About Adair Cates

XChange Facilitator & Self-Mastery Coach

The mantra that drives me and keeps me centered is the famous Gandhi quote: ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.'

Not only does it drive me personally, but it fuels my professional quest to help you and/or your team or community BE the greatest version of yourselves, so you can make a lasting impact in the world. I do this by facilitating connective conversations and asking empowering questions that help you …

…Focus on your strengths
...Identify a transcendent
Expand your thinking
…Break through emotional blocks and
Establish powerful new routines 

I help you and your team or community through this transformation by serving as your heartfelt guide. I say heartfelt because, like you, I’m a work in progress myself. Always looking to grow and expanding my capacity to learn, relate and accelerate connection! Maybe that’s why my clients say I bring out the best in them and their teams.

I’m committed to creating business cultures that amp up creativity, develop interpersonal connectivity, and acknowledge a collective genius that leads to greater cooperation and productivity.

The mantra that drives me and keeps me heading in the right direction is the famous Gandhi quote: ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.'

Not only does it drive me personally, but it fuels my professional quest to help you and your team be the greatest version of yourselves, so you can make a memorable impact in the world. I do this by facilitating connective conversations and asking empowering questions that help you …

…Focus on your strengths … Expand your thinking ...
…Break through emotional blocks and … Establish powerful new routines.

I help your team through this transformation by serving as your heartfelt accountability partner. I say heartfelt because, like you, I’m a work in progress myself. Always looking to improve! Maybe that’s why my clients say I bring out the best in them and their teams.

I’m all about business cultures that amp up creativity, develop interpersonal connectivity, and build a collective genius that leads to greater cooperation and productivity.

The XCHANGE methodology I use leads to sustained change and lasting results including:

  • Clarity of purpose, confidence, and vision

  • Lively cultures that bring out the best in people

  • Creative vibrancy that unlocks group genius

  • Intentional psychological safety for team members

  • Open Hearts and Minds centered on making a BIG impact in the world

"Like I said, I’m a continual work in progress myself, always striving to grow and expand. This is the spirit I seek to infuse into every group and organization with whom I partner.

Outside of work I’m a mom to twin girls. I’m also an inspiration junkie, constantly reading, receiving coaching and attending training for my own growth. My saving graces are my oat milk lattes and regular meditation & yoga practices.

“I facilitate conversations to ignite creativity, leverage strengths, harness collective wisdom, accelerate outcomes and productivity and create sustainable, scalable change at a speed that surprises most.”
