Raymond Towle, Executive Director,
US Chamber of Commerce

"Tony's work is about energizing leadership. His recommendations all intuitively make sense, but it is the way he fits the pieces together and connects them to performance that makes his presentations so especially powerful.

Catherine Murchie, Vice-President

"The transformative power of this work lies in its ability to help very smart and already high performing people change their current behaviors to be even more effective, fulfilled and connected to others. It is intellectually engaging because it is based ion hard research from various scientific disciplines, and provides different frames of reference and new ways to look at old problems. It delivers results because of the specific process of creating and practicing more effective behaviors through rituals, which eventually become virtuous habits."
