We live in a divided country, where one in two adults is lonely. Anthony experienced this loneliness firsthand while at university. He has spent the last decade connecting people.
He speaks about:
✦ How to build connection across differences and find common ground
✦ The benefits of social connection
✦ Why revitalizing our fraying social fabric matters for the health of our society
Key ideas:
We all have a mental health story. Anthony’s story is multifaceted: it includes family history, lived experience, and his work at the forefront of the mental health movement.
He speaks about:
✦ His lived experience with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and panic attacks
✦ The youth mental health crisis and what to do about it
✦ Holistic ways of healing through nature, music, and writing
Key ideas:
We spend an average of six hours per day on digital media. As a teenager growing up in the tech boom, Anthony spent much more than that.
He speaks about:
✦ His lived experience with technology addiction
✦ The harm of social media on youth and adult mental health
✦ How digital technologies impact our humanity
Key ideas:
One in four workers is experiencing severe burnout. Anthony became one of those workers during the pandemic.
He speaks about:
✦ Strategies for building a connected workplace culture where workers are valued as whole people
✦ The emerging field of workplace mental health and well-being
✦ Skills for bridging the cultural divide between generations
Key ideas:
At university, Anthony realized he had no way of navigating the stressors of modern life. Then he found mindfulness, and ten years later, he continues to practice daily.
Anthony speaks about:
✦ The joy of living in the present moment
✦ How to be mindful during everyday “mundane” activities such as cooking, cleaning, or walking
✦ Mindfulness techniques that reduce stress, enhance focus, and increase self-awareness
Key ideas:
“Anthony is truly a compelling speaker! His personal story kept our audience fully engaged from start to finish. He thoughtfully answered questions, giving time to reflect before speaking and also provided practical takeaways that resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. We highly recommend him as a speaker for any event looking to inspire and connect with its audience.”
