Plan the Details Before You Book
What should we include in an inquiry?
Your event date, city, venue, audience size, meeting purpose and preferred speaking time. Tell us what your people are facing and what you want them to take away.
What does it cost?
Request a quote for your event. Confirm the speaking fee, travel arrangements, any attendee materials and production requirements in writing before booking.
Can Sam customize the program?
Share your conference theme, audience roles, current challenges and goals. Sam’s team will discuss how the keynote and painting can connect to your event.
What equipment and stage space are needed?
Request the current production requirements from Sam’s team. Confirm sound, lighting, stage space, sightlines and the painting setup with your venue before the event.
Who keeps the painting?
Your organization keeps the original painting created during the keynote. Discuss display, recognition or charitable auction plans with your team.
Bring the Message Back to Work
The painting gives you a place to start a conversation. At your next team meeting, ask:
Who benefits from the work we do?
Where is pressure affecting how we respond to people?
What is one choice we can make differently this week?
Whose contribution should we recognize?
Choose one action, then check in at the next meeting. Keep the conversation specific to your people and the work they do.
Decide How You Will Evaluate the Event
Before the keynote, choose what you want to learn from attendees. Ask which idea was relevant, what action they intend to take and what support they need. Follow up later to ask what they tried. Treat participant feedback as feedback; use your own business measures and follow-up evidence to assess any broader results.
