You’re in the market for a dynamic speaker or workshop host, right? So there are some things you should know about working with me. I’m not your average speaker. You might find this hard to believe but I am not for everyone. Are you ready to run yet? No? Good!
So here are some things to keep in mind and some frequently asked questions that can help you decide if you’d like to step into the Kishshanaverse:
Does Kishshana do the same talks everywhere she goes?
Not at all. Although she has 6-7 talks she does frequently, Kishshana’s talks are always tailored to her audience so no two talks are exactly alike.
How long are Kishshana’s talks?
Kishshana's talks are usually 45-75 minutes. However, Kishshana will work with you and your event team on the schedule. Kishshana has been asked to be the ½ day presenter at several conferences so if that’s something you’re thinking about; she’d be excited to chat. Don’t worry if your MC or Sponsor eats up a few extra minutes before her talk; Kishshana knows how to adjust!
What will Kishshana need during her time with us?
Kishshana is fancy with her style but never fussy with her needs! If Kishshana is virtually speaking, her team will work with you to figure that out. But rest assured, she’s got all the technology gadgets to make this fabulous. When in person resumes, her requirements will be clearly outlined in the speakers agreement and you’ll get a reminder before she arrives. Kishshana uses a Macbook for all her presentations and has her own HDMI and VGA/Mac adapters. As long as there is a lavalier microphone and an AV system we’ll be good to go.
Does Kishshana only speak to fundraisers?
Nope! Kishshana speaks to all types of professionals, faith based organizations, entrepreneur groups and students. She manages to navigate the needs of the seasoned professional and the newbie with finesse and a clear understanding of what each group needs.
I don’t know my budget yet, should I still talk to Kishshana?
Everyone has a “not to exceed” amount when thinking about event costs. Please see Kishshana’s rates in her speaker's guide to help you decide if you should reach out. Kishshana is always open to a conversation but please have a clear budget in mind. If Kishshana can’t help you she can refer you to her extensive crew of dynamic speakers.
Do you ever waive your fees?
Kishshana is an active board member and volunteer for some amazing nonprofit organizations and that is 95% of how she volunteers her time. However, each year Kishshana takes on 2-3 organizations with smaller budgets for free or significantly reduced fees.
