Information on Preparing for Graham’s Talks, Classes, and Workshops

 

Honorarium:  

Typically, I receive an honorarium or stipend in the neighborhood of $1200 to $3000 for talks, keynotes, or workshops, not including expenses, which are paid separately.  As a general rule of thumb, the following is a honorarium schedule:

• $800 to $1200 for Single keynote talk of one to two hours:                     

• $1400 to $1700 for One- to two-day workshop with multiple talks:                

• $2200 to $3200 for Three-day to week-long talks:                                 

 

This honorarium is negotiable since the talks are considered part of my mission to the larger church, as well as a mission of Samaritan Counseling•Guidance•Consulting, and as such the honorarium acts as a contribution from your organization to support the mission of Samaritan.  

​

The check for speaking fees should be made out to “Samaritan Counseling Center” since this is a mission of Samaritan Counseling•Guidance•Consulting to help to create healthier congregations.

​

Expenses incurred by me for travel and other incidentals should be paid to me separately from the honorarium. A separate check for expenses should be made out to “Graham Standish.” I can give receipts to you for these expenses.

Travel and Housing:

If flying is necessary, it is best to let me make the flight travel arrangements.  I will do my best to find the lowest fares.  I ask  to do my own travel arrangements so that I can balance finding the lowest fare with getting to the airport in a timely manner that doesn’t cause me to arrive exhausted.

 

I prefer to stay in a hotel or other private accommodation in order to give me some down time and private time between days.

Presentation Preferences:  

The following are preferences that I have for the actual talk.  I am adaptable to the constraints of the venue: 

•  A screen for power point presentations—all of my talks are on power point slides.    

•  An extension cord and plugs for the power point projector and my computer. 

•  A clip-on lavaliere microphone that allows me to walk while I talk.  

•  Usually I do not require a podium, but I do like to have a small table that I can place my computer on that allows me to see slides on it. This also gives me a place to place a drink.. 

•  Taping and videotaping of sessions is permitted, but I would like to reserve the right to give permission for their future use.
