Tony Chatman

The phrase “He changed my life” has become common place among Tony Chatman's audience members. Tony has the rare gift of immediately connecting with his audience, regardless of age, race, gender or socio-economic background. This connection doesn't take place on the surface where buzz-words and catch-phrases are located. It doesn't occur in that area where motivational phrases and inspirational jargon make their home. It takes place at a person's core, the only place where true, long-lasting change begins. As he begins speaking, audiences are captivated almost immediately and within minutes they begin to change their thoughts, first their perspective and then their thoughts. This opens the door for true change. Although it is true that it takes time for individuals to establish the habits that constitute change, a brief interaction with Tony provides both the perspective and the motivation needed to see for true change to occur. Although all of his messages are motivational, inspirational and informational, the bottom line is that they are all transformational.

Tony Chatman was the second African American to graduate from Western Michigan University with a Paper Science degree. After years in Corporate America he moved into the non-profit sector. There he served as a regional director until he ventured out as a consultant and keynote speaker.

Recently described as a “goldmine” by world famous motivational speaker Les Brown, Tony continues to leave an indelible mark on people around the world. Tony has given over 700 speeches to diverse audiences ranging from 10 to over 5000. He has also personally coached, trained and counseled hundreds of individuals and groups.

Tony’s Biography extends to the Christian community
Tony began serving God full-time in the ministry shortly after leaving Corporate America. During this time, he learned the importance of understanding the human dimension of ministry: the difference between spiritual theory, and how, when and why people respond to the truths presented them. He also developed his ability and love for preaching impacting sermons, deep in accurate scriptural usage and practical life application.

In 1996, Tony was appointed Evangelist. He and his wife led several ministries during the course of their 9 years in full time ministry. These experiences included leading youth ministries, starting successful campus ministries at some of the most prestigious universities in the country, planting churches and overseeing numerous congregations. From each ministry experience, Tony developed a greater appreciation/understanding of various types of people, and grew in his compassion. He especially enjoys counseling marriages, creating and implementing powerful spiritual special events, training lay leaders, and preaching sermons.

Over the past few years, Tony has become highly renown internationally as a motivational and inspirational speaker. Tony recently opened for motivational speaker Les Brown in Bermuda. He has also appeared with activist/television personality Judge Mathis and Illinois State Senator James Meeks. He combines humor, parables and personal stories, along with business theory, behavioral science and years of experience in Christian counseling to provide audiences and businesses with an unforgettable impact.

Tony continues to serve the Church in various ways. He has spoken at marriage and men’s events, counseled married couples, dating couples, and individuals. He also leads a devotional group for married couples that is designed not only to heal hurting relationships through The Word, but to train these couples to be able to help others.

“I found your CD “Ordinary to Extraordinary”; a very informative piece of work and it has a prominent place in my personal development library.
“A personal note:
I believe that it is important to share knowledge with others – and recently I was approached by a friend that has grown weary of her financial situation. I offered my assistance to teaching her some of the systems that I have been using over the last few years to obtain clarity and control of my personal finances. We have yet to discuss the money management system that has worked well for me – but over the last couple of week I have forwarded some of the insights and concepts that I believe if internalized will help her over come years of negative programming and fear. “
The 1st body of work I gave her was Bob Burg’s The Success Formula and the 2nd was your system “Ordinary to Extraordinary”.

Doyle C. Butterfield
