Management comments
Tony and I have worked together for nearly five years. First as colleagues in a US MNC and, when Tony went out on his own, as client and vendor.
My experience with Tony as a co-facilitator was very positive. During the course of multi-day leadership development programs we would play off each other and the participants to deliver content in a personalized way while maintaining the overall integrity of the program. His ability to gather information from the audience and then feed it back to them in a manner they can understand greatly enhanced the learning.
As a client, Tony continues to impress. His facilitation skills are bolstered by his ability to generate new ideas that improve the overall learning experience. His Asia Pacific regional experience makes it as easy to plug him into a program in Shanghai as it is to put him in front of a group in Sydney .
Do I recommend him? For my requirements, without hesitation.”

Participant comments
Tony is a professional facilitator who has solid experience and extensive theories. I got to know him in a training session he conducted. I enjoyed his training and we became friends. I attended several other workshops he delivered afterwards. He knew how to keep the participants engaged and interested. The material and games he chose were inspiring and fun. I love reading his monthly newsletter “Turning Point”. The topics are fun and relevant to our life and work. He is a great listener that he pays attention to what you say and offer the suggestion/advice that you can act on. He is doing his best to learn the local culture, getting his message cross by using the stories or terms that we Chinese are familiar with. I have no doubt that Tony is able to help your organization with your management education need whether in form of group workshop or one on one executive coaching after he understands your requirement.

Thanks Tony for the wonderful week, this was one of the best courses I have done in years, very well put together, good atmosphere, I learnt how to juggle (now up to 20) and most of all it was beneficial to my current role. Keep up the good work and hopefully I will be sitting in on one of your presentations again within the coming years. Kind Regards,

Even the basic theory of teamwork seems a little bit boring :-P, but the group game and your explanation is really useful and meaningful. Personally, i am highly appreciated your sharing about your story to me which inspire and affect me completely. Thanks again.

Hi Tony, Thank you very much for the training you gave us and the photos, it’s a very successful training for me, I really learned a lot of things from you, the thinking way I’ve never thought before, even know more about myself. It will provide a positive impact on not only my thinking way but also my behavior in the future work. I bought some balls yesterday to practice the juggling, the record is 6 so far, I hope I can do better later. Thank you again. Best regards,
