My fee typically includes customized presentation, pre-event consultation, books and post-event followups. Travel (airfare) covered; hotel not included.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Absolutely! I interview select people in advance to identify relevant pain points and incorporate relatable stories. My content is relevant for audiences facing Mergers or Acquisitions and equally navigating organizational change challenges. I adapt the content to suit the audience's pain points.
How do you engage audiences post-event?
Post-event engagement varies by client. I provide follow-up articles, testimonials, and participate in post-event debriefs/videos/podcasts. I'm active on social media and when permissible, I post about the event and key takeaways to continue conversations and amplify key points from our session.

I act as a true partner and explore options that work for your budget. I offer discounts on my book for bulk purchases, (25% off under 100 copies; 35% off above 100). Open to creative arrangements, including book promo sponsorship to offset costs while providing additional value to sponsors.
