Public Speaking & Event Hosting UK & Worldwide
Professional speaking & event hosting that inspires confidence, engages audiences and energises every room, for schools, charities, sports and community events
Who I am
I’m Adam Abel — a public speaker, event host, charity ambassador, endurance athlete and Head of Year in education.
I help audiences feel more connected, confident and purposeful, whether I’m sharing my story or lifting a room. Everything I do is grounded in lived experience: resilience, purpose, leadership, mental strength, grief and endurance.
When I speak, I connect honestly and deeply. When I host, I bring energy, hype and presence to every moment.
What I Do
-
Event Hosting / Sports MC
When I host an event, I bring energy, connection and atmosphere people feel. I lift the room, engage the crowd and keeping everything running smoothly so your event feels exciting, professional and unforgettable.
Examples include:
Hosting cheerleading showcases such as Full Out Fest in front of 6,000 people.
Presenting and announcing at gymnastics events
Crowd engagement, energy and connection
Awards hosting and athlete recognition moments
-
School & Youth Speaking
I deliver honest, real talks for young people about resilience, choices, behaviour, grief, confidence and belief. My aim isn’t just to “motivate for a moment”, but to help them genuinely think, feel and believe differently, long after the assembly ends.
Examples include:
Year group assemblies
School mindset sessions
Resilience, behaviour and belonging sessions
-
Charity & Patient Ambassador Speaking
As a patient ambassador, I share lived experience with honesty and perspective, helping audiences understand why charities matter, feel inspired to support, give and care, and connect emotionally with your cause.
Examples include:
Charity awareness and campaign events
Supporter and fundraising evenings
Storytelling to inspire connection and action

Topics I Speak On
Resilience & Overcoming Adversity
Real-life lessons from challenge, grief and growth that help people understand strength, perspective and what it truly means to keep going when life feels heavy.
Purpose, Mindset & Motivation
Finding meaning in tough times, building a mindset that supports progress, and understanding how purpose fuels confidence, behaviour and belief.
Leadership, Choices & Behaviour
How small decisions shape who we become, how we show up for others, and how leadership is more about example, consistency and care than titles.
Confidence, Self-Belief & Identity
Helping people see their value, build belief in themselves and develop confidence that feels real, grounded and earned.
Community, Belonging & Connection
Why people need people — how connection changes lives, how belonging supports wellbeing, and how shared experience creates powerful culture.
Mental Strength, Grit & Perseverance
Understanding resilience not as toughness, but as patience, discipline, perspective and the ability to keep moving forward one step at a time.
No two events are the same. Every talk is shaped around your audience, your needs and your event goals so it always feels relevant, meaningful and personal.
Every topic is designed to leave audiences feeling more confident, connected, resilient and equipped with real, practical mindset tools.

Dear Adam,
I just wanted to say thank you for being such an amazing host at our events recently. We have loved having you host our Gymnastics competitions, Phoenix Stars Showcase and the more recent Full Out Fest. We know that we can always rely on you to be professional and well-presented. The crowd really responds to your naturally upbeat personality and your warmth and it is so re-assuring to know that we can leave you to get on with the front of house hosting so that we can get on with running the event. We have several exciting events coming up in the future and would hope that you would be involved in those with us. If you need any recommendations please do let us know and we will not hesitate to recommend you.
Yours sincerely

“Professional, adaptable and easy to work with.”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Adam a few times at different cheerleading shows where he has been the compare.
The nature of the shows has meant he needed to keep a large crowd excited, responsive with a fast turnaround of performances and quite often last second changes to the running order, with literally a moment’s notice.
He was professional, easy to work with, kept the sound team informed of the fluid changes throughout the shows and always kept everyones spirits up.
We’re really looking forward to working with him at future shows.”
