comment on MICHAEL BROOME’S messages on

attitude, service, teamwork, and leadership

weeklong summer conferences.
Michael and his staff of educators teach students how to set goals, become team players
and leaders, develop their self-esteem, and overcome negative peer pressures.
It is a life changing experience for many attendees.

“Your keynote was a great success. It opened our conference with enthusiasm and set the stage for the rest of the weekend. The
comments I received personally included remarks such as: „He‟s the best speaker we‟ve ever had,‟ „Wonderful Keynote Address,‟
„Where‟d you find him? He was wonderful,‟ and „I thoroughly enjoyed Michael Broome!”
Carolyn Kelley, Program Coordinator/President-Elect - South Carolina Technical Education Association
“I found your presentation to be informative, humorous, insightful and thought-provoking. Your easy manner, sincerity, and
commitment to young children impressed all in attendance, and we (collectively) left the presentation with a feeling of optimism
and strength. The true measure of your message, however, has been the number of teachers, counselors and administrators,
instructional assistants and support staff who have expressed their thanks to me for scheduling you as our opening day keynote
speaker. You clearly communicated the mission for educators coupled with the satisfaction one can receive as a result of working
with children.”
Sean Gilrein, Superintendent of Schools - Dudley-Charlton Regional School District
“The evaluations of the evening reflected the quality of your presentation and it was very well received by the attendees. Among
