Speaking Topics
Prior to the event, Mike will communicate via email or phone so as to arrange the talk that best meets the needs of your audience. You can expect Mike to be professional, flexible, humorous, faithful to Church teaching, down to earth and honest. Stipends can vary and can be arranged in a number of ways prior to the event. Mike will arrive early and stay late so as to meet as many of your participants as possible. It can also be arranged that Mike provide a “meet and greet” prior to or after the speaking event. This often provides key leaders or focus-groups a chance to spend some quality time with Mike and ask any pertinent questions that might not be addressed in the talk.
