Interactive and Engaging! Tony was energetic and had everyone hanging on his every word! His passion shines through in everything that he says. He has a gift for connecting with his audience and including them in interactive activities to resonate his message, while also having fun along the way! In addition to his speaking talents, he is also very organized and was excellent with his response and communication leading up to our event. I would highly recommend using him for any event.

Anthony ‘practices what he preaches’ and shows that his pragmatic approach can be used by leaders of all levels, when he speaks to groups. The tools and insight he shares in his book have been instrumental in elevating my leadership and results. It’s required reading for any leader looking to play to his or her strengths and motivate others. If you want to make your mark as a motivational leader, engage in thoughtful words and act on them, is the book for you.

We have brought Tony in to speak to our employees in a big group setting as well as small groups. He is always a hit because he tries to connect to the audience. Employees have left his sessions feeling more energized and ready to approach their jobs with a renewed outlook. One thing he does extremely well is make his speaking engaging. The audience stays focused and can actually apply the things he is teaching in their everyday lives. Tony is a great choice for many different groups.

Tony is an exceptional leader that is dedicated to perfecting his craft. During the time frame I have known Tony, he has been a champion for investing in others, personal growth, and has a razor-sharp focus for excellence. He has a unique skillset as an educator and “Citizen Soldier”, which makes him a valuable leader and team member. His individual growth as a leader is nothing short of intentional. He understands the challenges of leadership and truly enjoys serving for the greater good.

I had the pleasure of working with Tony to help one of our Alabama Rural Electric Cooperatives transition Chief Executive Officers. His genuine realistic presentation style using real life successes and failure to connect to his audience is fantastic. I would highly recommend Tony’s presentations to any group looking to build a more effective team.
