FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates are dependent upon many factors. Are you non-profit? Are you for-profit? Size of organization. Small networking group versus large corporate group. Often Thumbtack's drop-down does not allow for specification and, therefore, my rates are negotiable. Conference: 1 hour $500, 2 hours $1000 Corporate/Professional $1000 Small networking group $250-500 Other: need further information
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you read through my profile, if interested, we'll have a conversation over the phone or meet in-person. There are different versions of my talk dependent upon various audiences but the overall theme is always about looking to ourselves to create what we desire to experience for our self, our communities, and for the world. It's absolutely necessary, before I agree, that I know more about your opportunity, and your goals for the speaker and your vision/mission for your group/organization. While my overall theme is on how to live more balanced, joyful, fulfilled lives, and what it takes to do so. I insert my own individual and genuine experiences, it is in no way a canned talk. Instead, I tailor the talk to the overall purpose behind you hiring an inspirational/motivational speaker.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For public speaking, I've attended Dale Carnegie and was a member of Toastmasters. I'm a college graduate, majored in Psychology, and worked in the Corporate business world in large advertising agencies on Fortune 500 accounts. The latter part of my career I worked in marketing for various well-known international Internet companies. My volunteer work has included serving on Boards of Directors, and volunteering my time to many charitable grass roots organizations.
