Honest Talk on What It Costs to Work with Me

Most speakers make you jump through hoops to find out what they charge.

You fill out a form. Wait for a reply. Get on a call. Sit through the setup. And only then, maybe, do you get a number.

That’s not how we do things here.

If you’re considering bringing me in, you deserve a direct answer. So let’s start with the question you’re already asking: what does it cost?

Why Speaking Fees Vary

If you’ve looked at multiple speakers, you’ve probably noticed something that pricing can be all over the place.

Speaking fees tend to come down to a few things:

How much demand there is for that speaker

How much real-world experience they bring

Whether they’ve actually helped organizations drive results—or just delivered a good presentation

The level of credibility they’ve built over time—brands they’ve worked with, stages they’ve been on, and their reputation in the market

Then there are the practical variables:

How much the talk is customized

Whether it’s just a keynote or something more involved

Travel, logistics, and the overall scope of the engagement

That’s why you’ll see such a wide range—from a few thousand dollars to well into five figures.
