We believe that your sharing will help immensely in the career development of our agents and eventually create a new founding wave of strong leaders.

Nguyen Quang Tam - Deputy CEO
Baoviet Life Corp.

"Thank you for sharing your inspirational anecdotes and to motivate everyone that with determination and believing in yourself we can achieve anything and that the sky is the limit. Often, we do not challenge ourselves. We believe that we cannot do what we are able to do, what we have the potential to do. The words Tony used are ‘mindset’, ‘perceptions’ and ‘believing in yourself’. I think those are really, really very important. So I really want to thank Tony for the most inspiring speech and I'm sure that the messages he gave will last with us for a very long time."

"Tony is simply an amazing speaker. He is an inspiration in his own right but when he addresses an audience, he takes them to places they thought impossible. He is a "must see" speaker. He is world-class and he is as Kiwi as they come. You will forever remember the day you heard Tony Christiansen."
David Nottage - Director
