Leading LightSpeaking & Consulting

Fee schedule

What it costs, written down.

Everything here is built from one number: a $200 professional hour. Speaking fees are that rate multiplied by the hours a session actually takes — discovery, custom writing, rehearsal, the day itself, and the debrief. Nothing is a mystery and nothing is negotiated in the dark.

How a keynote fee is built

One rate, multiplied by real hours.

A keynote is never one hour of work. The published fees below already include discovery, custom content, delivery, and materials — there is no separate preparation charge and no surprise line items.

Say it. If the budget is real and the work matters, there is almost always a format that fits — a virtual session, a shorter cohort, or a sliding-scale date.
