Toastmasters International Convention, Miami, FL

"Best I've Heard World-Wide!" 
 
Tony Brigmon ...
 
I have just finished listening to my tape of your "Are We Having Fun Yet' (2000 Toastmasters International presentation) for the fourth time, and have got to say you are the best I've ever heard world-wide! 
 
Just everything you say and do is just brilliant...
 
If you are ever down Sydney way...and why wouldn't you be with your dollar buying two of ours...I would love to accommodate and chauffeur around you, your wife and any/all of your six children.

Meeting Planner for District Conference of Toastmasters International, Oakland, CA

"Message Helped Us Set A Wonderful Tone For The Day And Left Everyone Feeling GREAT!"

What We Wanted:
We booked the Western Aerospace Museum as our Veteran's Day venue and planned an aeronautic theme-meeting dubbed MOMENTUM: Taking Flight! We considered powerful, heroic, solemn and inspiring keynote speakers. We also wanted atop-notch professional speaker who embodied our intended merriment.

What We Got:
Tony had EVERYTHING we wanted and he met our needs in every way. His message helped us set a wonderful tone for the day and left everyone feeling GREAT! After an enthusiastic standing ovation, they literally danced into the rest of the activities, smiled, and greeted each other warmly throughout the day. 


One fantastic result: EVERYONE in the group was IRRESISTIBLY attractive for the rest of the day! The reviews were superb. We couldn't have asked for more. Tony helped make EVERYTHING else we wanted to accomplish that day easier.

Meeting Planner for Toastmasters International District Conference, Oakland, CA

"BY FAR, The Best Speaker I've Ever Brought In!"

What We Wanted:
Our 185 male and female communicators came to the Fall Conference to be entertained, informed and transformed by the magic of the Toastmasters experience. Much of this responsibility falls to our keynote speaker, who sets the tone and the standard for ensuing presenters throughout a day of educational sessions, contests, and recognition speakers. We wanted a speaker who was FUN for the audience, professional, accomplished and had a tie-in to our site, at an aerospace museum.

What We Got:
Tony Brigmon was INCREDIBLE. He surpassed all expectations for what a keynote can do for an event.

Not only was Tony FUN for the audience, he was fun to plan with. His well conceived web site, clarity on his own needs, and flexibility in helping us have the most successful experience made him, BY FAR, the best speaker I've ever brought in. (I've brought speakers to NSA and MPI events and can tell you unequivocally that Tony was phenomenal to work with.)

Audience members throughout the day told me he was the best speaker we'd brought to the District in many, many years. They found him credible, likeable and believable. Tony helped our attendees feel better about themselves and their jobs. He gave us coping techniques and left smiles on all our faces.

His gentle demeanor, clean humor and genuine delivery made him accessible, applaudable and most recommendable. What a prince. From his innovative introduction to his music and stories, we were hooked.

My recommendations to planners, just don't make the mistake I made of booking his return flight before audience members could meet him personally and connect further with Tony after he came off stage.

In my book, Tony Brigmon will always be The Ambassador of Fun! Thank you Tony, for helping our momentum take flight at the Western Aerospace Museum. You were fabulous.
