The money thing...
Naturally, you want to know how much you'll be spending if you hire me as either a coach, or book me for a keynote, or book one of my seminars. I do try to keep my fees reasonable.
Do keep in mind that learning (or simply enhancing) public speaking skills can be of great help in many circumstances which provide a return on your investment. For example, if managerial and sales positions do typically require more than a bit of public speaking, even if only at internal meetings. Spending time and money to build these skills can get you a better paid position or to excel at a position you already have.
Or, if you're going to be paid as a speaker, Speak As Yourself coaching and training will make you much more memorable.
Additionally your investment of time and money for Speak As Yourself coaching and training/seminars increases confidence level and allows you to best use your own personality and knowledge to enhance your credibility. You will become a better leader and experience personal growth.
In other words, there can be both a financial and personal return on investment.
FREE CONSULTATION: I do offer a free half hour phone consultation to discuss your specific needs and what I can provide.
IN-PERSON COACHING (most effective): In general, I charge $100 per hour of actual coaching (I don't charge for prep time unless significant), typically with a two hour minimum if you need me to come to a site in the Bay Area (from Sacramento down to San Jose), and a three hour minimum if further afield (basically more than an hour or so drive from the Martinez, CA, area). We can discuss (in the half hour free consult) the minimum and adjusting based on actual location/travel time, as well as a half and full day rate if that's what you're looking for, and a special rate for small group coaching. We can also discuss a lower rate based on purchasing a block of time up front.
I offer special rates for non-profits and for students. In addition, if you have a financial hardship issue, do feel free to contact me and we can discuss what I can do for you.
SKYPE/PHONE COACHING: In general, I charge $100 per hour with no real minimum, and I can bill portions of the hour (by the quarter hour).
SEMINARS/GROUP WORKSHOPS fees depend on the number of people and location (as I will travel to just about anywhere in the US). Please inquire for a quote, and I will endeavor to work within your budget.
KEYNOTE fees also depend on location (again, just about anywhere in the US) and type of event. Please inquire for a quote, and I will endeavor to work within your budget.
PREMIUM PACKAGES: I offer premium packages for those who want special personal attention for their speaking skills, media skills (being interviewed), presentation content, up front written assessments with follow up debriefs, and blocks of follow up coaching.
CONTACT me to discuss your needs. I take various forms of payment, including major credit cards, or we can arrange for billing of your company/organization.
