1. Moolala: Why Smart People Do Dumb Things with Their Money (And What You Can Do About It)
Moolala is an optimistic and fun keynote that focuses on inspiring people to get a handle on their money so they can live the life they want. The presentation answers two simple and equally important questions: Why do smart people do dumb things with their money? And what can we do about it?
Bruce Sellery will help your audience:
- Get clarity on some of the mistakes they're making with their money, as well help them set priorities about what they need to know and work on first.
- Create a simple plan to correct their mistakes quickly, and without requiring them to make personal finance their new hobby.
- Be inspired to get off their duff and into action immediately. That includes becoming more confident in asking questions about money and removing the taboos that surround it.

Bruce Sellery had a mixed group of equipment professionals completely engaged for his entire presentation. His comments were timely, witty and had neither the politicians nor the businessman's bias. He also took the time to highlight a few equipment stocks that were suppliers to many of the people in the room, which brought the presentation to a personal level. I would highly recommend Bruce for any group trying to understand financial and business environment.
