Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Coach BE

I’m responsive, low-maintenance, and easy to work with. No middlemen or extra layers. It’s direct communication with me or my small team. My goal is to make your process smooth, clear, and stress-free from start to finish.

My fee includes: a custom pre-event promotional video, a guided discovery call, a tailored keynote that aligns with your theme, and live on-stage delivery of survey results. I aim to give full value before, during, and after I step on stage.

Absolutely. Every keynote is tailored through a guided discovery call where I learn your goals, theme, and audience vibe. I do my homework by researching your industry and culture, so the message lands real, relevant, and right on time for your people.

I don't speak-and-run. I stay up for 2–4 hours after my keynote to answer questions, take photos, and engage in genuine conversations. If my schedule permits, I’ll stay for the entire day or even the next. Building relationships with folks beyond the stage is part of how I work.

I get it, budgets vary. My rates reflect the value I bring, but I’m open to negotiating within your budget. Let’s chat and see what fits. Who knows, I might even have a coupon or special rate tucked away for your organization!

Yes, once your post-event survey is completed, you'll automatically receive my presentation slides and additional resource materials tied to the session’s content. I keep it simple: feedback first, then full access to the tools that keep the message going.

I’m good with photos and recordings, no extra fees or restrictions. Please catch my good side and share any footage or pictures with me afterward. It helps me spread the message and saves me from hiring my own crew. Appreciate you in advance for that!
