Speaking Program Fees

We quote each program fee on a sliding scale as a custom speaking fee. Bill's corporate and association speaking fees range from $7500 for a 90-minute keynote to $15,000 for a one-day program, plus expenses.

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:

1. Nearness to Bill's office in Palo Alto, CA, to reduce travel time
   
   
2. Bill's availability
   
   
3. Length of the program
   
   
4. Number of participants
   
   
5. Non-profit vs. for-profit organization
   
   
6. Degree of customization required
   
   
7. Pre-program and post-program work
   
   
8. Workbook or handout customization

Barter and Trades To Offset The Speaking Fee Discount
