Tony was raised by entrepreneurial parents who thrived on identifying and pursuing new opportunities to serve others. Tony's father taught him the powerful principle that has driven Tony's professional and personal life: "Give value; do more than is expected." Exceeding expectations is the common thread that every Tony Jeary client experiences firsthand.

Tony published his first book, Inspire Any Audience in 1995. Other titles written since that first effort include the best selling Simon & Schuster published blockbuster, Life is a Series of Presentations . One of the most prolific business writers in America , Tony Jeary is recognized as one of the world's great authorities on communication and Presentation Mastery™. He is endorsed by many of the authorities in the marketplace including Ken Blanchard, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohm, Stephen Covey, Tom Hopkins, and Mark Victor Hansen. His next signature book, Strategic Acceleration: Succeed at the Speed of Life (being published by Vanguard Press in early 2009), describes his proprietary Strategic Acceleration methodology and shares his theories behind clarity, focus, and execution. Using real world examples and eye-opening exercises, Tony gives his readers exciting insight into getting superior results, faster.

Tony developed his Strategic Acceleration process through his obsession with studying distinctions that characterize top-performing high achievers and organizations. From this study, Tony discovered and proved that the foundational characteristic of great performers was gaining clarity about what they really want and coupling their vision with superior focusing skills and execution strategies.

Tony has been described as a "gifted encourager" who facilitates positive outcomes for others in his role as a strategic collaborator. His list of personal and professional relationships approaches twenty thousand people with whom he connects and nourishes out of his sincere interest in and desire for their success. Tony has personally coached the presidents of organizations including Ford, Wal-Mart, Samsung, EDS, ASTD, New York Life, Firestone, and Sam's Club, to name a few.

Tony has personal experience with both success and failure. He made and lost several million dollars before he was thirty. Today he walks the talk and practices the distinctions that characterize Strategic Acceleration both personally and professionally. He is blessed with a terrific marriage and two great daughters, with whom he has coauthored.
