More Than the Crown – Adam Fleck – Pageant Coach and Consulting
Client Endorsements
“Adam has such great insight into all aspects of competition. He showed me a different way to approach interviews that allowed me to trust myself and made me more confident. His concepts taught me to draw my responses from memories and to paint pictures for the judges. His little tips and tricks helped me get to where I am. He was a great addition on my journey to winning the 2022 International Cinderella Woman title.“
I started working with Adam after an 8-year break from pageants, and it was like I never stepped away from them. I was able to jump right back in with a new sense of confidence. Adam’s coaching methods set a course for my success. He taught me how to work through my nerves so I could show my true self in my interview and on-stage talent. Adam is always willing to go above and beyond. I plan to keep him a part of my team and journey for many years to come.

I knew from our first telephone conversation that Kylie would benefit from working with him Adam. He has given her a different perspective on what an interview is all about, and I know she will keep these skills for a lifetime. He has a way of making his lessons memorable. Thank you for working with my daughter!

I met Mr. Adam when I was just 10 years old, and I’ve learned more than I could have ever imagined from him. He is so much more than a pageant coach. He has always believed in me, especially when I did not believe in myself. Mr. Adam has been there every step of the way. He has helped me capture two State titles and three International titles in the Cinderella Scholarship Pageant.

“I cannot take all of the credit for my success because, without my support group and those that have assisted in training me, I would never be where I am today. One such person is Adam Fleck. After completing 11 years for an International Title, I had begun to doubt my abilities and myself. Adam brought in a new perspective and energy that helped me become aware of what I was missing. Adam had a positive and challenging approach that added a new dimension to my abilities. He dedicated his time and energy to me during my competition which gave me a fresh and new direction. He still makes his talents, advice, and encouragement available to me well after my crowning. I am so thankful to have Adam on Team Laryssa.”

“Adam Fleck’s coaching played a huge part in helping me win the 2011-2012 International Cinderella Teen Title. I have worked with him numerous times, and he has encouraged me to be myself and not be a “Pageant Girl”. He is loyal and supportive. His coaching techniques are brilliant! I consider Adam a huge part of my success and would recommend him to all of my friends. Thank you, Adam!”

“All I’ve got to say is WOW! I really didn’t expect her to get as much out of the training with Adam as she did as a Tot. And now his very unique and effective approach brings out the best in Amber. With his advice, she is able to feel confident and truly enjoy herself, which ultimately is the reason we enjoy Cinderella each year. Once he sits down with her and talks about how she feels throughout the process of competition and gives her some great ideas on how to view it from another perspective, she is so excited for the day and week ahead. Amber looks forward to working with Adam year after year, and he always adds something new to keep Amber feeling confident, and growing to be her best self. It’s like Adam Says, it’s about “More Than The Crown”. ~Stacy Ellis (mother)

“Words can not express how impressed I was while working with Adam. His information and advice not only apply to skills needed to succeed in the interview but will also take you through your life. He took Autumn to the NEXT LEVEL. Adam also helped Autumn with her violin in that she needed to play with her heart and what she felt in the music. It is amazing how he could help with her talent on an instrument of which he had little knowledge.” ~Kari Arsenault (mother)

“Adam, you helped Katie understand that she didn’t have to try so hard, that she just had to be herself, and that the judges would love her when they saw her true personality. You helped Katie realize that there is no right answer and that sharing a story is a way to allow others to get to know you. You were so good with her and really brought these concepts to a level that a 6-7-year-old could understand. After Katie worked with you she said, ‘This is going to be easy. I just need to be myself!’ Thank you, Adam, we couldn’t have done it without you!” ~Cynthia Carson, mother.

After taking a few years off, (Adam) helped build my confidence in preparation for the International Cinderella Scholarship Pageant. He also helped me to better understand myself as an individual, improve my interview and speaking skills, and feel confident and humble from our very first session. Adam helped me to recognize my worth and potential so that I truly had an amazing experience regardless of what the outcome was.

“After I met with Mr. Adam, I went into my Interview with confidence, and I wasn’t nervous at all! This carried over into the other areas of competition.” ~ Anna Beth Charlet

“I never wanted Anna Beth to be ‘coached’, so we were hesitant. After working with Adam, I knew this was the best thing we had ever done in the pageant world. Money & time well spent! He reassured Anna Beth that it’s not about having the perfect dress, shoes, hair, or even saying the right or wrong thing. Rather, it’s about the judges getting to know her heart and what’s inside. Anna Beth came out of the Interview at TX State and said it was her best interview ever. She was so confident, and this set the pace for the rest of the competition. Thank you, Mr. Adam!!!” Kim Charlet (Anna Beth’s mother)
“Adam’s coaching helped me get off to a great start in the Cinderella program. He encouraged me to let my true self be seen. He also helped me to understand how to get my story across in my dancing. I would strongly recommend him.”

“Adam has a unique way of showing his clients how to look at situations from many different angles, and even at Katherine’s young age, that made a difference in how she approached her talent presentation. His methods of helping them see the process differently than they have in the past, really help them approach their pageant preparation from a new perspective.”

“Adam… listening to you talk to Sydnee at Cinderella Internationals was just amazing. It’s hard to put into words the love & support you have for these girls. You spoke to my daughter and explained to her (always on her level) that it’s all about expressing who you really are and that just being yourself is the best part. You always made it fun for her. I know at times working with a five-year-old can be challenging, but you never let that affect your work. I only wish I had the patience you did! Thanks again for your help.”

“This summer I had the opportunity to work with Adam. He is truly a “life” coach. It was suggested that he could possibly be of help to me and my interview for the Ms. United States Pageant system. I was the Arizona State winner and on my way to Nationals. Adam helped me to see parts of myself I had never considered bringing to the table during an interview. I placed in the top 6 at Nationals and am quite proud of my accomplishment. I credit Adams teaching for helping me to achieve a top 6 ranking. I highly recommend Adam.”

“Adam has helped me realize how important it is to really prepare and think about what I want an audience to see and feel. He has some very interesting and creative ways of helping you present your best on and off the stage.”

“Adam helped me most with my talent and taught me how to “make it mine”. My dance teachers have taught me technique and choreography, but Adam helped me realize that every performance needs something more. I also feel more relaxed and confident going into an interview because of his help.”

“Adam, you‘re awesome! For two years, you have helped me in so many areas… Pageants, singing, auditioning, acting in my plays, and even Cheerleading! Who knew there’d be an interview? I’ve learned life lessons from you while coaching me for pageants. You have given me a great foundation and taught me to never just get by and meet the standard, but to excel and exceed it. I look forward to a wonderful life of accomplishments because of you!”
