Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Christy

I'm not just a speaker—I’m a partner in delivering an unforgettable experience. I show up prepared, bring high energy, and stay flexible. I care about your event’s success as much as you do, and I’ll work with your team to make sure the content hits and the logistics run smooth.

My fee typically includes pre-event planning, full customization of content, delivery of the keynote or workshop, and any supporting materials we agree on. Travel and lodging are separate unless otherwise bundled. Add-ons are available: books, merch, ongoing support, consulting, etc.

Absolutely. In fact, I insist on it. Every audience has its own dynamics, and I take the time to learn about yours so the message is laser-focused and relevant. Whether it’s aligning with your event theme or speaking directly to your industry’s pain points, I’ll tailor the talk to land with impact.

I’m happy to record a promo video, provide social media posts, or share event details through my email list and podcast if it’s a fit. I can also do shoutouts, interviews, or sneak peeks—just let me know what would support your promotion plan.

If you'd like, I offer follow-up resources like worksheets, digital downloads, or a short post-event video to keep the momentum going. For multi-session events or training, I also provide office hours or small-group follow-up calls. Let’s keep the spark alive!

Yes! I love meeting attendees. Book signings, photo ops, VIP meet-and-greets, or even private sessions with leadership teams are all on the table. Just tell me what kind of connection you want to create, and I’ll make it happen.

I get it—budgets vary. While I aim to keep my pricing consistent with the value I bring, I’m open to creative solutions. This could include bundling services, securing sponsorships, or adjusting formats to fit your needs. Let’s talk and see what we can co-create.

Yes, if you'd like! Slides and digital handouts are available for most presentations. Recordings are fine too—as long as we’ve agreed in advance and media rights are clarified. I’ll make sure your attendees walk away with resources they can actually use.

I’m usually happy to allow recording for internal use with a simple agreement in place. If you’d like to distribute the content externally, we’ll need to chat about licensing. I’m all about clarity and collaboration—no red tape, just the right terms.

Nothing too fancy—I just ask for round-trip airfare, hotel (preferably quiet and comfy), ground transportation, and a per diem for meals if I'm staying overnight. I’ll coordinate with your team to keep it simple and stress-free.
