comment on MICHAEL BROOME’S messages on

attitude, service, sales, and leadership.
“Four-hundred and sixty of our highest achievers and their spouses loved every minute of your wonderfully crafted speech. The
MGM Grand should forever be emblazoned in your memory as the place you received the longest standing ovation of your life.
Speakers don‟t deserve all the credit however - let‟s leave a little for the guy who had the genius to hire you.”
F. E. Sennot, CEO – Transamerica Financial Services
“Comments were made to me such as „That was the best speaker I have ever heard,‟ „Michael Broome was the highlight of our
corporate retreat,‟ and from our corporate pessimist „He wasn‟t bad.‟ You were clearly a hit and were an important part of making
our retreat the most successful one we‟ve had. Thank you very much for speaking to us and feel free to use me as a reference.”
Bob Howard – Sr. Managing Director – Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin
“Michel Broome was fantastic. I want to thank you for sponsoring what turned out to be the most popular speaker of the meeting!
I‟ve received at least a dozen e-mails and voicemails commenting on how great he was.”
Daniel Herrick, Vice President – Morgan Stanley
“Your performance kept the audience enthralled for the entire two hours and, afterwards, many of them stated they wanted more.
Your presentation was inspirational, motivational, and humorous. We were more than pleased, and impressed, and I cannot
overemphasize the high quality of accolades received on your behalf.”
Linda Cox, Executive Assistant – TranSouth Financial
“After listening to you make the audience laugh, become enthralled and think for the first fifteen minutes, I wondered how you would
be able to keep up the enthusiasm for another seventy-five minutes. Well, you did that and more. I pitied the poor guy that
followed you. You promised me results and you more than kept that promise.”
Leo E. Strine, Sales Congress Chairman – Financial House
“I very much enjoyed your presentation for Merrill Lynch; more importantly my clients and
prospective clients found value in it. One of my clients, who attends many of our affairs, said he
thought it was the best we had offered and his guests were similarly impressed. His wife said that
„restored my faith‟. So, good job!”
Bob Gehbauer, Wealth Management Advisor – Merrill Lynch
“It was definitely a challenge for you to follow our Annual Compliance Meeting. You lifted our
representatives‟ spirit with your humor while providing a valuable message that we know they took
with them. Our goal was to end the conference on a high note and that is exactly what you helped
us provide. Thank you.”
Matthew Bogan, VP Marketing/Communications -- CJM Financial Services
“Compliments to you for your great sense of balance between message and humor! It was easy to
see that, after hours of meetings, the group really appreciated sharing your insights while being
able to laugh throughout your talk.”
Christine K. Thompson, CMP -- Signet Financial Services
“When I looked around the room, all I saw were smiles. That‟s when I knew that we had chosen the right speaker. We couldn‟t
have been more pleased and satisfied with your presentation. The stories you shared hit home with our members. Most likely,
they will recall your very relevant antidotes when they resume slaying their daily dragons back at the office.”
Marianne Fazen, Ph.D., Executive Director -- SouthWest Benefits Association
“You performed just as your promotional material indicates -- You entertained and touched people‟s lives. I not only appreciated
your excellent presentation, but I also appreciated the time you took to discuss our conference needs and business ahead of time,
your promptness, and your courtesy.”
Joyce Tegtmeier, Project Manager -- J.P. Morgan Chase
“It‟s not too often you get a motivational speaker that has such phenomenal feedback. You usually get the „He was okay‟ and the
„He was pretty good,‟ but you, Michael, you get the „This guy was funnier than Seinfeld, and I actually learned something at the
same time‟ and „he is the best speaker I have seen in years.‟ Not too shabby!”
Kathy Kinslow Leckey, Vice President, Director, National Accounts -- AXA Distributors

