Cost and Availability
My goal is to take as many reasonable speaking opportunities. I would love to work with every single organization, but unfortunately I cannot accept all requests. I understand you’d like a specific cost for my speaking honorarium, however my fees vary based on a variety of factors (company status, event type, audience size, dates, travel requirements).
If you’re a nonprofit, high school, or college organization with limited funds, we’ve learned of ways to help you raise funds to cover your costs. Let’s discuss.
