TESTIMONIALS

“John’s ability to capture an audience is truly unique. On our ‘big day’ not only was he incredibly entertaining and hilariously funny, he was also highly articulate, easy to understand, and as warm and charismatic as they come. John also happens to be a talented musician, so he wowed our guests by effortlessly jumping between comedy, heart felt sincerity and then song, enthusing the crowd throughout the entire journey!
Critical to any bride, John was also exceptionally organised and professional, coming well prepared and highly focused. In fact, so many guests commented that night (and still to this day!) that he was the best MC they have ever seen.”

He is a lovely, natural actor who skilfully divulges the relevant information in a roleplay while improvising and listening well.

“John has been working with the Department of Accounting and Corporate Governance, Macquarie University as trainer, since 2014. He conducts sessions on Presentation Skills and Australian Business Workplace in one of the third year accounting units. The formal and informal feedback I have received from students suggests that students thoroughly enjoy John’s presentations. His delivery is so engaging that students lose all track of time. John is a very effective speaker and educator. He is a great user of humour and stories, with great content. I would highly encourage other non-accounting students to attend.”

The wonderfully engaging, silver-tongued and all round legend, John Anthony created an atmosphere and environment that was all we had hoped for and everything we didn’t know we wanted! For our first big formal event, how important it was to have the right person front and centre, steering the ship and by golly did we find the right Captain. John, thank you.

Thank you John for all your assistance on the day. Not only were you professional and easy to deal with, you spoke very clear and had the guests engaged the whole time which is what we loved.
Furthermore you also helped manage our formalities and made sure they were done on time, which made our night flow seamlessly.
We were blown away with the creativity and the effort you went to! It’s for this reason I have absolutely no issues referring you to each and every person I know looking for a MC. Thank you for making our dream wedding become a reality!”

“I had the pleasure of working with John when I first moved into a facilitation role with CBA in 2005. Being new to the world of Learning & Development at the time, I needed considerable coaching, support and guidance. John took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew – from how to complete a training needs analysis and manage stakeholders, to developing high quality learning solutions and facilitating with style! After 11 years+ working in Learning & Development, I can still say John is the most energetic and engaging facilitator I have ever worked with. His facilitation style is unlike any other, striking the perfect balance between animated humour and professionalism, and allowing his participants to truly enjoy the learning experience!”
