Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Sandy
What should I know about working with you?
I’d rather be an hour early than a minute late. I’ve been known to roll up my sleeves and help the AV team with cabling - when needed. I love connecting with the group before & after the session. No drama, no fuss - just real connection, good energy, and a talk your audience will remember and use.
What's included in your fee?
As a former exec and event producer, I know how to make things easy. I quote one flat fee that can include: keynote, workshop, Q&A, award-winning books, signing, social promo, and travel. I work within your budget and customize everything for your goals - no surprises, no diva demands.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Yes, I always customize. No two teams are the same, and your event deserves more than a canned talk. I tailor every session to your theme, audience, and goals so it lands with impact, sparks engagement, and gives your people tools they’ll actually use.
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
Yes, I work to your budget. Depending on my schedule, existing bookings, and travel needs, I can be flexible. Every year, I also reduce my fee for a handful of events that align with my values or support causes close to my heart. Let’s talk and see what’s possible.
What are your specific travel requirements?
I’m based in British Columbia and easily accessible to major airports. Depending on my schedule, it might be simple (and more cost-effective) to get to your location. I don’t fly first class - just economy. I actually love flying. It’s where I get some of my best work done.
