“I have worked with AFLAC now for almost 6 years, and actually, my mother has for 26 years. As a child growing up with AFLAC – going to every state meeting that she went to as well, you can imagine how many speakers I have heard. I just wanted you to know, I thought you were absolutely the BEST speaker we have ever had at a meeting! Your message was simple, true and just awesome! You are obviously doing what you do for a reason! Thank you again for your speech and for all that you do in your purpose driven life!”

“[TK] is an employee of mine who secured Michael Hoffman for two recent Qwest events. Let me start by saying WOW!! I can’t say enough about Michael. To start with, his energy is amazing. He had to energize a group of sales people that had been sitting in meetings all day, which is not an easy task. He got the points across that we had asked him to emphasize with humor and insight. What was amazing to me was how much he picked up from our first meeting in Denver and added that knowledge to the Salt Lake City event. I have received so many comments from our sales team about how much they enjoyed Michael. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking to energize and motivate a group a sales people.”

“Yesterday at the end of the day, you gave me a compliment for some of my ideas and my participation and I replied with some dribble comment. But, when I got home and thought about the suggestions and lessons learned from you throughout the day, and the practical nature of the counsel given, I had to let you know that it was very good. I know I will start to use things to expand myself at both work and at home. Thank you very much. If I had a dream I would do what you do for a living”
