Dear Event
Coordinator,
As an organizer for the 2006 Virginia Association of Activities
Professionals (VAAP) Conference, it was my task to locate and
secure keynote speakers. It was during this process that I met
Anthony Cirillo. Mr. Cirillo was our final keynote speaker for the
2006 VAAP Conference in March. His goal was to send this
group out with a final “boost of encouragement” to remind us that
what we do is important and impacts the quality of life for each
resident we work with.
Anthony met and surpassed my expectations through his words
and songs. Mr. Cirillo has a unique method of presentation – he
shares stories and then sings a song appropriate to the point he
is making with each story he relates. This venue reinforces the
positive statements/ ideas he desires to have the audience
members take with them. I found this to be a powerful tool
because often spoken words may touch a nerve at that moment,
while words in a song tend to settle into our minds much longer.
Anthony’s style is comfortable – he is very easy to listen to and
relates well with the people to whom he is speaking. He is able
to engage the audience by singing interactive songs which make
the session entertaining and exhilarating at the same time. There
were multiple occasions when the entire group was on their feet,
singing and clapping and even doing hand motions!
I would recommend Anthony Cirillo as a speaker for any group
as one to encourage and motivate his listeners. His vast
knowledge of songs mixed with a smooth voice and singing style
makes him easy for everyone to enjoy. Your participants/
attendees will leave feeling energized and uplifted by Anthony
Cirillo’s presentation.
Sincerely,
Ginny A. Little
