When I tell people who aren’t in the speaking business how much I make per hour they’re shocked. But per hour keynote speaking fees don’t tell the whole story. There’s way too much else that goes into that one hour speech, like years of preparation and training, weeks or months of research just for that one speech, writing time, practice time, in the trenches training, weeks, months or years of “volunteer” work, and don’t forget travel time.
