I charge a fee of:

$1500-$5K

Some notes on how I charge for my services:

I start work on the speech the moment it is booked! I research the organization and interview people to create a customized "on target" program. I do not use the word "fee." I prefer the term, "investment." When you book my programs, you are making an investment in greater productivity and dramatically enhanced communication.

We offer a reduction in fee if multiple programs booked at one time.
