Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Meridith
What should I know about working with you?
When you bring me in to speak, I’m all in. I get to know your audience, create an experience they’ll remember, and keep them engaged from start to finish. With my improv and directing background, I read the room, pivot on the spot, and make moments that stick long after the event.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Yes, I love collaborating with my clients to make sure they get exactly what they want!
What kind of promotional support do you offer to help market the event?
I have 100K+ followers on TikTok and 11K followers combined on my other social platforms. I am happy to help promote where needed.
How do you engage audiences post-event?
I love being immersed in the events as much as possible. If you want me somewhere to engage with your audience, I am all in!
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
I am always open to a conversation to see if we can find a solution that will work for both of us.
Will I receive post-event materials (slides, recordings, handouts)?
It depends on the event.
What are your specific travel requirements?
My airline of choice is United and my hotel of choice is with Bonvoy. For airfare, I typically fly economy plus for domestic flights and business for international.
