2. STOPTELLINGYOURSTORY,
BECOMEPARTOFMINE
“Cutting edge insights and strategic advice,
great energy. Tony Chapman knocks it out of the park.”
—Tim Hudak. CEO OREA
Tony Chapman’s customized Keynote, Stop Telling
Your Story – Become Part of Mine, will inspire and
motivate your audience with his cutting-edge insights,
ideas and passion. In this ‘Age of Noise’ when so
many brands, businesses and people are starved for
attention, Tony shows you how you can engage and
persuade the ‘Head, Heart and Hands’ of the people who
matter most to you. How they think, feel and behave.
To do so, he takes your audience on an adventure
to uncover and then master Storytelling, the most
proven and potent platform for earning the attention
of an audience, but then adds a remarkable and
game-changing twist.
He shows why the people who matter most to you
are the Heroes of the story, and that each is on a
personal quest to fulfil their needs; to achieve
Safety and Security, to realize Love and Belonging,
to Find Purpose and for the very fortunate to
achieve Self-Actualization.
Tony then draws upon market proven case studies to
show how you can earn their attention, establish a
meaningful role in their quest, shift the conversation
and consideration from what you offer to enabling their
life and livelihood. The ‘why’ you matter.
Speaking Reel
Shift the conversation from Transactions to
Transformation. From what you offer to how it can
transform your customer’s life and livelihood.
3. CONFERENCEHOSTAttention is the oxygen of any conference. Attention breathes the
opportunity to inspire, motivate, educate, celebrate and collaborate
with your audience.
The challenge in this ‘Age of Noise’ is that there is too much and too
many competing for a finite amount of time. We are asking humans
to drink from a firehose, and too much content is spilled on the floor.
Even in a conference setting, where the audience is captive, they are
becoming more conditioned to filter out versus take in, and to rely on
their screens to maintain contact with the outside world.
As your Conference Host or Narrator, Tony can play a pivotal role in
ensuring that your key messages are being heard and absorbed.
He is there to ‘set the table’ with a Customized Opening Keynote
and to reinforce the key themes of your conference.
Tony draws upon his three decades of experience as a communications
expert and his past five years as a contributor and host on National
Television and Radio, to be your ‘third party’ expert and validator
who can ask your plenary speakers, after their talk, the questions
they want to answer. The goal is to ‘spike’ their key messages, in
an interactive and engaging session, while continuing to weave the
central theme and creative promise.
“Tony brought great strategic vision to our Inaugural
Marketing Conference and had a strong role in content
creation and curation. He maintained an inspiring level
of energy & focus as he hosted our entire day.”
—Gerry MacKrell, SVP Sales Corus
Tony Chapman asks the questions your Speakers want to answer.
4. Tony is a sought after Moderator due to his
preparation on the subject matter, his opening
remarks where he sets the goal and audience
takeaway, his style where he favours asking
individual over group questions, and his wrap up
where he synthesizes the key learnings.
He can moderate a panel of your Senior
Leaders, Outside Experts Thought Leaders or
a session on Disruptors.

5. WORKSHOPCREATOR&
FACILITATOR
Tony has created three interactive workshops
to provide your audience with hands-on
experience in how to shift the conversation
from what you do to why it matters.
Disruptor Workshop
In Disruptors your audience is divided into teams. Each team is assigned a Business to
Consumer or Business to Business product or service that disrupted the marketplace
and achieved profitable share gain. They must then apply the principles learned in the
opening keynote – Hero, Calling, Quest, Enabler, Desired Outcome and create a story to
show how they realized their success.
Head, Heart and Hands – Why Perception is Reality
Half of the teams create a concept board to illustrate how they feel they are currently
perceived by clients, while the other half create a board on how they are perceived. Boards
are then shared, followed by discussions based on the filter ‘Head, Heart and Hands’.
Who is your Yoda?
In this workshop, each person identifies someone in their life who played a transformative
role in helping them find and pursue their path in life. We call upon some to share their
stories followed by a discussion on the attributes of people who play a transformative role.
