  • Pre-Contract stage: Doug is available to be interviewed by your client’s main contact or committee. This almost always completes the hiring process for your event.
  • Needs Assessment (post-contract interview): Doug interviews every client and/or committee to assess their needs and determine specific learning points for his presentation.
  • Books: After receiving the contract, a set of Doug’s books are sent to every client with a personal note.

AV Requirements:

  • Cordless Lapel Microphone
  • LCD Projector
  • Large Screen
  • Doug prefers to move around and walk amongst the attendees depending on the size of audience.
  • Water
  • Doug brings his laptop but is comfortable using a client-provided laptop.
