Do you customize?I sure do! I know many speakers say they customize, but to them that means they sprinkle in the name of your organization and charge you extra to pronounce it right.Here’s how I do it: 1) I do a computer search for your university, college or organization; 2) When possible, I conduct phone interviews with meeting committee members and audience members (sometimes I incorporate their quotes into color visuals and/or handout materials); 3) I review your trade publications; 4) You get handout materials that reflect the theme of your meeting or special event, and 5) Titles and subjects are customized to your event. Back to TopHow long are your presentations?My presentation will be designed to fit your available time, can be from 10 minutes to multiple days. I am also experienced and flexible enough to adapt when my segment needs to be cut or expanded unexpectedly. I will do whatever I can to accommodate your needs. Back to TopHow can you effectively address so many different types of groups?The fact that I've addressed a wide range of audiences (more than 35 different industries) is a big part of my value to your organization. Every group is different, but I have found that we face many similar challenges. In my areas of expertise, I bring the best of "what works" from other industries to your group. Back to TopHow can we get extra value by engaging you?Many groups that hire me to do a keynote presentation also have me do a breakout or "special group" session at the same event. This gets you a big discount on the second presentation and saves you from having to pay additional travel and expenses for a second consultant, speaker or trainer. Back to TopIs your work guaranteed?If you give me a group that is awake, sober, engaged and somewhat happy to be there, you will get a top-notch, effective presentation every time, or you will get your money back. I will assist you in room set-up, timing and logistical parameters to optimize the presentation. Back to TopWhat is your business background?I have combined my diverse background (military service, corporate human resources generalist, corporate training and development specialist, outside sales account manager, sales trainer, office manager, project manager, entrepreneur, and behavior and success habits development specialist) with practical field experience to develop a unique and exciting presentation style that benefits my clients consistently. Presently, as a solutions and outcomes-based focused full-time organizational and success habits development consultant, and professional speaker, my team here at InspiraGen Institute assists our clients in achieving measurable, efficient, cohesive, and maximized results. Back to TopDo you have follow-up systems or training programs for continual coaching and development?Yes! To help you get the highest return on investment when you hire me for my professional services, I strongly recommend that you support your chosen keynote or training program with one or more of my ongoing follow-up system options.

Some factors that can come into play when securing me for your meeting date: travel logistics, schedules, multiple bookings, early payment, product purchases, marketing letters, bartering, and recording are just some of the items that can become items of discussion. If you book Ty for two programs at the same event, you will save the travel costs for an additional speaker and there can usually be an adjustment in the fee for the second program. Ty's Investment (Fee) Schedule Back to TopMay we video or audio record Ty's presentation?Special written permission and a signed 'Recording Consistent Agreement' must be obtained through my business office for the rights to video and audio record any of my presentations or guest appearances. There will be a surcharge for obtaining these rights. The surcharge will depend on how the tapes will be used. Back to TopWhat can we expect from your demo materials?First, I will tell you what you cannot expect. You cannot expect to see your exact presentation since each one is unique. I am known for my deep levels of customization and have many references to prove it. You can expect to see my style of speaking and examples of my mix of business information and entertainment. You will also see that I always engage and interact with the audience, which they love. Back to TopHow do you handle expenses?I use coach airfares whenever possible. You will never have to deal with outrageous meal charges, frills, or surprises! Back to TopWhat kind of humor do you use?I use only clean, non-offensive humor. Over 85% of the humor I use make fun of me and my life experiences, both professionally and personally. You will never be embarrassed. Back to TopWhy are you highly sought-after as a leadership development consultant, coach, and speaker?When it comes to leadership, I focus on five things: 1) developing leadership talent, 2) increasing inspirational leadership, 3) improving and streamlining effective communication, 4) building very successful and diverse leadership teams and 5) bringing back and keeping civility and compassion in leadership. We work with organizations at all levels to build leaders who will have an inspirational impact today and empower those leaders to build a talent pipeline of healthy leaders for tomorrow. I hold leaders accountable to create extraordinary outcomes, engagement, innovation, opportunities, and productivity, and believe that everyone can lead from whatever position they currently hold within an organization or life. Back to TopHow do you handle banquet or luncheon settings?I have extensive experience as a speaker and emcee at functions where food is part of the program. Special challenges exist in these settings that must be addressed for a seamless and interesting program. You do not want your attendees saying, "WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER?" I will be happy to provide a tip sheet that will help you in designing a banquet or luncheon program. You can simply call or email to request a copy. Back to TopDo you have any special services for disabled attendees?I am FULLY AWARE of your concerns with regard to the AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA).
