Katie Deacon

An expert in his field and an exceptionally engaging

Tony recently held an Ask the Expert session at one of our Rushcliffe Business Partnership networking events based on “How a Growth Mindset Will Bring Out The Best In You” which I had the pleasure of attending and thoroughly enjoyed.

Tony really is an expert in his field and an exceptionally engaging, informative and inspirational speaker. I gained a huge amount from his session and took away many helpful and practical hints and tips that I’ve started to put into practice. I really couldn’t recommend Tony highly enough.

All responses “extremely valuable” or “very valuable”

Tony delivered a fantastic presentation on Building Self Motivation & Resilience at one of our recent networking events and was extremely well received. Not only was the content both interesting and relevant but there were a number of takeaways and questions to contemplate after the presentation. Tony was very engaging and captivating, delivering his presentation clearly and concisely. On the feedback survey, his presentation was rated highly, with all responses saying it was either “Extremely Valuable” or “Very Valuable”. I would definitely ask Tony to present again and recommend him for both presenting and training.

Feedback from delegates has been extremely positive

Tony delivered a very engaging and insightful Growth Mindset session for our junior manager population. The session was professionally delivered via Zoom, with Tony keeping engagement levels high throughout with a mixture of group discussions and breakout sessions. The feedback from delegates has been extremely positive, particularly with regards the content and its relevance to the roles the delegates undertake, and the practical ‘hints and tips’ offered throughout the session. I would not hesitate in using Tony again.

I left his presentation energised and excited

I had the privilege of hearing Tony talk about Imposter Syndrome as part of Charlie Whyman’s Curious Marketing Club. As a business owner, we all “suffer” from Imposter Syndrome from time to time, but what impressed me about Tony’s talk is that we came away from his presentation with practical tips on how to deal with it. I left his presentation energised and excited and I have passed on his moments of wisdom to fellow entrepreneurs. Tony is an incredible speaker and I highly recommend his services to anyone who is need of a Leadership Psychologist to talk their Chambers, workplace, event or conference.

Feedback was excellent and one of the best sessions we’ve had

Tony delivered a very well received and excellent talk to my community – The Curious Marketing Club around managing and beating those imposter moments and negative thoughts we all have when running our own business and trying to put ourselves out there. The feedback was excellent and this was one of the best sessions we’ve had. Tony has a wonderful ability to get everyone involved and really tap into those key challenges we all face but don’t always admit to.

Highest rated workshop out of 8

Tony recently delivered a Leadership workshop at our departmental Summer Event. The workshop was well received and was the highest rated of the 8 sessions on the day (scoring 4.53 out of 5). He spent time to understand our needs and his preparation was thorough, he also arrived early to sit in on the earlier session. His session was well pitched, informative and enjoyable.

Some comments from colleagues who left feedback:

  • I could have listened to that chap talk about any topic & I feel it would have been interesting
  • This was amazing!!! Tony was absolutely brilliant. He was the best part of the whole event for me and I really enjoyed it
  • Given that it was only for an hour, it was a really good session (good pace, materials, information, and right amount of practical elements)
  • Speaker was very good, left me feeling I wanted to hear more

Completely captivates his audience

I recently went to see Tony Brooks speak on the importance of optimism in business at a Nottingham University event. The session gave some fascinating insights, based on proven research, along with very practical advice for SME Business Leaders. He is a very engaging, passionate speaker who completely captivates his audience. It is clearly evident that Tony brooks is an expert in the area of Positive Intelligence and how this can be applied to business leadership.

Tony’s style is engaging and inspiring

Tony spoke at our annual Directors’ Briefing in 2016. His talk on the psychology of resilience success and fulfilment was well received by the audience of around 200 East midlands based SME Directors. Tony’s style is engaging and inspiring and he gave delegates plenty to think about when they get back to their desks.

Gave me more practical help and guidance than anything else I’ve picked up over the years

I attended a public speaking training session led by Tony and even though I’ve been delivering training sessions and talks for years, that one session gave me more practical help and guidance than anything else I’ve picked up over the years.

His infectious enthusiasm rubbed off on all the delegates

Tony came to speak to The Business Club early in 2014 on “Making Your Goals & Resolutions Stick Beyond February”. He gave us many practical tips, interspersed with his humorous anecdotes – and his infectious enthusiasm rubbed off on all the delegates. Another professional and enjoyable talk.

Tony delivers with strength of insight, passion and belief

My business produces live events to business and corporate clients. I have heard Tony present three times now and each time he delivers with strength of insight, passion and belief in his content and, perhaps most significantly, with his own views and learnings across a number of fields, including, but not limited to, psychology, culture, mentoring and leadership.

A better sense of direction

I found Tony’s speech extremely interesting and most of all, eye opening. It has made me look at my business, the way I do business and myself in general in a whole new way.

I even woke up this morning, the day after the speech, with a new vigour and spring in my step knowing that I had a better sense of direction.

I am now looking at my 90 day plan and I intend to follow it through because I am confident it will bring me greater success and happiness in my business. I would recommend anyone who has a business to attend Tony’s speech as it will give you some great ideas to help you break bad habits and to give you a whole new mind-set to use each day, leading you to that all important promise of success and happiness.

Tips and insights into positive thinking

I attended Tony’s presentation Success and Happiness in July 2013. I find Tony one of the most positive, upbeat and interesting speakers I have heard in a long time. He is always smiling and that coupled with his tips and insights into positive thinking and how that can make a big impact on both your business and profit levels was very thought provoking. I can highly recommend Tony from what I have seen and heard so far and I look forward to attending more of these in the future.
