For Meeting Planners (or anyone who is interested in hiring Jean)

If you're in charge of booking speakers for your organization, you know the value of hiring a speaker who accomplishes what you want / need for your audience. And you can imagine the stress of hiring a speaker who does not meet the needs of your audience. 
Jean is passionate about what she does. She is also sensitive to what you do. While she wants your business, she's aware of the task you have of finding the best speaker that 'fits' your needs. (She's even talked meeting planners OUT of hiring her when they want a different kind of speaker.)
Here's some info that Jean has put together, just for you: 
What can Jean do for you at your next event?
  • Keynote
  • Workshop / Educational Session
  • Panel Discussion
  • Facilitator
  • Emcee
  • Presentation Coach
  • Break-outs
  • Round-table discussion
  • Stand Up Comedy

What is the best way to set up the room?
If you have more than 50 people, a raised platform is preferable. After all, Jean is a wanna-be tall & skinny girl. Actually, a platform is preferable for any of Jean’s presentations for that very reason, just to give everyone a clear view. But, if you can’t accommodate, no sweat. Jean’s pretty good at standing tall. (Especially in heels!)
Set the room wide, not narrow, and stagger the seating if possible. This gives attendees a clearer view. Seat attendees close to the front of the room. You may want to rope off the back rows of seating until the front section is filled.
Be sure the stage area is well lit; spotlights work wonders.

Any audio / visual needs?
Jean works best when NOT behind a lectern. She likes getting up close and personal to the audience with a hand-held mic. If you don’t have a mic stand, let Jean know. She’ll bring her own.  If you prefer she present behind a lectern, let her know.
If Jean will be presenting with a slide deck, be sure to have a projector / screen handy.

Are you ready to book Jean? (or at least to learn more about her)

Already booked Jean?
Smart move! Here’s what to expect:
  • A pre-program questionnaire- the more details you share the better your event will be. And, as always, it will be customized to your audience.
  • An agreement to sign.
  • Jean’s personal contact info so you can get in touch with her anytime.
  • Promo photos, short and long bio.
  • Ask about a Promo video! (made just for your event!)
  • A speaker that is professional and super easy to work with!
