  • Anthony delivers keynotes on the future of leadership, inclusive innovation, and performance culture. His signature “7 Sins and Wins” format blends insight with storytelling and humor to inspire and energize audiences across sectors.

  • Most DEI talks stop at awareness. Anthony goes further: connecting inclusion to performance, creativity, and competitive edge. He speaks with authenticity, owning his power and privilege as a straight, white man, while modeling what it means to lead with both humility and accountability. With humor, lived experience, and hard data, he helps leaders shift from performative to transformative.

  • Warm, high-energy, and disarmingly honest. Audiences often say Anthony "says the quiet part out loud" but with just enough charm and charisma to open minds and spark reflection.

  • Yes! And he makes it accessible. As a researcher, advisor to the UN, and professor of inclusive leadership and innovation, Anthony combines academic depth with real-world practical skills. Your audience will feel smarter without feeling lectured.

  • Yes! and no, he’s not here to make inclusion into a punchline. Anthony brings his background in stand-up comedy to every keynote, using humor with care, purpose, and humility. He often makes himself the butt of the joke by sharing embarrassing, real-life leadership missteps that help audiences laugh, reflect, and grow. It’s comedy with a conscience: a way to create connection, lower defenses, and make serious insights stick without ever making light of the serious stuff.

  • Not even close. Anthony’s work isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about building the leadership cultures that unlock innovation, trust, and results. Inclusion is the method, not the message.

  • Always. Every keynote is tailored to your goals, whether it’s inspiring C-suite leaders, activating frontline teams, or aligning with a strategic initiative. He’ll collaborate with you to get it right.

  • Yes! With clients across 5 continents, Anthony’s approach is globally relevant and locally grounded. His stories span continents, but his insights always land. He has 15 years of experience speaking to international audiences across 33 countries and is comfortable working with real-time interpreters, including sign language translators. While English is his native language, he’s mindful of pacing and clarity when speaking with multilingual or translation-based audiences.

  • Anthony is a go-to speaker for corporate events and professional conferences, with formats ranging from high-impact 15-minute talks to in-depth seminars lasting over an hour - always tailored to meet the audience’s needs. He’s worked with groups from intimate seminars to arena-sized gatherings. From Volkswagen to Canon to Dell, clients choose Anthony when they want a keynote speaker who blends inclusion with leadership, innovation, culture, and performance. He’s also partnered with governments, universities, schools, sports teams, and nonprofits - and waives his fee for select nonprofit engagements.

  • Depending on your needs, Anthony offers optional white papers, scorecards, courses, workshops, masterclasses, and professional coaching to keep the momentum going. He’s also created an INCLUDE Scorecard and resource kits for 2026. For organizations looking for deeper, sustained engagement, Anthony can also serve as an Expert-in-Residence, offering strategic insight across multiple touchpoints during the year.
