Adam Goodman-Smith

Adam is a writer, coach, podcast host and campaigner

who has a passion for developing others and for

promoting social justice. With almost two decades of

experience in personal development and coaching,

he is committed to empowering people, specifically

women and the LGBTQ+ community, to live more

fulfilling lives by embracing their inner-diva.

FEMALE EMPOWERMENT

Adam was raised around strong women. It’s this

experience that instilled in him a deep sense of

importance about female empowerment and

women’s rights. Today, he is a proud Ambassador

for Broxtowe Women’s Project (BWP), a small but

mighty charity operating from Nottinghamshire that

supports survivors of domestic abuse. BWP provide

a confidential helpline, outreach service, training

courses and drop-in sessions, all aimed at empowering

women.

Adam is also an Ambassador for White Ribbon UK.

Having made the White Ribbon Promise ‘Never to use,

excuse or remain silent against men’s violence towards

women’, Adam helps to create awareness of domestic

abuse related issues and promote the work of both

White Ribbon UK and Broxtowe Women’s Project.

BAREFOOT COACHING

Adam is the Creative Director at Barefoot Coaching,

a world-leading provider of professionally accredited

and university-approved coach training. Having

trained with Barefoot in 2020, Adam is a qualified and

credentialed personal and business coach. Although his

1:1 coaching has taken a backseat in favour of his other

projects and interests, Adam frequently shares the life

changing transformation brought about as a result of

him completing Barefoot’s Postgraduate Certificate

in Personal and Business Coaching. Barefoot has now

trained over 5,500 coaches from all around the world,

and Adam is proud to call himself a ‘Barefooter’.

Adam also hosts the Barefoot Podcast, where he

interviews inspirational people who are making a

difference in the world through their coaching.

ANIMALS

Adam is a passionate supporter of animal welfare

charities and in particular Bliss Cavalier Rescue, a

charity based in the North-East of England that

rescues and re-homes Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

(of which he has two), the vast majority of whom

arrive at the rescue with severe long-term medical

conditions (as is unfortunately typical with the bread)

which require expensive and life-long veterinary care.

THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

As a proud gay man, Adam is an avid supporter of

LGBTQ+ rights. He supports a number of local and

national projects and works to promote LGBTQ+

inclusion, LGBTQ+ owned businesses and frontline

LGBTQ+ services.
