Adam May, MS, LPC — Author, Motivational Speaker, and Consultant
Adam May is no stranger to adversity. Diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma at 17, he spent 18 months in the hospital more days than not fighting for his life with only a 25% chance of survival. Survival, however, was just the beginning. Adam went on to face survivor’s guilt, PTSD, substance abuse, obesity, and the lifelong effects of his treatment—including a prosthetic limb and infertility.
Through these battles, Adam discovered his true calling: to help others navigate their own darkest moments. With over a decade of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor, he now blends personal testimony with professional insight to inspire audiences to reclaim their power, build resilience, and pursue meaningful change.
Adam speaks to corporations, schools, healthcare organizations, and community groups with a raw, vulnerable, and motivational style. His story isn’t just about overcoming—it’s about transforming pain into purpose, hardship into hope, and despair into determination.
Speaking Topics Include:
- Resilience: Turning Setbacks Into Strength
- Healing Beyond Survival: Mental Health and Self-Compassion
- Leadership Through V.I.E.D.C.A. Model
- The Courage to Ask for Help and Redefine Success
Adam doesn’t just motivate—he equips people with the mindset and tools to defy despair and define their best selves.
