Planning your first live eventTime

I'm already at capacity. I can't add planning an event on top of everything.

You're right to protect your calendar. You're delivering for clients, leading your team, and running the business. If you were also the event planner, that event would cost you weeks you don't have.

Hiring a producer is how the event comes off your calendar. Your part shrinks to the decisions only you can make and the stage only you can stand on. We carry the rest.

In their words

Hosts who felt the same way

From clients and partners we've produced events with.

“Not only do I not have to do it all, I also don't have to think about it all.”

Amy Y. · Coach, first three-day event

“Shay's insights, systems, and structures allow my focus and my creative energy to go to what matters to me most, which is the content and the delivery.”

Lisa N. · Bestselling author and speaker, longtime client

“She has provided a significant level of clarity around what I need to do to prepare for my first in-person event. I'm feeling very supported in all the logistics.”

Fabiana C. · Business strategist for musicians

Your side, start to finish: approve the plan, pick the venue from a short list, approve the budget, fill the room with your list, rehearse, and teach. Seven phases of production run without you holding them.

About two months of planning and roughly $22,000 in production cost. Twelve of twenty people enrolled, which is 60% of the room.

Production cost and planning time are estimates.

“I had a lot of anxiety about doing my first live event. It was a big financial investment. My first live event resulted in 6 figures plus in cash for my business.”

Deborah F. · Coach for creative entrepreneurs

The cost of waiting

What staying put costs

The event you keep moving to "when things calm down" is often the thing that would create the calm. Twenty people in one room enrolled twelve clients. Think about how many one-on-one sales calls that replaces.

Another way in

Maybe it isn't a full production yet

Not ready to hand off a whole event? Start with a Strategy Call or a run-of-show review. You keep the logistics, and you get the structure that makes the room enroll.

Let's look at your room together

On an Event Strategy Call we'll walk through your offer, your audience, and what an event could produce for you. If it isn't the right move yet, we'll tell you.

Results shown come from past client events. They are not typical and not a promise. Your results depend on your offer, your audience, your list, and your follow-through. Client names are shortened for privacy. Some cost and planning-time figures are estimates and are marked as such.