… a very powerful message from a very humorous man

over 3,000 audiences since 1980

“I was a nervous wreck, since it was I who prevailed on our CEO to book you for our closing speaker. You didn‟t let me down. I
had so many FAs tell me that you were the best speaker we have ever booked. Your presentation was so insightful that many of
our registered representatives felt a personal tug on their heart. That is not an easy thing to do with a group as diverse and driven
as independent financial advisors tend to be.”
Joan Rohleder, Conference Coordinator – Packerland Brokerage Services
“We look long and hard for speakers that will connect with our people. You did that and then some. We really do watch hours of
video and do check references. All your references spoke so highly of you, I began to wonder if you were too good to be true. I
can only say that you exceeded my expectations. Our attendees were held captive just waiting to hear what you were going to say
next. I have received many compliments from our Reps and staff as to how much they enjoyed your speech and how much your
speech hit home. I am sure you will see me and our Reps again.
Jeff McAnarney, Sr VP – VSR Financial Services
“The results of the session evaluations have been tabulated. On a scale of 1-4, you scored an average of 4.0 and received many
strongly favorable comments. Thanks for lending your time and expertise in helping to make this year‟s conference one of the best
yet.”
David Wray, President – Profit Sharing Council of America
“Fantastic, awesome, wonderful, incredible and motivational are a few of the adjectives that we have heard describe your
presentation at our Direct Marketing and Services recognition ceremony. Many of our people were amazed at the way you were
able to incorporate our values into your presentation. Your words of encouragement will inspire us all to excel as we face the many
challenges of the new millennium – and remember to laugh at ourselves along the way.”
Donna Byers, Senior VP – American Century Investments
“Your presentation at my client event was a huge success, and the feedback I received from my clients and business partners was
excellent. Together we were able to solidify existing relationships, spark new prospect's interests and renew energy & enthusiasm
for Spina Financial Services!”
Jim Spina, President – Spina Financial Services/Woodbury Financial Services
“On behalf of our firm, I just wanted to pass on an enthusiastic “THANK YOU” for the amazing speech you gave to our clients. You
have set the bar VERY high for us and we‟re not quite sure how to get there next year. I really appreciated the insight and
encouragement you gave to us as financial advisors. It‟s easy to lose track of the importance of our job when we‟re dealing with
the daily minutia, but your talk reminded me of why I LOVE my job and the importance it can play in God‟s epic story.”
Nathan Reusser, LPL – Retirement Legacy/Michigan Financial

There’s No People Like Sales People

45-90 minute program
 This presentation is designed for financial advisors and or their managers 

Since 1787, our nation has survived 23 recessions, 3 depressions, a civil war, and 2 world wars. Logic dictates that we
will also survive our present economic calamity. The fact is, we should always be prepared for adversity; it is the price
we pay for the incredible benefits of a free market. Only a foolish boxer steps into the ring thinking he won‟t have to take
any hits. This program praises the tenacity of FAs who take blows, pick themselves up, and return to the market to
make things happen. Such FAs are intrinsic to our nation‟s resilience. When we believe in our products, selling is not
something we do to our clients but for our clients. Regardless of the economy‟s state, there will always be a need for
FAs and investment products. The only question is: who will provide these services? And the answer is: those who are
the greatest servants and who increase their competence through continuing education.

There’s More to Life Than Money…Especially When You’ve Already Got It

30-90 minute program
 This presentation is designed for clients of financial advisors 

In these tumultuous times, Michael‟s messages are particularly reassuring. American economic history shouts through
the ages that frugal and wise investors survive and thrive. This program teaches that the good life awaits those who
practice delayed gratification, seek investment knowledge, and partner with competent financial advisors. Additionally, it
demonstrates how achieving a balanced life pays dividends. The personal and economic costs of failing in our
relationships can be even greater than bear markets. In a hectic age when we are pulled in so many directions, Michael
shows the keys to focusing our talents for the benefit of others and ourselves. Affirmative thinking, humor, stress
management, and family life are delivered in a hilarious, yet informative style.
