About Tony

Where Tony speaks most freely

Tony Child has spent most of his working life helping people take the next step. He worked about 15 years in banking, then founded Elevated Worldwide, and he speaks regularly to businesses, schools and community groups.

Tony is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the talks closest to his heart are the ones where he can speak openly about the Savior. Two convictions run through everything he teaches: a grateful heart changes what we see, and the Lord can light a fire in anyone willing to move forward in faith.

He teaches from the scriptures and the words of living prophets, with real stories and some laughter along the way. Tony lives in Utah.

Messages I share

Two themes, shaped for your group

Every talk is built around one of two themes and fitted to the people in the room. Tell me your theme or the needs you're praying about, and I'll prepare for them.

Gratitude

Seeing the Lord's hand in all things, especially the hard ones.
