About Jeff

Jeff and his wife, Cheryl have two married daughters, four grandchildren, and two great-children, as well as several informally “adopted daughters” from various places and backgrounds. Jeff and Cheryl have called four countries home during their 50+ years of marriage and currently reside in Kanas City, Missouri.

Dr. Adams holds an M.S.L. and Ph.D and is the author of several books in Spanish and English. In whatever position he serves and wherever he is in the world, Jeff’s heart is to equip leaders to be the best version of themselves . He has worked with individuals, nonprofits, ministries, businesses and other organizations as an international conference speaker, educator, trainer, coach, and consultant in issues related to leadership, personal development, culture, and language in approximately 70-80 countries on six continents. He is equally at home in English and Spanish and can very marginally purchase a cup of coffee or a beer in a few other languages on a good day. Jeff and Cheryl enjoy good food, good wine, good friends, good coffee, and travel. Ideally, all together!

Whether individuals or organizations, our greatest contribution occurs when we move forward with clarity and confidence to accomplish our mission. Missional Impact, Inc. is Jeff and Cheryl’s registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to equipping strategic global leaders for maximum impact in a culturally complex world. Proceeds from LifePlan and StratOp facilitation and contributions allow Missional Impact to offer the same services to worthy strategic, global leaders who would otherwise not have access to them.
