Meet Dr Adam Fraser

High performance without the collateral damage!

Dr Adam Fraser is a high-performance researcher and award-winning keynote speaker who helps people thrive at work and in life - without burning out in the process.

From elite athletes and special forces to CEOs and school principals, Adam’s work explores what drives sustainable performance in complex, high-pressure environments.

His unique strength lies in translating cutting-edge science into practical strategies that create lasting behaviour change. One university study even showed a 43% improvement in performance behaviours after just one of his keynotes - a world-first.

Adam is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), TEDx presenter, and was named Keynote Speaker of the Year in 2023. His work spans over 30 years of keynote speaking, consulting, and research, all anchored by a single belief: performance should lift people up, not wear them down.

Beyond the bio

Away from the spotlight, Adam is a heavy metal fan, gym junkie, car enthusiast, and deeply devoted dad. His greatest personal challenge is learning how not to embarrass his teenage daughters (he’s still working on it).

He doesn’t just talk about research, he contributes to it. In fact, he’s believed to be the only keynote speaker in the world whose impact has been formally measured in a university study.

Adam is known for calling out the fluff that clutters the performance and wellbeing space. He’s passionate about replacing guesswork with grounded insight, and helping people find clarity in the chaos.

What sets him apart isn’t just what he knows, it’s how he connects. With humour, humility and real-world relevance, he makes complex ideas easy to grasp and hard to forget.

Whether in a keynote or an in-person or virtual workshop, he shows up with the same energy and authenticity: ready to help people perform at their best, without losing themselves in the process.

Testimonials
- MLC Australia -

Adam Fraser was terrific and set a great tone for the session. He was really well received by both participants and the Executive team, Sim and I have both received lots of positive feedback. On a personal note I feel Adam has really nailed virtual delivery, he delivered a virtual experience that didn’t feel virtual for me, I felt like I was sitting in the room with him! It would have been great to have a longer session with Adam.

- Business Chicks -

You were SUCH an asset to have at our conference. Only YOU would be able to fly in a few hours prior to your session and deliver a keynote that was so powerful and so relevant to everything that we had just heard and experienced. You know the BC community so well and you always tailor your presentations so perfectly….and for that, I thank you!! I absolutely loved what you delivered and I saw so many people furiously writing notes throughout it. They couldn’t get enough!

- Australian Credit and Finance -

Adam was nothing short of superb! Everyone raved about his performance and loved having him there. He was even very flexible with our schedule being very ahead so he performed an hour earlier than scheduled. The speaker right after him even made jokes that he was impossible to follow as he was so uplifting and entertaining. Our team had a lot of take aways from his performance and we hopefully will be able to get him to perform at next years conference.

- Jenni Coulter | Scottish Pacific -

His speech on Friday was excellent and the feedback from all our guests and their partners was amazing. I have heard many comments which include ‘changing their life’ and also ‘best speakers we have had at our conference’. That speaks absolute volumes and it was just a pleasure working with Adam and you ladies in the office.

- Amanda | The Peninsula School -

I was lucky enough to hear Dr Adam Fraser speak at The Peninsula School early this year and I want to thank you for the impact it has had on my job and life in general. I teach some very lively year 1s and paying attention to that transition time has made an enormous difference to the effectiveness of the next lesson or activity. The atmosphere is more positive and definitely more calm.

- AHRI -

Dr Indeed! I feel like i just received the medicine for the illness that i've been trying for so long to get over-transition-between-work-and-homitis! FANTASTIC. Watched some of Adam's stuff prior to the conference and was very excited about this presentation. He was fantastic and so entertaining at the same time. I will be putting him on my 'one to watch' list! :)

- Matrix Planning Solutions -

What a session! We laughed, we learned, we listened and we loved it. Thanks so much for making the morning so memorable at our recent Business Owners Conference. Our MD tell tells me his wife keeps reminding him to "be present".

- St Michael's Grammar School -

Adam is a highly engaging and entertaining presenter. The staff are still talking about the session and ‘showing up’ has been coming into many a conversation! Even the self-proclaimed cynics in the group came back with positive feedback. It was easy to organise and we would definitely have Adam back again.

- Association & Communication Events -

Adam Fraser spoke at our Employer Branding Summit on Tuesday this week. His speech was excellent and I thought that you might like to know that he was voted as our top speaker by attendees.

- Terry White -

I just experienced your amazing presentation at the Terry White conference (no, I'm not a pharmacist) and I need to tell you that you have changed my life. On behalf of my family, my colleagues, but most importantly from myself... thank you for who I'm going to be from now on.
