“To me, In order to help others, we must help ourselves first. In order to make others strong, we must be strong first. We are always told on an airplane that we must give ourselves the oxygen mask first before helping others put theirs on. Since Anthony has mastered his own personal and professional level of development, this allows him to motivate and help others to do the same.”

“My experiences with Anthony Baird and his product as a career and life coach/ motivational speaker are as follows-
After meeting Mr. Baird for the first time on campus at UMass Dartmouth I could tell he had a gift for what he does. Not only is he extremely educated and experienced in what he does, but he has the natural gift and instinct to help and motivate others. He is always pushing others to become the best version of themselves. After every conversation with Mr. Baird, I felt motivated and cared for. He is heavily passionate about what he does and he is constantly trying to motivate and inspire others, whether this is on or off the clock. He gives without hesitation and expects nothing in return. He has taught me about personal and professional empowerment and how important it is. He is incredible at what he does.”

“Career and Life Coach: He manages to deliver professionalism and confidence as a Career and Life Coach while simultaneously exemplifying authenticity and a genuine desire for you to succeed. Call this the ultimate competitive advantage. Continually looking for ways to improve himself giving you confidence that what he has to offer is timely and relevant. After only a few weeks, my personal and professional goals have experienced accelerated progress and I feel better prepared for networking events, interviews and applying to jobs/internships.
Motivational Speaker: A conversation with Dr. Baird never fails to be colorful and enjoyable. When he speaks he offers a contemporary perspective of the world that is both limitless and attainable, awakening your aspirations and helping you focus them. Thanks to his services, even as a diffident individual, I have come to the revelation that I am Eppic.”

“Here is my statement about the experience I have had with you as a Career and Life Coach:
My experience has been that Anthony does not give me the answers to my problems, situations, and/or challenges right off the bat. He has instead thought me to think through the process, to evaluate the situation, to question what I really want, and to understand what I want to get out of a challenge/situation. What I have understood is that this is done on purpose so that I can use the same tactics on the next challenge, rather it be related to my career or personal life. What makes it great is that most of the time I have been able to apply the same strategy in many different situations, and in turn I have learned what to apply, or not, on my next challenge. When/if it gets really hard then I do find myself going back to him, and he just reminds me to not be afraid to apply what I have learned from him (yet another process). A lot of times we just want the answers to be handed to us, but if Anthony was to do that, then I wouldn’t be able to find my way in situations where maybe he can’t be present, and I am grateful for that. Hearing Anthony speak motivates me to get through it all, which is part of the reason I reach back out to him from time to time. After all hearing him speak is also part of the wonderful work he does, if not the best part.”

“Dr. Anthony Baird is one of the most influential people I’ve ever met during my collegiate experience at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. During my freshman year, I was in dying need of a mentor who I could run to for guidance and support. Dr. Baird is truly the representation of a mentor who goes above and beyond of what’s expected. I’ve been privileged to personally experience Dr. Baird play other roles as a career coach and life coach.
What sets Dr. Baird apart from a typical motivational speaker is that his words don’t motivate you for the moment, but a lifetime. He is a man of great wisdom and authenticity. In so many situations, Dr. Baird has given me well rounded advice that I apply to my day to day activities. During my lowest points and moments of uncertainty, Dr. Baird was always there to help me get back on my feet.
One of my greatest memories of Dr. Baird was during a time when I was losing hope in myself and my ability to pull through. He re-introduced me to a book called “Strengths Finder 2.0.” This book challenged the way I perceived myself and encouraged me to find strength within my weaknesses. Above all, it taught me to stop worrying about how to fix my flaws and put that energy into maximizing my strengths. Dr. Baird always emphasized the importance of speaking positively into my life and avoiding statements such as “I can’t do it” or “I give up.” By practicing positive affirmation, I have been able to withstand times when I thought I’d never see the light in the tunnel. Thank you Dr. Baird for having absolute faith in me.”

He Motivates me strive and be the best version of myself. He inspires me to think about the steps I take and, which ones would lead me to a successful career. Dr. teaches me to be a better person & a better leader, especially how to deal with people and/or to handle any situations in any organization or from diverse backgrounds. Personally, listening to Anthony bring God in certain conversations, motivates me to stand for what I believe in!”

“‘Without a struggle, there’s no progress.’ ~Frederick Douglas
Dr. Anthony Baird embodies this quote. He will take you to the edge of your comfort zone, and give you a gentle nudge. As a speaker, he understands the struggle of connecting and being relatable to a large audience. As a life coach he is respectful enough to provide guidance, and let the new paradigm unfold. After working with Anthony, I was motivated and inspired to face my next obstacle with the knowledge that I CAN accomplish any goal set before me.”

“Dr. Anthony, I have no words on where to begin. I believe the real English definition of the name Anthony should be Inspiration and motivation.
Moving here from Nigeria with nobody physically present to motivate me to keep striving. Anthony was the only help I could find. Hearing Anthony speak is enough to keep you strong. He is very confident and knows exactly what he is saying. It’s almost like a custom-made human that know what to say at the appropriate time. It all made sense when I found out he was a motivational speaker and a career coach. For someone engaged in so much with very little time, I find it very interesting how he’s able to attend to every individual that needs his help. He is patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and most of all very empathetic.
If you ever feel like you aren’t doing as much as you should, call Anthony. By the time you leave his office, you’ll feel like you can be the next President of America.”
