Anthony Fasano, P.E.

Lead Instructor

Globally recognized entrepreneur, best-selling author, speaker and engineering career coach. Today's competitive global engineering marketplace requires an engineer to build his or her career in a way that's truly remarkable, unmistakable, and valuable. No one knows this better—and no one can teach this better—than Anthony Fasano, P.E.

One day, as a young engineer, Anthony realized that most successful engineers have both good technical skills and dynamic soft or interpersonal skills. After realizing that and developing his non-technical skills, Anthony went on to become an associate at a very reputable engineering firm at the young age of 27.

At that time, Anthony decided that his goal was to help all engineers develop their non- technical skills and become better-rounded and in a position to achieve all of their career goals and dreams. He has since attended one of the top-ranked executive coaching schools and now focuses on helping engineers and engineering organizations grow and succeed. He has spent years building the Engineering Management Institute (previously known as The Engineering Career Coach).

In addition to his coaching and speaking credentials, Anthony is also an author. He is the author of Engineer Your Own Success: 7 Key Elements to Creating an Extraordinary Engineering Career. He is also the host of the popular iTunes podcasts: The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, The Civil Engineering Podcast, and most recently Engineering Career TV.

Anthony is now an industry-recognized inspirational platform speaker on the topics of career advancement, business growth and development and leadership. He is the expert to turn to when you are ready to realize your career goals and dreams.
