General Booking Information
-
For speaking engagements or interviews in North Carolina, I will drive if they are within the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill).
Fly into the host location at least 4-5hours before the meeting.
Be picked up at the airport, driven to the hotel, and vice-versa.
Stay at a Marriott property or property with a peaceful and serene environment.
Presentation for 60 to 90 minutes (unless the meeting is a training, facilitation, or complete teaching/coaching session) - preferably between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and not during meal time.
Willing to fly out early the next day after the presentation or the same day as the presentation if the meeting is completed early.
-
Live, in-studio, or face-to-face formats are highly preferred. I can also engage in virtual/phone format.
Although I do not need specific and detailed interview questions in advance, interview goals, story angles, and pointers are helpful.
I can accommodate any time frame, although I am more eloquent after 9.00 a.m.

My speaking experience in many different environments reveals that having a good set-up is integral to how well a message is received.
As such, my room set-up requests are:
I prefer to use my laptop (PC).
At least one projector, screen setup either to the left or right, and a clicker.
A stage is needed for large audiences.
Sound to be connected directly from the laptop to house speakers.
Microphone preferences: Wireless lapel or wireless headset.
Please no food service during the presentation. Reserve to before or after.
Please no recording devices unless discussed in advance and consent granted.
Please schedule at least 30 minutes for me to visit the speaking area and perform a sound check.
Please do not post content (slides, handouts) online for download or include any slides in handouts for the audience without discussing it in advance
