I’ve been fortunate to call Tony a friend for several years, something I genuinely value.
So when I decided to work on a new career goal and reposition myself on the job market, I couldn’t think of anyone more qualified, nor better aligned with my very high standards (being a coach myself), to accompany me through that process.
Tony has the ability to cut through noise with the right questions.
Two of his, in particular, stayed with me throughout our work together:
“What’s the cost of stagnation?”
“Can you afford to be in the same spot next year?”
They are simple, confronting, and incredibly effective.
What made the biggest difference in my career project was the way Tony empowered me to adapt my communication style without losing authenticity.
I especially value his unique approach to sales psychology: subtle, emotionally intelligent, and rooted in human behaviour rather than tactics. He empowered me to articulate my value with clarity, confidence, and precision in a way that felt aligned, not performative.
I acknowledge Tony’s genuine commitment to his clients’ growth: he holds you to the level you say you want to perform at. The impact of our work together is tangible, and it’s not the last project I’ll be working on with him.
I recommend Tony without hesitation and I’m so grateful to call him my friend.
I had the privilege of working with Tony as my executive coach, and I can say without hesitation that the experience has been transformative.
Tony brings a level of depth and credibility that is rare. He’s a seasoned executive who truly understands leadership and sales from years of real-world application, not theory. His guidance is grounded, practical, and immediately usable.
From the start, he approached our work with structure and intention.He gathered feedback from my peers and leaders, then shaped our discussions around the areas that mattered most for my growth. His sessions on leadership styles, executive presence, and managing up were particularly impactful. Tony has a gift for using stories, research, and lived experience to make concepts clear and actionable.
One of the things I valued most was his generosity with his time. The short, ad-hoc conversations before critical moments — a review with my leader, an executive presentation, or a sensitive meeting — were incredibly valuable. Those exchanges helped me sharpen my message, refine my presence, and show up with confidence.
By the end of our engagement, I felt genuinely equipped to communicate as an executive: able to adapt, pivot, and deliver effectively in any situation. It was a noticeable shift in both capability and confidence.I consider myself fortunate to have met Tony. He is one of those rare individuals who leaves a lasting mark on your career and how you show up as a leader. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their executive communication and unlock the next stage of their leadership journey.
Tony was recommended to me through a friend and fellow salesperson at a time where I was not performing at my best — in fact, far from it.
Tony was INSTRUMENTAL to transforming my mindset, my understanding of sales, and my approach to understanding and solving problems at work. He draws on a wealth of experience from his own sales career and concepts from sales psychology and applies them to your unique situation to help you achieve your goals. Every session, I came away with new tools and a new way of thinking about my role and decisions that helped me move forward.
Specifically, Tony helped me and my team understand, use, and adapt our communication styles, and his tools helped us communicate better with one another and our leadership by highlighting our wins, our progress, and where we need help to succeed. We were able to better step into the shoes of our leadership and create wins for them.
Most importantly, Tony is an incredibly-positive person with lots of personality and a fantastic guy to talk to! Every session we had was full of smiles and laughter and I came out of it not just thinking about the future, but being EXCITED to take on a new challenge. He also made himself available to answer any questions or advise on unexpected events that came up outside of our scheduled sessions together and made it clear that I could reach out at any time.
After having worked with Tony, I find myself reflecting more on my wins, being more calm in the face of challenges, and thinking more about how I can succeed through action.
I would recommend Tony to anyone that is facing a challenge and needs that coach in their corner to shift their perspective and give them the guidance they need to grow in the right direction!
The work that Tony does is truly life changing. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony through the Women In Tech Sales Bootcamp. Above all, Tony is a passionate coach who helps his clients realize and unleash their full potential. He is genuine and goes above and beyond for his clients. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to transition into tech and received my top job choice. Tony earns my highest recommendation.
After spending 20 years in the financial services industry, just over a year ago I found myself without a job. Tony, a longtime friend and mentor, coached me through the change and continued to instill in me the confidence required through challenges like the one I had been presented with. He had actually identified years earlier the path he knew fit me best. Everyone around me knew this as well. It was as though he was putting the final touches on the career I had always deserved. I would not be where I am today without his unwavering support and guidance. I am now in a career that I always wanted, but didn’t have the confidence to believe I could succeed. I am beyond grateful to Tony for his commitment to my success.
Tony has been my Executive Coach for about 1 year. With a consistently inspiring and effective coaching style, he helped me to uncover behaviors that I need to adjust for an impactful career growth!
Using a 360 survey on my current colleagues, after some decoding, Tony guided me to develop an effective and specific Action Plan on strategic mindset, communication & leadership and relationship building. For example, on communication, I learned a framework to tell memorable and impactful stories naturally at work.
I would recommend Coach Tony without reservation!
