What You Can Expect Working With Me

It is my hope that you will be pleased throughout our working relationship based on the custom service I provide. To that end, my team and I can provide:

1. Prompt, professional replies to your phone calls and email messages.
2. A personal phone consultation with me or a member of my team prior to your event, so we can better understand how I can best serve you and your audience.
3. Periodic announcements about your event on my blog and social media channels. (If you desire additional visibility for your event).
4. Pre-event and day of event media (interviews, pictures, etc.)
5. A quick follow-up communication after the event with someone on my team, to make sure I met your expectations. (I also want to know how you think I can improve.)

For workshops or speaking engagements, I will provide the following in addition to the items listed above

1. A professionally prepared, dynamically delivered presentation focused on achieving the outcomes you want with your audience.
2. A custom resource page, exclusively created for your attendees. It will include the slides I used in the presentation, along with links to books, articles, and other resources I believe will be helpful.

If you have specific needs, let’s discuss them!
