Adrienne White has taught and presented to thousands of people from around the world on topics that range from leadership, to communication, to public speaking – most always with the brain in mind. She is a trusted advisor and coach who brings a genuine passion for advancing the potential and well being of women. Her corporate work includes over 20 years experience in the private and non‐profit sectors helping large and small organizations navigate successful major change, improve communications, and bring out the best in people -- while improving performance and well-being. The ridiculous amount of personal and professional change in her life has prepared her well to work with people and organizations to make change successful and easy (or as easy as change can be). With health concerns that nearly ended her, Adrienne knows what it means to overcome challenges and deal with very personal change. She has lived through and recovered from brain injury. Perhaps that is why her fascination with the brain runs so deep. Adrienne is driven to help people dig deep to uncover their inner brilliance. She focuses her work with smart, professional women who are silently struggling with transitions, burnout, or that feeling of ‘is this all there is’. She helps them to quickly generate more energy, get better results, and get clear on how to create a life worthy of living.

My upcoming book, "Be the Good: Becoming a Force for a Better World," offers action steps for each one of us to take in order to build better places. In remote Norwegian farming communities, subsistence villages along the Bering Sea, high altitude and high energy La Paz, and my homespun hometown, I have engaged with and learned from hundreds of people who are making a real difference in the world. I am honored by these heart-driven folks who know that their community’s growth is paramount to their own successes. These illuminating experiences have allowed me to: Have authored “The Gift of Courage,” that Meryl Streep calls “One of the good news stories that resonate within every life…that anyone can take to heart." This book tells stories of everyday heroes who each have positively changed the lives of thousands of people. Have written "Be the Good," that reviewers call "a must read," "an inspiring guide to individual and collective well-being," and "a powerful book about how we each can be a greater force for good on the planet."
