Speaking Accolades

“Anthony J.W. Benson was featured in a live performance of my Los Angeles-based spoken word event, “Tasty Words” offering from his heart his keynote “Walking Out of the Fire.” His powerful presentation tackled sobriety and drug addiction, overcoming adversity, and living a life of service and purpose. I witnessed over 300 audience members enraptured, hanging on his every word of hope and humility. It was truly breathtaking and life-affirming. I highly recommend Anthony for any speaking event or interview, especially where courage, motivation, and inspiration are welcomed.”

“Anthony has a remarkable ability to place his audience right in the moment. Very few people really know what agony any addict goes through, and I felt as if I was with him at every significant period of a dramatic, intense search for self. He truly speaks from the heart, without apology, and without quasi self-analysis. This is a real experience; he lived it, he fought with it, he won. I walked away from his talk a different person after hearing Anthony.”

“Dear Anthony, Thank you for speaking with my group of students at Wheeling High School. Your vast life experiences provided my high school students with a learning opportunity. You addressed very personal, real, and difficult situations that are relevant to my students’ lives and perhaps similar in some ways to their own lives.

Through your openness and honesty, they can take what you gave them to look at their own lives, past and present, and make choices that will empower them for a lifetime. So, again, I truly appreciate the time, energy, and talents you shared with us.”

Janet Aschenbrener | Teacher, Wheeling High School

“Dear Anthony, I wanted to personally thank you for your riveting and inspiring presentation at the Prospect Heights Park District. Your story is truly amazing, and I am glad that you are willing to share so many of your profound and intimate moments with complete strangers. I was especially touched when you confided in us and began to share the spiritual awakening you were so honored to receive. As a result, I now feel closer to God, my family, and my friends. Once again, thank you for sharing with us, and I look forward to seeing you again one day.”

“Anthony J.W. Benson is a speaker who opens his heart to his audience. He speaks from the bitter experience of his own life. Still, He reveals the transformation, which can occur when love replaces bitterness and hope replaces despair. His intriguing life story is also a mirror reflection of aspects of our lives and helps us come to terms with our own fears in reaching that place where love reigns supreme. He does this with compassion and humor and imparts wisdom and understanding that come from the stuff of life.”

Peter Longley | Former Cruise Director for Queen Elizabeth II, International Travel Lecturer, and author of Two Thousand Years Later
