I’d love to collaborate with you in-person or virtually for your conference, workshop, lunch-and-learn, panel, mastermind, webinar, podcast, or live stream. 

What kind of speaking engagements do you entertain?

Absolutely! I just ask that you cover my accommodation and travel expenses in addition to my regular speaking fee. 

Do you travel for speaking engagements?

It can vary depending on session length and whether the event is in-person or virtual, but my speaking fee starts at $750. 

What is your speaking fee?

I customize each of my talks so they’re relevant to the event theme, audience, and times, so even if your audience has heard me speak before, they won’t have heard this talk in precisely this way. 

What if my audience has heard you speak before?

The topics listed here are my favorites for a reason — they’re sharp, impactful, and polished. But I’d love to work with you to develop a new topic customize for your event! Get in touch so we can chat more.
