The Experience
Dozens of meeting and event organizers around the world rave about me and ask for return appearances! Why? Because I am focused on the entire experience: before, during and after the event.
Generating Excitement
I’m committed to passionately influencing people, which means I’m more than happy to do whatever I can to help get your audience excited and prepared for the workshop. Whether it’s a video or a podcast interview, I want to help get them thinking before they arrive.
For most events I provide any or all of the following:
- Provide you with all of the event-planner assets that you will need
- Create a custom event promotional video (1-2 minutes)
- Write a dynamic email that you can send to promote the training
- Record an interview for blog posts or podcasts
During The Event
Unlike many workshop presenters, I prefer to stay the full day or full-event (when possible.) Why? Because I know that when attendees have the chance to interact with your trainers they’re able to get their questions answered and take more away from the event.
So make the most of my time while I’m there:
- Organize a book signing
- Have a lunch-and-learn discussion
- Conduct office hours with smaller groups
I’m open to almost anything. What can I do to help you make this event memorable? Let’s brainstorm.
After The Event
As an event organizer, I know how exhausting running an event can be. That’s why we want to ensure you’re armed with the necessary assets to make all your event follow-up, easy, fun, and memorable.
Within one day of the event’s end we’ll provide any of the following:
- A link to the presentation deck to share with every attendee
- A short reminder video to keep people focused and inspired after the training
- A podcast interview or blog post interview about the training for your internal newsletters
- A follow-up 60-min online session a few months after the event
