My general process is as follows:

It depends. My speaking and consulting fees range from $0 – $20,000 based on various factors, including:

I strive to make my content accessible while also making a living as a speaker and consultant on disability, mental health, and neurodiversity. Whenever possible, I request a speaker’s fee and travel expenses.

I am currently working on a speaker’s reel, but it will not be finished for a while.
In the meantime, here are two videos that showcase my passion for sharing knowledge:
- One of my earliest speaking engagements (2021) – This was recorded during one of my first professional speaking opportunities.
- My first-ever YouTube video – While my video production skills are still evolving, this video highlights my enthusiasm and commitment to delivering valuable information.
My speaking and consulting services are polished and high-quality, so do not let the rough production of these early videos fool you. I bring engaging, impactful, and well-researched content to every event.
I use gamification techniques, positive psychology research, and neurodiversity principles to make life more fun and manageable. Over the years, I’ve developed a multi-tiered system where I create quests to focus on values-based goals.
The goal? To encourage goal completion in a way that is playful, creative, and engaging.
I also offer gamified life coaching! If you’re interested in working with me one-on-one to apply these strategies to your life, to explore gamification life coaching packages check out QuestifyYourLife.com.
