Thank you for your amazing talk in Athens ESPNIC 2023, you are an inspiration and your story and journey is just so incredible to hear.
Thanks for having a quick chat before you got your taxi for the airport! As a picu nurse and an ecmo specialist it really resonated with me just how far the nhs has come in delivering these life saving therapies and the impact it has on our families!
I wish I’d asked my question “have you ever had the opportunity to meet Eminem!?”

Anthony gets others to feel and acknowledge emotions and feelings they weren’t consciously aware were there and he gets to the heart of our fear so unpretentiously and with an authenticity that is rare today. He is so easy to listen to and has emotional intelligence way beyond his years. More...

Fantastic presentation and it really was inspiring. Not normally my type of thing but Anthony was excellent.
Auriel Chandarana
Your story was truly Inspiring!
Christina Mekvold
His presentation was one of the most motivational I've seen. A lot of the same struggles I have were expressed, but he has pulled through amazingly.
It has given me hope that I can quiet The Puller-Backer and give voice to The Dreamer. There is a lot to work on, but his speech has given me the kick that I need to examine myself and what inner voices have been pulling me back.
Even though I was too scared to get a photo with him at the end regardless of this additional motivation, I hope if I get another opportunity to see a presentation of his in person, I'm able to overcome that fear.

Excellent motivational speech as part of an inset day.

I feel very fortunate that I was able to invite Anthony to share his story with all of the pupils at my school. His personable and friendly approach enthralled and engaged pupils throughout his presentation, and his inspirational story clearly resonated with every member of our school community involved. As a result, feedback was overwhelmingly positive, from both pupils and staff alike. I look forward to working with Anthony again in the future. More...

Inspiring, empowering and thought provoking talk
Thank you
Kerry
You are a true inspiration and lots of what you spoke about today resonates with me. I hate speaking aloud and often say no rather than pushing myself through that barrier and the voice that holds me back. Not only am I going to try and start saying yes but I aim to share this with anyone who will listen: staff, pupils and my own children and friends. Thank you for sharing what you’ve been through and inspiring and motivating us all. More...
