Start Advisory Discovery


What Affects Investment?

Speaking and advisory pricing vary based on scope, complexity, timeline, and your organization’s context. Here are the key factors:

Audience Size

A keynote for 50 people requires different preparation than one for 500. Virtual audiences change the equation too.

Customization Level

Standard frameworks are one option. Tailoring to your industry, organizational structure, or specific challenges requires more depth and investment.

Travel & Logistics

Local engagements differ from international travel. Virtual removes this factor entirely.

Timeline

Planning 8 weeks out allows for deep customization. Rush timelines (2-3 weeks) require additional resources and may carry a premium.

Scope of Engagement

Single department vs. enterprise-wide. Quick alignment vs. multi-month transformation. Board briefing vs. embedded advisory partnership.

Strategic Depth

A keynote focuses on awareness and frameworks. An assessment digs into your governance maturity, risks, and gaps. Embedded advisory spans the entire AI adoption journey.


Pricing FAQ

What’s included in your quoted price?

Speaking prices include pre-event consultation, customization, materials (slides, frameworks), and post-event resources. Advisory prices include all services described above. Travel, accommodations, and AV rental are typically separate (or we can coordinate these with you).


Can I combine services (e.g., keynote + board briefing)?

Absolutely. Many organizations book a keynote to kick off awareness, then follow with a board briefing for governance oversight, then move to embedded advisory as adoption scales. We offer bundle pricing for multi-service engagements.


What if we have a limited budget?

Start with a transformation briefing ($5–15K) to clarify strategy and align leadership. This is a low-cost way to test fit and understand what you need next. Many clients then evolve to assessments or ongoing advisory.


Do you offer volume or multi-talk discounts?

Yes. If you’re booking multiple talks or a multi-event series, we typically offer a discount and streamlined pricing. Contact us to discuss.


Can I negotiate pricing?

Pricing shown is typical ranges. For nonprofits, government organizations, or unique circumstances, let’s discuss. We’re flexible on creative arrangements.


What’s the booking process and timeline?

Step 1: Get a quote (contact form)
Step 2: 15-minute consultation call
Step 3: Confirm date & scope
Step 4: 50% deposit to hold date
Step 5: Pre-event coordination (4-8 weeks before)
Step 6: Event
Step 7: Final payment after event


Do you offer payment plans?

For engagements over $15K (assessments, workshops, advisory), we can arrange payment plans. Typically 50% deposit, 50% at completion. Larger engagements can be structured differently.


Can I customize a talk or workshop for my audience?

Yes, that’s standard. Pre-event consultation is specifically to understand your context so we can customize the framework, examples, and exercises to your industry and organization.


Do you speak virtually?

Yes. Virtual keynotes are $4- 12K. We use professional production, manage tech issues, and optimize for remote audiences. Quality is the same as in-person.


What if we want an ongoing relationship?

That’s embedded advisory. $8-25K/month depending on scope. We work alongside your team for 6-12 months, guiding your AI adoption and governance as it scales.
