💬 Speaking engagements: how I handle fees (and when it’s free!)
I believe in sharing knowledge generously—especially when it helps build strong communities, better businesses, and responsible innovation. That’s why I’ve designed my speaking policy to reflect both value and flexibility.
Here’s how it works:
✅ I’m happy to speak for free when:
🔹 The event gives meaningful exposure
If your event helps me connect with new audiences—especially more than 50–100 people—and gives visibility through social media, recordings, or live audience engagement, I consider that a fair exchange. I do not charge a speaking fee in that case.
Examples:
- Conferences, summits, or large-scale webinars
- Events with 50+ attendees and a strong online/social media component
- Podcasts, livestreams, or panels that reach new audiences
🔹 The event is non-profit, educational, or community-based
I’m ALWAYS glad to speak for free if you're:
- A non-profit or student group
- A university or school
- A local government council, public library, or community hub
Even if it’s a small group—I’ll be there, no charge.
💼 Payable engagements:
If you’re a private company, organization, or internal team looking for a:
- Custom workshop
- Private training session
- Strategic consultation
- Guest speaker for a closed staff or board session
…then I offer paid packages based on your needs. Rates are fair, flexible, and tailored—just reach out to discuss.
🤝 Not sure if it’s free or paid? Just ask!
Right now, I say yes to most LOCAL invitations—especially if the topic is meaningful and the impact is real. If you're unsure which category your event falls into, just send me a message. I’ll always respond personally and we’ll figure it out together.
