Book Mark Mohammadpour for a Keynote or Offsite

How do I book Mark Mohammadpour for a keynote or offsite?

Fill out the form on this page, email mark@chasingthesunpdx.com, or call 360.609.1077. Mark reads every inquiry himself and replies within one business day. The first step is a short discovery call, not a sales pitch.

What happens after I get in touch?

Mark replies within one business day to find out what you are working on. If it looks like a fit, the next step is a discovery call to talk through your audience, your theme, and what you want to be different afterward. You get a written proposal and a fee before anyone commits.

How far in advance should I reach out?

For keynotes, six to eight weeks. For facilitation, four to eight weeks. For leadership offsites, six to ten weeks. For large conferences and annual association events, three to six months, since those calendars fill early. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway.

What will Mark want to know about our event?

Your date and location, roughly how many people will be in the room, who they are, your event theme, and what is actually going on with the team. That last one matters most. The more candid you are about the real challenge, the more the session will sound like it was built for your people.

Does Mark speak virtually as well as in person?

Yes. Mark delivers keynotes and facilitated sessions in person, virtually, and in hybrid formats. Virtual sessions use live polling so remote attendees take part rather than watch. In-person is usually better when relationships need building or repairing.

What industries does Mark speak for?

Financial services and credit unions, healthcare, insurance, K-12 and higher education, professional associations, travel and tourism, human resources, and public relations and communications. Every session is built around the specific culture and leadership challenge of that sector.

How much does an engagement cost?

The fee depends on the format, the length of the session, travel, and whether you add a follow-up workshop or coaching. Send your date, location, and audience size and you will have a number back within one business day.
