A Message from Renée: A Loving Approach to Fees
Bringing love to the financial conversation is one of the biggest opportunities in our society. When we engage this discussion with love and not fear at the center, we can discover and co-create more wins and expand the possibilities.
I desire to work in such a way that we have trust between us. I aim for you to experience that you can trust and see that I am optimizing everything I can to match your budget and goals. And I trust you to honor my effort and expertise within your means.
The base fee for a 2-hour interactive keynote ranges from $3,500 - $10,000, plus travel, lodging, and typical expenses. This fee includes all virtual collaboration meetings, customization and preparation, the talk itself, and engaging with participants after and throughout the rest of the day.
I'm yours while I'm there, and I'm your partner for a successful experience for your participants.
Where a fee lands in that range depends on the organization, the size of the event, distance, and sponsorship. When clients share their budget range, we work together within that.
Pre- and post-event engagement options are also available to enhance and extend the learning and your value to your audience. I aim to keep these affordable and meaningful.
My invitation is to collaborate openly and creatively on fees.
Warmly,
Renée
Renee loves to meet and engage with your participants. They love her too!
