Anthony McLean really connects with his audience. He is by far the best speaker I have heard in years. Anthony uses his humour, rapping ability and personality to successfully get his message across to students to get involved and be part of the solution in fighting bullying in our schools. Even several weeks after hearing Anthony, students are still talking about his message and presentation.

This year Anthony presented to the students at Edgewood and the response from staff and students has been overwhelming. His bullying prevention message echoes the values of our Safe Schools team and helps students understand their role in creating a safe and inclusive learning environment. I would recommend him to any school looking for a dynamic, energetic and inspirational speaker.

Since Anthony’s visit, we have been able to use his message when talking with individuals and small groups of students about their relationships with one another. They readily recall Anthony’s words and one of his most important pieces of advice – “if you’re doing nothing, you are part of the problem.” Anthony’s “fun” way of presenting a very serious message truly “engaged” students in the process of bullying prevention. I highly recommend Anthony’s interactive assemblies to everyone. We will be using his song and referring back to his presentations over and over again!

Anthony McLean captures students from the minute he says hello! His messages about inclusivity reach out to students of all ages giving them ways to feel empowered and make changes in their schools. He engages students with his interactive energetic presentation style that informs, enlightens and educates these young people throughout the entire hour! Definitely a presentation worth booking well in advance!

Your presentation was brilliant. The message was clear and empowering. The students loved the audience interaction and the rapping. They said you were the most charismatic speaker they had ever heard. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed it too... a common remark was that if we could all teach like you, no student would ever miss a class! I will definitely be calling on you to return to King!

Anthony's workshops have had a significant impact on our school. He has a profound ability to connect with people and share strategies that help to create a safe environment for all. He was equally impactful while working with parents and members from our community. I would wholeheartedly welcome him back to our school anytime.
Greg Farrell, Principal – Louis-Honore Frechette, YRDSB
Anthony's iEngage presentation was just what I needed as Principal to help move our Character Education/Conflict Resolution initiatives forward. His message around bullying is all about how each and every student can make a difference in their school Community. Anthony's work combines the best of entertainment and education. From Kindergarten to Grade 8 our students were entirely engaged in his presentations.
