Tom, I thought you’d like to know how the Satisfaction Survey ratings tallied on your session with us yesterday. You scored a perfect 5 on our 1-5 scale. The team was incredibly impressed with your session, very jazzed throughout the evening, and consistently rated your session the highest value overall (ratings in total were high; so that’s a particularly strong comment).

Again, thank you for the tremendous personal effort it took to lead such a dynamic session… wish we’d had more time and we’d definitely like to do a ‘Chapter Two’ next time!”

Diane B. Gongaware, Operations Director, Civilian HSR, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Outstanding! Tom, your presentation at our 11th annual national Sales Symposium is exactly what our sales organization needed. At the heart of your Mental Diet for Success is a formula that will undoubtedly lead to higher levels of success. Here is a small sampling of the hundreds of great comments we have received about your presentation: “Of all of the symposiums, Tom’s is by far the best yet!”, “Tom is the best motivational speaker I have ever heard!”, “Tom McCarthy is the absolute BEST! When I grow up, I want to be just like Tom! Thank you so much for bringing Tom in to speak, motivate and inspire us!”.

Tom, you have always delivered training that offered personal anecdotes, deep insights, optimistic thinking and solutions to challenges that will have an immediate impact on your audience. Thanks again for your contribution to our success. We look forward to working together with you in the future.”

Patrick Higgins, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, John Laing Homes

Tom you did it again! Just like every other time we have brought you in to speak at our regional and national sales rallies, you were not only a hit, you were a HOME RUN! Our salespeople loved your message and the way you got them to take action. Your Mental Diet for Success is a tool that our entire team can use to thrive in the midst of the competitive pressures we face.”

Tony Albachiara, Vice President of Sales, Centex Homes

Thanks for speaking at our Global Sales Meeting in Newport Beach. You did a great job and the impact of your energy and message was dramatic! We received a lot of positive feedback on your presentation and we are utilizing your key points in many of our brand openings and presentations.”

Kevin Wulff, President and Chief Executive Officer, American Sporting Goods

Much of competition is mental prep. I knew in order for me to become the World Champion in my sport, that was an area I needed to focus on. With Tom’s positive energy skills and instructive coaching, he was able to work through my worries so that I could see the big picture – the final result – clear to end, where I would be standing on the podium accepting my award. I went into the competition so well prepared after Tom’s coaching, and as a result, I won the World Championship and set a World Record. I truly attribute a large part of this achievement to the instruction I received from Tom. I have used what he taught me in many other areas of my life also. Thank you Tom!”

Sandy Bertha, World Champion, Professional Hydrofoil Waterskiing

Thank you for your fabulous presentation at our regional meeting. Numerous representatives told me they really appreciated having a motivational speaker that offered advice directed at their ability to improve their effectiveness, rather than the typical speech about the speaker’s road to greatness. Your session had significant impact on me personally. I stretch myself, always remembering your words. I hope we have future opportunities to partner together.”

Alina Ehrlich, Senior Director, Merck

Thank you again for speaking at our leadership meeting this week. Your session was one of the best leadership courses I’ve had in my 10 year leadership career. The session was informative, fun and very relevant. Most importantly, the team got a great deal from the session.”

Jeff Sharritts, Cisco Systems, Operations Director

Tom was great! Our team was struggling, but he got us to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and change our attitude. Our team began to believe that we would start winning games and that we were a championship team!”

Julie Foudy, US Womens National Soccer Team

I have been to several of Tom’s outstanding seminars and we talk frequently. Tom and his work was instrumental in helping me to prepare the Arsenal football team for their FA Cup victory!”

David Elliott, Peak Performance Coach for the Arsenal and Liverpool Soccer teams of the English Premier League

Tom, you have helped our team turn things around and what you share with us does sink in so I thank you for that!”

Shannon MacMillan, US Women’s National Soccer Team

Leadership is, in my opinion, one of the most vital, yet misunderstood concepts in business. Tom McCarthy’s leadership principles, communication techniques and performance-oriented coaching can help any business executive become more effective. Tom understands clearly that true business leadership is needed now, more than ever. Through his innovative programs, he equips today’s business leaders with the tools they will most need to achieve lasting success in an ever-changing business landscape.”

Troy McQuagge, President, HealthMarkets Agency Marketing Group

The program you presented for us was outstanding. You energized our people and you prepared them to deal with the challenges of the marketplace.”

Rick Hartnack, Vice Chairman, Union Bank of California

I wanted to thank you for your energizing presentation at this year’s Gutenberg Festival. As one attendee commented to me as he left, “Now that’s what a Keynote presentation is all about!” I must say that you delivered even more than I expected. You give people tools to take control of their lives and build the confidence necessary to do that. And above all else, you make it fun!”

Chris Jacobson, President, Gutenberg Expositions

The several times you have spoken for us have significantly transformed how my organization approaches their business. The results have been phenomenal: 48% growth over one year. Tom, your ability to target core issues, creatively design a series of exercises which make the concept real, and communicate the key messages focused on results is a true talent. As far as I’m concerned… you’ve been chosen for greatness.”

Judy Frank, Branch Director for Central California, MCI

As you can imagine, this was a leap of faith for me to bring you in to my largest client, Driessen Aircraft Interiors. I had not heard you speak before and had little time to check your references. Tom, you are modest – the outcome of your participation far exceeded what you promised.”

Debra Parker, Managing Partner, California Advisory on Training & Safety

There are only a few people in this world that I would trust to do an extraordinary job in presenting our programs to the public on behalf of Robbins Research. Tom is one of those people. In addition to being an outstanding speaker and trainer, he is also an outstanding person and has been a valued member of our team for the past ten years.”

Anthony Robbins, Chairman, Robbins Research International

Thank you for your outstanding seminar. Your Triad of Empowerment truly defines what one needs to do to be at peak performance. Our salespeople continually refer to your ideas as something they are doing to improve their performance… They are all using your methods to achieve better results.”

Mary K. Flood, VP of Sales & Marketing, Schuler Homes, Inc.

I would like to express appreciation for your recent presentation to us. You far exceeded our expectations. You gave us four solid hours of usable ideas that will change the way we approach our jobs. Several of our people were taking action to implement your ideas within hours of your presentation. Many felt you were the best speaker we have had at our annual sales meetings.”

Tracy Brock, Vice President, UBOC Investment Services

Tom, I believe we will look back at your training as the inflection point in Maryl Group’s growth curve. Your training course in leadership and motivation is truly inspired. We look forward to a long and continuous relationship.”
