Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Julia
What should I know about working with you?
I am extremely responsive, enthusiastic, and have consistently been described as "an absolute pleasure to work with" by conference planners. You'll work directly with me -- not an assistant -- and I never make you wait more than a few hours for a response. You'll also get my cell #.
What's included in your fee?
My fee covers the keynote. It does not include: printouts/handouts, travel, lodging and a per diem for food.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Before every keynote, I interview audience members who will be present in order to understand their specific pain points. For this reason, my keynotes always feel tailored/customized!
What kind of promotional support do you offer to help market the event?
I am always happy to record promo reels and post on social media.
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
Yes, let's talk.
What are your specific travel requirements?
I like to arrive the night before the event and leave the day after the event. So, generally that's 2 nights in a hotel + airfare.
