Pricing
Fees vary according to the type of service engaged.
Project Consulting
Typically, after an initial consultation (for which there is no charge) we provide a proposal that includes the scope of work, a preliminary project timetable, and an estimate of the overall cost. Our basic hourly rate is $125.
Leader Mentoring
Upon reaching a mutual understanding of the desired objectives with the leader seeking mentoring, we prepare a learning agreement that includes a description of the services to be rendered, a tentative engagement calendar, and an estimate of the total cost. The basic hourly rate is $75.
Group Training
Following an initial discussion of the nature and purpose of the training to be done, we provide a proposed outline of the session(s), a schedule of the event(s), and an estimate of all costs, inclusive of time and materials. The basic daily rate is $1000 plus expenses.
Terms
The following conditions will be included in all contracts unless otherwise negotiated.
General Clauses
