The collection of actions in the workplace is called culture. When done right your company's culture brings out the best in our people and employees are aligned with their work, have purpose and a sense of belonging. Employees are inspired, engaged, challenged and they thrive.
Happy employees are thriving employees who lead authentically, lean into greater challenges and achieve more than their less happy peers.
When your culture is toxic there is no alignment between ro
les and strengths, employees aren't connected to their colleagues and they can't be their authentic self. Leadership disappears as does any connection to purpose and sense of belonging. An employee's deep desire to thrive is replaced with a desire to survive.
If you feel like there is something off about your culture and if you are struggling with communication, leadership and cooperation your culture needs a reset.
Through our Focus on the 40© programs Anthony engages his audiences with his high-energy and high-impact approach to get teams inspired to change and focused on the habit-forming tools to ensure inspiration leads to habits and habits lead to results.
Everyone wants to be seen, heard, valued, respected and appreciated.
Those "Oh, wow. Now I get it" moments from his clients turn into transformative dialogues that create the culture you've always wanted to create.
The result is happier and productive teams and happier people are successful people.
Our ideal clients are committed to more than a "one-off" training and culture as dynamic and constantly being shaped and thus commit to an ongoing investment in building a culture your employees will rave about.
Topics include: Transformative Communication, High-Trust Culture, Sustaining Happiness and Motivation, Self-Authoring Leadership, Character Strengths in Action
Industries in Anthony's Area of Expertise: Corrections, Probation, Law Enforcement, Transit, Non-Profit, Environmental, Youth Development

Verified @western.eduJoyful and authentic! Anthony Poponi was a featured speaker for Western's annual Family Weekend. His presentation on brain chemistry and joy was a standout for the weekend. He delighted our guests with personal anecdotes, humor and a sprinkling of good ol' academia. He knocked it out of the park! If you have an opportunity to invite Anthony to speak at one of your events, do it; he won't disappoint!

Verified @outlook.comOur organization went wild for Anthony! Anthony was on the mark with his program and kept the entire room engaged throughout his program. He was so inspiring that Altrusa wants to talk to him about presenting in Quebec City at our 2020 International Convention. Awesome job! Even some of the "stuffiest" older ladies said he gave them something they will take with them and use every day!

Verified @lsfnet.orgI had the privilege to hear Anthony speak live, and I do not use the term lightly. He is an incredible speaker and blended information from his expertise with humor exquisitely. I loved watching him speak. In personal communication with Anthony, I told him his speaking was like watching a stand-up comedy show (something I do rather often) where I learned something. He spoke on his "Focus on the 40" philosophy. If you're considering Anthony for your event, stop considering and book him. You won't regret it.

Verified @nmba.orgAnthony was better than I expected. I had never hired a motivational speaker for our convention. Anthony was the star of the convention. He reached out to people who knew our industry and he did his homework well. He kept a room of 150 broadcasters entertained and engaged. Our broadcasters are a jaded and difficult group to please, Anthony was perfect. We have booked him for other events. Hire him you will not be disappointed.
