Adam is adept at communicating with both teams and clients. He has demonstrated a keen sense of the group's profit goals and is continuously conscious of the bottom line.

He is very proactive, coming up with unique ideas. He has been involved in recruiting efforts and in creating the internship program, as well as assessing the value of new technologies and services for the company. In addition, he pushes hard for what's best for his colleagues.

In sum, Adam works hard, makes intelligent choices, is fun to be around, and has earned the respect of his peers and the account teams.
- a company founder and partner [emphasis mine]

 

Engaging writing...

Just a quick kudos for a great job on the Interactive Newsletter! I found the format very useful/easy to read and the content informative. I look forward to future editions.
- a senior human resources contact

Why do you think I called you a "Master Editor"?  It wasn't to be a compliment, it was because you literally were a Master Editor. :)
- a former supervisor

I'm very grateful for your humorous tone. It makes otherwise dry material palatable!

I really appreciate your work, and your meticulous eye for detail. You just beautified my document!

Your [department] newsletter is the only one that i get that i read in its entirety, including my own.
- a colleague

 

Online Community Development...

[...] It brings a nice touch to your products and product support, not to mention a human side that other companies don't have. Really makes it feel like we're a part of the product development.
- a customer appreciating my leadership and tone on the company's online forum

Hey, not that i don't normally admire and appreciate the work you do, but really great job on that blog thread i just sent around. you were friendly and helpful and sympathetic and useful, and yet you were being good as a [company] employee too.
- a colleague offering kudos on my online communication skills

Unsolicited praise in response to my online forum contributions

Not only are your ideas good, but you are polite, intelligent, and respectful. [emphasis mine]

---

Adam, just about everything you say is very well-informed.

---

What a simple but brilliant idea :)

---

Adam is a rare bird [...] All his suggestions are golden.

 

Comments from friends (via social networks)

Friends are, of course, biased observers. However, attributes they focus on can indeed be telling.

Friendly, helpful, communicative, attentive...

Adam is nice, sincere, helpful, polite, and gets right to the point. He always seems to be taking the time to answer people's questions, and treats newbies and techies with the same respect, which is not something you find too often in this maze we call the online world.

---

Adam's the friendliest and most charismatic person I know. In the same amount of time that it takes me to introduce myself to someone, Adam has already learned half of their life history.

---

Adam is a kind-hearted, jovial guy with lots to say about...well just about anything. He has a knack for breaking down the most complicated topics into a bulleted 5-point list, something he probably learned in law school and it serves him well. [...]

---

Cosmopolitan, challenging, caring, fun, respectful, smart [...]. Adam's intelligent in an analytic and networked way [...]. He's laid back but well mannered in a naturally friendly, respectful and very charming way. He's warmhearted, helpful, yet self-confident without being arrogant.

---

Adam, what an entertaining guy! A fabulous conversationalist, always intelligent and fun. Very sweet and considerate as well. [...]

---

Confluence of right brain & left brain sensibilities for a Gestalt greater than the sum of the parts. A writer, a blogger, and a thinker, with prodigious Swing dancing dexterity to boot. Understandably well-liked. Given a celebrity-grade social calendar, he's a veritable Heisenberg uncertainty theorem personified: simultaneously everywhere online, a staple on the coolest of evites, yet takes me close to a year to meet him "live". Definitely well worth the wait.

---

[...] You won't find a more friendly, interested person than Adam. He always has a question for you on the tip of his tongue [...]

---

You are the consummate gentleman [...] Dazzling speech skills and marketing wizardry is something that will always hold me in awe of your presence.

---

Adam's an all around better person than I am and most people I know; quick to cheer up others and always leading a group to go do something fun.

---

Adam is talented [...] friendly and also quite nice (which is kinda rare these days!). [...] He's attentive... if you're lost or in need of some help, he'll definitely be there and watch out for you.
