  • Finding your Financial Footing: The 4 Steps You Need to Take to Get a Handle on Your Moolala

    The pandemic has put our physical, mental, and financial health under significant stress. But despite the fear and uncertainty, there are many things that are still under our control.

    In this presentation, Bruce Sellery will help you find your financial footing again. Whether that means dealing with debt, putting a cash surplus to work, or getting organized on things like wills or insurance, he will provide insight, ideas, and inspiration.

    • Gain new clarity on your financial priorities.
    • Create a simple plan of what to do next.
    • Become more confident in talking about money with family, friends, and advisors.
    • Be inspired to get into action immediately.

  • Becoming the “First Call”: How to Demonstrate the Value of Your Financial Advice

    More than ever before, financial advisors must demonstrate the value of the advice they provide. New FinTech start-ups, regulatory changes, and increased competition have clients questioning whether they’re getting what they’re paying for.

He will help you prove to clients, beyond any doubt, that you are the one to help them live the life they want, making you the “first call” they make when faced with a big decision.

    • The keys to communication: How to talk about your value on your clients’ terms, so everyone is aligned on the plan, and more comfortable talking about money in general.
    • The higher-order needs: Uncover your client’s deeper, emotionally driven higher-order needs, and then deliver on them in a holistic way, that drives trust, loyalty, and referrals.
    • The momentum builder: Take on a new, broader level of accountability for your client’s life, using your expert network to deliver on their dreams.

    Bruce is a dynamic and professional speaker who took the time to understand our event and industry and deliver a presentation which was both informative and valuable to our delegates. He provided our National Trade Association with a very high return on our investment.

  • Wajax Limited

    Bruce Sellery had our entire group completely engaged for his entire presentation. His comments were timely, witty and had neither the politicians nor the businessman’s bias.  I would highly recommend Bruce for any group trying to understand financial and business environment.

    Bruce is magnetic with an audience. His combined warmth, professionalism, use of real-life examples, and sense of humour make his keynote addresses the highlight of any event.

  • Calgary Herald

    Amazingly, Sellery made the Moolala workshop fun, even cathartic, as we explored our attitudes towards filthy lucre, confessed our sins and came up with simple, individual plans for dealing with our dollars.

  • Financial Post

    Bruce Sellery comes across like Jeff Probst, host of Survivor: alternatively scolding and cajoling the local citizenry about their financial waywardness.

  • Queen's University

    Bruce’s speech was so good, so funny, and so relevant. The way he delivered it left people in awe. Really.

  • Alberta Venture

    In a market crying out for saviours, Sellery is a bracing splash of cold water.
