Stop Telling Your Story and Become Part of Mine
Shift the conversation and consideration from a transactions sold on price, to a transformation valued on relevance. Tony Chapman’s customized Keynote 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 individuals are starving for attention and relevance, Chapman shows you how you can engage the ‘head, heart and hands’ of any audience – shape how they think, feel and buy.

To do so he takes your audience on an adventure to uncover and then master Storytelling, the most proven and potent platforms for engaging any audience but then adds a remarkable and game-changing twist.

He shows why your customers, employees or investors are the heroes of your story, how to identify the quest they are on, and the role you must play to help them get to where they need to go. From transaction to transformation, from telling your story to becoming part of theirs.

Your audience is the hero, and the end game is their transformation. Your role is to matter to the lives and livelihood of the people that matter most to you. From telling your story to becoming part of theirs. 

Tony Chapman has developed two interactive workshops to provide your audience with hands-on training on how to move the conversation and consideration from a transaction sold on price, to transformation valued on relevance.

Workshop: Purpose-Driven Storytelling

Tony's Storytelling and Creative workshop is designed for teams embarking on marketing, sales or business planning or when holding a management retreat.

Participants first look at the 'Age of Noise', the mindset of the consumer and customer, and the growing challenges of being heard. They establish the potency of storytelling to break through the clutter and how 'Story Creators' craft attention-grabbing content. Workshop attendees learn how purpose-driven brand stories begin, are authenticated through insights, travel in an arc, and why the companies are never the heroes. Tony then demonstrates how these insights can be applied to your business, brands, or even career.

Summary Profile

Tony has delivered inspirational talks at Mobile Conferences in China, Spain, and Brazil, at Tourism Conferences in Poland and Mexico, as well as talking to entrepreneurs, retailers, automotive, tourism and hospitality, pharma and B2B across North America. Rather than specializing in speaking to one sector, Tony chooses to work across many as each provides a unique lens into another. He also does half-day brainstorming sessions with Boards and Leadership teams.  

To prepare and customize each talk Tony does deep dives into his audience’s world and then draws upon his three decades of experience helping Leaders compete.  He uncovers compelling insights that he then ladders into the Big Ideas that are needed to counter the prevailing headwinds.

Audiences consistently give him the highest marks for his passion, persuasiveness and his level of personalization and relevancy.  Tony believes that only by helping his audience get to where they need to go will he engage their ‘head, heart and hands’- and shape how they think, feel and behave. 

In 2008 Tony became one of the youngest individuals to be inducted into the Marketing Hall of Legends, and two national and two international documentaries showcase his approach to branding and strategy. You might also recognize Tony when he was the Judge on Food Network’s Recipe to Riches, the Host of Nissan Innovation Challenge, or currently his ‘Cause and Effect’ Segments across Bell Media.
