Travel
Guidelines
Hotel: Please secure a smoke-free room, with two double beds, with
guaranteed late arrival the evening before the presentation.
Transportation: I will arrange full coach air travel and send you
the itinerary. If possible I will prorate the cost with other clients.
Expenses will include airfare, meals, ground transportation to the
airport in both cities, and gratuities.
Please arrange for someone in your organization to provide ground
transportation or send a sedan car service. Please send my office
the confirmation number after arranging for prepayment.
Please let me know if there are any pre-event meetings/dinners that
you want me to attend, travel permitting. I enjoy getting to know
the attendees and often find new ways to customize my speech.
AV Requirements
I need a wireless lavaliere microphone.
I may ask for a wireless handheld microphone for audience participation
depending on the size of the group.
If I use slides I will need an LCD projector. I do not bring a laptop with me so I ask that the few slides be set up and ready to go when I arrive. I do not want the computer onstage with me.
Handouts
Handouts
for the participants are complimentary. They may include
colorful bookmarks with either “Ten Life Balance
Tips” or inspirational original sayings, or I can design
a customized 8x11 standard handout.
Life
Balance Resources
Many clients prefer to pre-buy books or
memory jar cards to give to each participant at the event
or to serve as a party gift. If you would like to
purchase books or memory jar cards in large quantities, please
contact the Life Balance Inc., office for details. 303-766-9547.
Book
Signings
A
book signing after my program is an ideal way for me to connect
one on one with the audience members because people are
motivated to talk to me about their own life balance successes
and challenges. I consider this time after my speech, signing
books and listening to the attendee, to be an important and integral
part of my program. It allows the participants time to assimilate
what I have said and to verbally commit to make changes in their
own lives. They also relate their success stories and this encourages
them to leave the event giving themselves the credit they well
deserve.
In addition, a portion of the book sale profits is donated to Camp
to Belong to benefit children in foster care.
For a successful book signing: If possible, please allow at least
20-30 minutes or more to give everyone an opportunity to get some
one on one time with me if they so choose.
Provide a six foot skirted table near the entrance of the room for
the books.
I will ship everything that is necessary for a successful book signing.
Please e-mail me the shipping details.
I will need some assistance from three or four people to help me
during the book signing for 15-30 minutes after my speech so I can
sign books and give my full attention to the attendee.
I will prearrange for books to be shipped back.
Media
I have
extensive media experience and will be happy to do complimentary
radio, TV or print interviews to help you promote
your event. Please call the Life Balance, Inc. office to arrange
details. (303-766-9547).
