How booking works

  1. Inquiry. Tell us about your event, audience and date.
  2. Planning call. We agree on topic, format and what a good result looks like.
  3. Written agreement. Date, format, fee and any travel are confirmed in writing.
  4. Delivery. We present, take questions and share the materials.
  5. Follow-up. We send a thank-you and can offer a follow-up session or assessment if your members want one.

Common questions

Is the talk a sales pitch?

No. Talks are educational. You will not get a sales presentation.

Do you speak in person or online?

Both. Location and travel are covered in the written agreement.

How are speaking fees set?

Fees depend on the format, audience size, preparation and travel, and are quoted in writing before you commit.

Can you tailor a talk to our members?

Yes. Tell us who is in the room and what they are dealing with.

Does the event offer continuing education credit?

If your event offers continuing education, tell us early so we can discuss what is possible.

Talks are general information, not legal, tax, investment or insurance advice.
