for me to discuss openly and admit my own shortcomings with her. I never felt judged, and instead, helped. Our chats and her words went a long way. Faultless, fair and fun!”

Carolyn Porretta Managing Director – Structured Finance & Real Estate

“In facilitating Leadership programs, Adrienne is a rare breed. In her approach she is open and inclusive with a keen eye on balancing posture and behavior of leaders toward organizational goals and change. Her personal facilitating style makes it easy for leaders to reflect and adjust their Leadership style to be more open, mature and clear on expectations to their employees to drive output and innovation.”

Theo Osse Takeda HR Business Partner & Project Lead

"Working with Adrienne Gibson as our dedicated leadership program facilitator was one of our best transformative decisions. Adrienne coached a large community of IT Leaders as we started bringing a fragmented IT organization, scattered across 70+ countries, into our first ever global IT organization, all while respecting a very diverse set of cultures and a strongly rooted Japanese heritage."

Nadjia Drici Global Head IT - Sales & Compliance Systems / IT Business Partner Integration Planning Lead

"As a new member of Allergan Japan Leadership team, I truly appreciated the New Leader Assimilation workshop that Adrienne facilitated. It certainly drew the entire leadership closer together, we had so much fun in the workshop and everyone got to know one another so much better.

Adrienne is a fantastic leader, the team was able to come together quickly and give their honest feedback and work on things to start and continue as well as their advice for me to assimilate well to the team, as well as Japan."

Agnes Lim President, Allergan Japan