Tony is a charismatic leader that empowers future leaders to plot their own direction with confidence. Tony was instrumental in developing me into the Operations Support Officer role, as he has been with many others at RBCI. I first met Tony during one of the university business case competitions; DECA. I was the competitor and Tony alongside his colleagues were my judges. At the end of our presentation, Tony leveraged radical candour to provide us with feedback and coach us towards becoming better presenters. He did this even though he had never met us prior. His words obviously resonated with me and a short few months later I started my internship at RBCI. His unmatched dedication to young people, coaching them into success stories is a true asset and deserving of my recommendation.
Strong business acumen is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Tony. Tony is a passionate leader who truly exemplifies excellence in execution. I had the pleasure of working with Tony in both direct sales and sales effectiveness environments and I was very impressed by his unique ability to energize individuals to deliver high performance. As a senior sales leader and coach, Tony earns my highest recommendation.
Tony is an engaging and inclusive leader who consistently drives success by creating clear and challenging objectives, and facilitating a highly focused team effort to execute with excellence and discipline. He has great integrity as a leader, providing honest feedback and unwavering support to his team and colleagues. I have had the pleasure of working with Tony over many years in several different relationships. That experience has helped me grow and I would highly recommend Tony as a coach and for senior leadership roles.
I have known Tony for the better part of 16 years. He is an astute leader who pays attention to detail and challenges you to be your best self continually.
I first met Tony at a regional DECA event for my university. He gave a talk on the importance of confidence and believing in yourself and your abilities. I later reached out to Tony on LinkedIn when I was looking for a job. As someone who did not come from the field of tech/IT it was quite a daunting process to look for, and apply for jobs. Tony was kind enough to mentor me over the course of a few months. He took the time to review my resume and gave me pointers on aspects of it that I should improve. He gave me advice on enhancing my LinkedIn profile, including adding keywords and relevant experience. With Tony‘s help, I was able to land a full-time job! Tony is incredibly gracious with his time as he continues to follow-up and check on the progress of my career. I am grateful for all his help.
I’ve known Tony for about 15 years, since we were both at RBC. At the time, he was a VP in sales and I was a VP in risk and capital management. He was a great collaborator and a highly respected and valued colleague in the workplace.
I’ve followed Tony’s work as an executive coach, and have always been impressed with the wisdom and insights he shares online. Recently, when my organization, the Society of Actuaries, was seeking a keynote speaker and workshop leader for our “Candidate Connect” event on business relationship development for 64 young professionals in Toronto, I recommended Tony.
I knew that his core focus is on executive coaching, but wow – what great relational and practical insights he had for people just starting out in their careers! And in such an engaging way! If he decides to do more of that, count me in as a reference and advocate. I never offer that unless I truly believe it, but I have no hesitation in giving him the highest kudos!
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with Tony for almost half a year now. Tony was the first recommendation brought forth to me when I was looking for mentorship to elevate my communication and confidence.
While working with Tony, I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was as his years of leadership and mentoring radiated in the way he conducted himself. What stuck out the most to me was that he always ensured he provided the environment for me to arrive at my own answers, which has had a profound impact to my success and has helped reveal my potential to become a great leader.
The mentorship I received has been one of the most valuable experiences I’ve received. My success this year can be directly attributed to the foundation he helped build with me.
Tony is genuinely committed to your results and success, and that’s why Tony is the first person I recommend when it comes to leadership mentorship.
I am fortunate to have known Tony for almost a year now. After being laid-off from a long-term Management position, I was searching for a tried and true business coach – somebody to teach me about effective communication, relationship building, and to help with my confidence, particularly when ‘managing up’. I chose Tony due to his posts on LinkedIn, noticing his positive and practical manner and his real-world experience working various senior leadership roles.
Tony has a solid understanding of people and business. After a couple of quick meetings to familiarize him with my industry and my role, and to assess strengths, potential blind spots, and desired areas of focus, we made good progress. Tony comes to the meetings well prepared and is adept at providing honest feedback constructively. He provides non-intimidating insight, perspective gained from years of leadership experience, bringing real-world solutioning to our discussions.
Do not expect the usual one-way street with Tony – working with him will require introspect, thought, and homework between meetings. However, this is what sets apart a worthwhile coach from the others – action, accountability, and teamwork. Tony has helped me in my pursuit of improvement and I provide my highest recommendation for him.
Tony is an impactful leader with a highly refined set of communication, mentorship, and emotional intelligence skills that have led to his success as an industry leader, coach, and consultant. I have been mentored and coached by Tony in both a group and one-on-one setting for the past few years now. Tony’s ability to deliver inspiring comments, constructive criticism, and honest feedback allows a person to feel empowered and equipped with the right tools to successfully reach their goals after a coaching session. His experience in sales, consultancy, and judging DECA competitions allows him to help individuals navigate intergenerational divides across a variety of industries. Tony is also an impactful speaker, as he tailors the content, delivery, and communication style of his speeches based on his audience. Furthermore, he is always keeping up with new theories and industry trends in order to better help his clients and mentees reach their goals more effectively.
