It is highly interactive with lots of input from your Senior Leadership Team. Typically, I have a brief PowerPoint, maybe a handout or two, and utilize a marker board and/or flipcharts. It is also enjoyable as I include some humor and stories. One of the overall goals of the session is to create positive momentum for your Senior Leadership Team.

How much will it cost for this consultation?
The consulting services are free. I only ask that you pay travel expenses to your location. If your business is located within 120 miles radius of Austin, Texas I will drive to your location for mileage only (current IRS rate). If you are located 120-200 miles radius of Austin, I require mileage plus one night's stay at a moderately priced hotel (Hampton Inn, for example). If you are located over 200 miles beyond Austin, I require airline fare (coach class), two nights at a moderately priced hotel, and a rental car (full-size), and meals reimbursement (not to exceed $50/day). If you are located outside the USA, I require airline fare, three nights at a moderately priced hotel, a rental car, and meals reimbursement (not to exceed $60 USD/day).
Why are you making this offer?
Professional Consulting is highly relational and usually quite personal in nature. It is absolutely essential that the client like me, trust me, and have total confidence in me before engaging my services. I believe strongly that meeting in person with potential clients creates a fast track for all three of these client outcomes. The client can see me in action, get to know me, and have total freedom to explore a relationship with me without any obligation. It lowers the risk for the client and gives me an opportunity to show the client firsthand what I can do.
