Today, Tami hosts “Executive Awesomeness: Earned Resilience,” a show that features C-Suite executives who share their stories of the rise to the top, challenges they’ve overcome and lessons they’ve learned.
Questions I’m Asked the Most (You Might be Wondering This Too…)
What geographical areas do you cover?
Because my home base is in the New York City area, I can easily travel to and cover the entire United States. I’m also an international speaker. Have passport will travel! I can work with your team in person, virtually or a hybrid of both depending on your needs.
What are your main speaking topics?
I customize every presentation for the individual needs of my clients. That said, you can see a list of my most requested topics below. If you don’t see yours on the list, no worries! This is just a small sample. We’ll customize your topic after we have our kick-off call.
What's your fee structure?
Depending on the format, length and number of participants, I generally use a fixed-fee model for most engagements. That said, having a lasting impact on your participants and developing a long-term relationship with your organization, is more important than the ultimate fee. I’m committed to working out an arrangement that fits within your budget. I do charge additional fees for travel and accommodations but hey…I’m worth it! 😉
What’s different about you? I’ve hired other trainers before.
Without intending offense to my fellow trainers, most trainers give canned trainings that they’ve been delivering for years. Given my extensive business background, I bring a holistic approach to my engagements. It’s not just about getting on stage and delivering. It’s about understanding the story that led you to where you are now and what the consequences have been.
The assessment phase of our engagement is critically important and it’s also the part that most other trainers skip. Once we get to the root cause, we customize the training and THEN I take the stage to deliver a WOW experience that stays with your participants long after I leave.
What information do you need from me before we speak?
The information I’ll need is the same information you’ll need to think about for your event. Generally, the starting point is:
- What pain do you want to solve?
- What presentation format did you have in mind?
- How large is the audience?
- Do you have a date/time scheduled or are you flexible?
- What’s your budget for this training?
- What’s been your previous experience with external speakers (whether positive or challenging)
We’ll figure out the rest on our call!
Which clients get the best results from working with you?
Clients who get the best results with me have a few things in common. So, are you…
- Willing to be collaborative as we develop and execute the agreed upon event
- Willing to try new things that will engage your audience and accelerate results
- Open to new perspectives on the approach to and format of the event
- Fundamentally committed to organizational change
If that’s you, we might be a great fit!
