“Anthony delivered the keynote address for the New Jersey chapter of
the Project Management Institute. His talk was inspirational,
informative, and entertaining. Anthony's life experience and
professional background give him a great foundation for addressing a
group such as ours, which included hundreds of certified Project
Management Professionals. His style kept the audience interested and
the content of his address included many examples of life lessons
that anyone can use, professionally as well as personally. I would
recommend Anthony very highly as a speaker!”

“It
was a pleasure for me to attend Anthony's two seminars at the 24th
NJ PMI Symposium. As an IT professional with a legal, project
management and audit background it was a very informative and
enjoyable event as Anthony covered a great deal of highly relevant
material in a short period of time. My co-workers and I who attended
not only learned more about the working relationships between audit,
finance and accounting professionals but we also learned how to
improve ourselves through building stronger work teams and self
improvement. Although I personally have 24+ credits in accounting
and have worked on GL and accounting systems, the accounting and
business cycle presentation offered new insights into the ERP and
CRM domains and allowed me to view many of the accounting system
concepts in a new light - making them much more meaningful. I highly
recommend those with the opportunity to hear Anthony speak to attend
his seminars - they will not be disappointed. The presentation was
very professional and kept the audience engaged. Anthony made
himself available for questions during the class and breaks -
further adding to the learning experience. Best of luck to Anthony
on his journeys.”

“Anthony Reed conducted a workshop "My Life as a Project" for our
2010 PMI OKC Spring Symposium. A marathon runner, running in races
all over the globe, Mr. Reed, has some interesting life experiences
that he shared during his workshop. This added an unusual, but
relevant comparison between Mr. Reed’s personal life and
professional career. I would recommend Mr. Reed’s workshop. – Victor
Carneiro.”

“I
attended Anthony's half day lecture presentation on Accounting
Basics for Project Managers at the Dayton PMI Chapter last week. His
style is amenable and very effective. The material he presented was
very good, especially the charts depicting business cycles. All in
all, it made the morning fly by while I assimilated a great deal of
information sprinkled with many real life examples and anecdotes
from his experience as a CPA and PMP. I feel very comfortable
recommending Anthony.”

“Anthony presented to the Dayton PMI Chapter for half a day during
our Spring Professional Development Day on Debits & Credits.
Although accounting is not one of those glamorous topics that keeps
people on the edge of their seat, it is an important skill to
project managers. Many people commented that they had take-aways
from the day that were directly applicable in their jobs. Anthony's
scores were high on the satisfaction survey as well. Anthony made
our Professional Development Day a success.”

“I
worked with Anthony as VP of PMI Central Florida Chapter. Anthony
has already been a guest of our chapter twice in the past year and
he is coming back in July for the third time. This tells a lot in
terms of how much our members and I personally enjoyed and learned
from his extensive knowledge and diverse experiences. In addition to
Project Management knowledge, Anthony also offers accounting aspects
of project management, which I find easily neglected in our
industry. I highly recommend Anthony to other chapters. My favorite
is the Marathon speech.”

“The
Project Management North Alabama chapter recently had Mr. Reed speak
to our group. Mr. Reed presented at an evening and lunch event for
our chapter and we had great attendance at both events. The feedback
from our members was tremendous. Members remarked on both the
quality of the presentation and the depth of knowledge that Mr. Reed
possesses. If you are looking for a high caliber speaker and a great
presenter to your group/company, Mr. Reed meets the bill and is
simply fantastic!”

“I
had the pleasure of attending a Dallas PMI chapter dinner where Tony
was the speaker. I enjoyed his presentation on Finding the "I" in
Team so much that I contacted him to speak at my NMA Chapter meeting
the following month at Alcatel-Lucent. He tailored his speech to fit
the audience and time allowance. Comments back from the meeting
were... "I have been to many A-LL meetings and listened to many
speakers. Mr. Anthony Reed is the BEST speaker I have heard. He gave
practical tips and interesting motivational messages." "I love the
motivation behind today’s speech by Tony. It was very inspirational.
I would love to see more." "Excellent, excellent speaker. Mr. Reed
brought a lot of useful info. " I would highly recommend Tony.”

“I
have listened to many speakers, however Anthony is by far the best
speaker I have ever heard. His presentation style, content and
ability to make it pertanent to the group he is addressing is
outstanding. I believe he could talk about anything and would be
well received. I have never had the opportunity to work for or with
him on a project but would volunteer at any time. He is just the
kind of person that you feel honored to be with him.”

“I
feel very fortunate to have worked with Tony Reed as a client and
also to consider him a friend. I don't know of anyone that has a
background like Tony's. He is an exceptional speaker, author of
several books and has run marathons on all seven continents. I
highly recommend Tony to any organization that needs help or
direction in successfully achieving their goals.”

was a consultant or contractor to Anthony at Self Employed
“Mr.
Reed spoke at our PMI chapter luncheon; and I took away more
applicable knowledge from the two day meetings than a weekend of
reading executive management books. Mr. Reed’s has collected his
information from experience in the workforce as an IT lead,
Accountant, and Project Manager. He has collected a toolset from
these experiences that lead to his excelled success. It is good to
learn this granularity of methodology from a person that has
experienced the repercussions from what has worked. Procure Mr.
Reeds tools of success and implement them for a compass to success.”
