For school, academy, college and non-profit speaking programs, we dramatically lower these fees to make Bill's expertise available to organizations that would not ordinarily be able to bring him in. Typical school, academy, camp or non-profit speaking fees might be in the $800 to $4,000 range, or less, depending on certain variables.

For virtual presentations all prices quoted are 50% less.

Speaking fees are custom quoted based on these factors:
