Signature Keynotes
Three program formats for maximum impact
Your Story Is Your Secret Weapon
Anthony’s keynote shows audiences that you don’t need a dramatic backstory to matter—when you communicate the real moments that shaped you with intention, your everyday experiences become powerful stories that inspire, influence, and deeply connect in ways data and bullet points never can.
Communication Is King
In this high-energy keynote, Anthony shows that even the best business strategy fails without clear, socially aware communication—and he gives audiences practical tools for using tone, presence, listening, and intentional language so engagement rises, conflict drops, and performance soars.
Overcoming Failure & Mindset
In “The Art of Doubling Down”, Anthony shows that setbacks don’t break us—our response does—and gives audiences a real-world, high-stakes-inspired framework for turning pain into breakthroughs, failure into fuel, and obstacles into strategy so teams can build resilience, grit, and confidence.

What People Say
Event producers and executives share results
“I have known Anthony since 2012, during which time he has worked with and for me as a public speaker, host, emcee, interviewer and actor. Anthony has a remarkable talent for engaging and motivating people, and he makes it look effortless. Whether he is working a crowd of 20,000 people into a frenzy, or connecting one-on-one in an interview with a governor, professional athlete, celebrity or fan, Anthony possesses a magnetic charisma and infectious enthusiasm.
It is GREAT having Anthony around, as whenever he is at an event, it always makes my job easier. And when Anthony is there, I can relax knowing that things will go well in any part of the presentation he is involved with.
Anthony has helped me advance my career in the last seven years, and I hope to keep working with him for many years to come.”

— Lori Vachon, MEF Director Global Events
