Sandwiched Between Generations

Born between the “Baby Boomers” and “Gen-Z”, I have a unique take on how we can translate “vibes” into a drive for innovation.

My real-life case stories and research-backed insights help create an environment where everyone can thrive!

As someone who's taught over 3,000 university students, I've created strategies that help get them “out of their phone and into the zone”.

And Yes, a Comedian!

I put humor at the center of my motivational keynotes.

Whether it’s poking fun at my own oversights and missteps or reflecting on life as a non-traditional academic, I use humor as a tool to disarm the “devil’s advocates”.

By making myself the butt of the joke, it helps showcase the value of inclusive leadership and set the audience at ease, paving the way for deeper engagement and understanding.

I guarantee a laugh - or at least a groan - at every talk!

As a funny keynote speaker for corporate events, I blend research-backed insights with gut-level laughs that get teams talking.

Interested in booking Anthony for your event?

With a foot in both academia and the real world, I bring a rare mix of rigor, relatability, and stage presence to every event. Whether you’re organizing a corporate offsite, an international summit, or something in between, I deliver the energy and insight of an award-winning inclusive leadership keynote speaker with the sharpness of a researcher and the timing of a comedian.
