Guest Speaker / Panel Speaker

I can speak on any subject related to being self-employed in Seattle.  I can adjust content for any amount of time, from 5 minutes - 90 minutes.  Whenever possible, I invite a Q&A time, and will bring handouts.  My goal is make the time as useful as possible for the audience, to answer top-of-mind questions, to share whatever information is most needed, and to encourage folks who do want to be self-employed!  If requested, I can bring books to sell at a discount.

Author Readings

Any combination of:  giving a preview of the book, reading excerpts, Q&A time, and/or sharing about the writing process, self-publishing, my work or my business journey.  If we're not in a bookstore, I can bring books to sell at a discount.

Workshops

I love doing hands-on workshops!  My goal is to share essential information, and then to dive in and get some things accomplished.  I'm only happy if attendees are smiling and feeling relief and excitement about whatever we've created or completed.  Some common options are:  Branding, Marketing on one Hand, Getting Licensed, Tax Parties.

Nickel Advice Table

Do you have a group of folks who need specific, targeted advice or information?  This offering includes a series of 1-on-1 personal, quick consults.  You can pick how long the time slots last, suggested 15 - 20 minutes.  Nickels are optional, though appreciated!
