How long are your presentations?
Most of my programs are designed for a one-hour presentation. If you need a longer program, I can work with you to customize a program to meet your needs. Only in special circumstances will I consider speaking less than 45 minutes.
Why should we choose you to speak for our group?
I have been speaking professionally since 1979. Prior to that I spoke for more than 350 service organizations. As an award-winning educator and professional actor, I incorporate a lot of creative energy and amusing stories into my presentations. Believe me, if I can keep the attention of middle school students in multi-cultural schools (and I can!) I can enlighten, entertain and inspire just about any audience.
Do you have a videotape or DVD I can preview?
Not at this time. However, I can arrange for you to attend a live presentation.
My fees depend on the format, length of the program and location.
Is there a charge for travel time to and from the meeting?
No, there is not charge for my travel time.
Everything except lodging is included in my fee. If lodging is needed, the room and tax are charged to the client’s account. There is not additional charge for airfare, mileage, tolls, car rental, meals, etc.
Is there a way for me to save on your fee?
The cost per program is lower when I present more than one program on the same day. You might consider finding a sponsor as a way of reducing expenses for your meeting.
Yes. For client and participant program testimonials, click the following links: Education, Christian, Corporate. Our office can also provide clients who would be willing to communicate with you by email or telephone.
Do you provide materials or handouts?
Yes, I will prepare a handout based on the needs of your group. Handouts vary in length from one page to 25 pages, depending on the program and type of event. You will receive a master copy of the handout for duplication. There is no charge for the master.
Can we videotape or audiotape your presentation?
This depends on the program. Some of the programs involve a lot of audience participation and the presence of camera and audio equipment inhibits authentic participation. Other programs are more conducive to being recorded. In the event a program is recorded, a copy of the tape is to be sent to me within two weeks of the program. All tapes must be for internal use only and may not be sold. Taping arrangement requests must be indicated on the Program Agreement.
Can you provide a photo for our newsletter and/or brochure?
Yes, a photograph can be mailed to you, or you can download one of the preferred photographs displayed here.
Click on a photo, then right click on the enlarged photo and select "Save Picture As".
What are your audio-visual and set-up requirements?
The AV requirements depend on the presentation, the length of the presentation and the number of participants attending. Typical requirements include:
I will bring my own laptop computer
If you would like the program to be highly entertaining, arrange the chairs theater-style without tables. Provide a center aisle no wider than 4 feet. For 100 or more people, provide a stage at least 6’ x 8’, the standard size for most hotels. Also, include stairs for easy access to the audience.
If you would like the program to be highly interactive, seat your participants at tables. If your meeting is a banquet, it is helpful to pre-set the salad and dessert. Clearing and setting courses can delay your schedule and be distracting for your guests if the presentation is taking place while they are eating.
Yes, our office will email you an introduction printed in a large font for easy reading. You will receive this in advance of the event and I will bring an additional copy with me to the event.
