Speaker Fees

Hi Friend 🙂

Do you ever wonder if you should charge to speak? If so, how much?

Here are my thoughts from a recent Periscope coffee chat, and the two handouts I mentioned to help with determining a speaker fee.

Remember: These are not set fees, just guidelines to assist you as you determine your personal speaking fee and honorarium rates. Most importantly: seek God and ask Him to help you determine if you should ask for an honorarium, and if so, how much.

Handout ~ 2015 Fee Guidelines Overview

{A huge thank you to Proverbs 31 for originally sharing a fee schedule with me when I was a newbie speaker, and for giving me permission to take their handout and make it my own. Love being on your team!}

Hope this helps! May the Lord bless you as you seek Him as to what He has for you and your ministry!

Sweet blessings,

I’m Cindy—wife, mom, ministry leader, speaker, author & overcomer.

I love coffee, celebrations, & all things sparkly, and believe being real is the only way to live. Once upon a time I was a hopeless addict, but God…

Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions.

"As women's ministry leaders know, finding a speaker who is Right AND Relevant is quite a task.

God led us to Cindy last spring as a speaker for our fall retreat at Mackinac Island. Even then, I did not realize what a gifted messenger she would be.

With almost 70 women present, Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions. She did not shrink back from telling her testimony, as difficult as it must have been. And she opened the book of Revelation to our ladies with insight and application like few women I have ever heard.

Thank you, Cindy for marking this retreat as a milestone in women's ministries at Woodside Bible Church. Praying we will never be the same."

Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious…

"You will find no one more highly motivated to see lives changed by God’s love and grace than Cindy. Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious and many women have testified that she has ministered to them from the message she delivered.

Cindy’s personal testimony has been one of transformation for God’s Glory. She continues be used by God through her testimony for the many women who have had similar life circumstances and for others who can see what God can do!"

Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event.

"Cindy came to Texas and lead three sessions during our overnight Fall Women’s Retreat. Each Biblically based session was well thought out and touched each of us as she dove into finding balance in our unbalanced world. She made sure to tailor the message to our audience of multi-generational women in all stages and phases of life. However, it was in the ‘down time’ that Cindy deeply connected to several of the ladies who were so moved by her messages that they later were able to share private tears together. It was lovely to see God’s hand of healing being brought to the ladies of our church through Cindy’s powerful words and gentle spirit. Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event. Cindy will be a great addition to your event/retreat too."
