FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please contact me to get an accurate estimate of the price. Virtual events and live events differ in prices and as great as Thumbtack is, it doesn't allow me to differentiate. These are unusual times and we're in this together so I will do everything possible to accommodate the needs and budget of your organization.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When we work together you will see on my web site that I have a tab labeled "for event planners". On that page you will find everything from bio and headshots to other FAQs for your convenience. I am totally open to customizing my presentation in order to make this the best experience for your attendees. My goal is to make you look like a hero so feel free to share ideas and requests with me.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My speaking/ training business is not only the culmination of a lifetime of education in both the inner and outer games. It truly is my passion. My fascination in what I call our "inner game" began at Georgetown University in my very first government class when I was exposed to the great ancient philosophers Plato, Socrates and Hobbes. Although my education one of the best prep schools in the country Phillips Exeter Academy had taught me phenomenal "outer game skills" ranging from writing to creative reasoning, I felt that little in our formal education explained why some human beings emerged from crisis as an even more epic version of themselves while others stalled and floundered. Nowhere did I see any answers to one of the predominant questions that I believe that most of us have, "what will make me happy and successful (based on what successful means to me)?" In a personal quest to find answers to these questions, I spent decades immersing myself in studies ranging from neuro linguistic programming, neuro science, the study of energy, the Japanese martial art Aikido to mindfulness, personal development, meditation and even the Law of Attraction. And because I believe that the secret to success lies in mastering not only your inner game but your outer game, I became a passionate student of branding, marketing and communication. I spent years of training under some of the best teachers, experts and mentors around the world. As I mentioned in my profile above, In addition to being a Success Resources certified coach, I am certified in NLP, gamification, mastermind facilitation and I am a graduate of the exclusive global Making the Stage Speaker intensive in Singapore as well as Powerteam International's Platinum Speaker Program. I have served as assistant trainer for Success Resources and mastermind facilitator at the Global Mastermind Program. All of this was placed to the ultimate test when my youngest daughter was crushed by the boulder. I had to really assess whether the teachings of inner game mastery was actually real. If it was, it meant investing in a mindset that was anything but typical. Fortunately, I made that investment. Our story of tragedy has evolved into triumph and it became the catalyst for me doing what I so love doing today.
