Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Phil

My goal is simple: deliver an outstanding program, make planning easy, and become your favorite speaker to work with. There will be laughter. There will be rubber chickens. There won't be surprises.

My fee includes reasonable pre-event planning, program customization, presentation development, slides, handouts (if applicable), and post-event resources. Books and other materials are available separately or as part of a customized package.

Absolutely. The core stories are always similar - but can and will be customized for your event. Additionally I animate a talking puppy to introduce me at each event. She will have a local landmark behind her for your event (Orlando - WDW, Toronto - CN Tower or Blue Jays game, etc)

I provide a customized promotional video for your event that you can share across your marketing channels. It may feature my talking puppy ("Dad's excited!") for AI programs or the Red Rooster of Regret for Fry Your Chickens!

I provide post-event resources to reinforce learning, including presentation slides with speaker notes. For AI programs, the notes document how the slides were created. Any workshop questions we don't get to are answered afterward and shared with attendees.

When schedules allow, I'm happy to include value-added opportunities such as book signings, meet-and-greets, and Q&A. Availability depends on the event schedule and should be arranged in advance.

Sometimes. If we're a good fit, I'm happy to explore options such as adjusting the program format, combining presentations, or bundling services to help meet your budget while delivering great value.

I provide a pdf of my slides with speaker notes. This is critical for the AI sessions. Each element will have detailed "How to do this at home" in the speaker notes. Workshops also include a workbook.

Recording is allowed with prior written approval. Replays must be private and limited to 30 days. I retain ownership of all content and receive a full-resolution copy. Public posting, resale, AI use, or extended access requires separate permission.

I prefer a simple flat travel fee plus the client providing and paying for the hotel (if event is not local). It keeps budgeting easy, eliminates surprise expenses, and gives me flexibility to make my own travel arrangements.
