Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Dr. Theresa
What should I know about working with you?
I like to keep the process warm, clear, and low-stress. I’m responsive, collaborative, and flexible, and I show up prepared. My goal is to make your job easier by communicating clearly, meeting deadlines, and creating a meaningful experience for your audience.
Can you customize your presentation for our specific audience and event theme?
Yes. I always tailor my talks. Before the event, I meet with the organizer to understand the audience, goals, and theme so I can shape the content, stories, and slides to fit your group. My priority is making sure every session feels relevant, meaningful, and aligned with what your people need most.
My organization has a limited budget. Do you have any flexibility in your pricing?
Yes. I have some flexibility, especially for nonprofits, local events, or multi-date bookings. If budget is a concern, I’m happy to talk about options that work for both of us.
