Speaking and Travel FAQs

Yes, I can meet at your chosen hotel, Airbnb or a recommended local venue for back to back sessions. I keep travel flexible to keep your costs down, and I share local recommendations for food, entertainment and places to work during your stay. Thank you for coming to me instead of me having to go to you. I am also happy to join you at a hotel or Airbnb in town if you want to go non stop.

Clients visiting me in Orlando, Florida can have major airport access, recommended local hotels in all price ranges, and suggestions for dining and entertainment. Visiting can cost less than bringing me on site, and sessions can be held in local hotels, Airbnbs or nearby venues to fit your schedule, with more on the visiting clients information for Orlando, Florida page. If you are here a few days and have brought family and want to look into the whole theme park thing, the visiting clients page lists the parks.

For in person strategy sessions or speaking engagements, organizers arrange flights, preferably with American Airlines, seating in an exit row or above, a hotel, local transportation, and standard food and incidentals. Within a three hour drive, mileage is charged at IRS rates, and overnight stays include parking, tolls and meals, as laid out in the travel information for events. For domestic flights, if you can get me an exit row, business or even first class, my knees will love you and so will I. I do not require non-stop and like to get up and stretch, and I am a very easy traveler and low maintenance.

I build my talks for business leaders, brand managers, marketing professionals, start ups and entrepreneurs. My talks are built for organizations seeking authentic authority, clearer messaging and effective communication, and for event organizers looking for a talk built on information rather than motivation. There are no preset PowerPoints or presentations that are locked in stone, ever. My talks move, breathe and adjust according to the audience, the questions and the direction that is taken.

The speaking topics I cover include authority through authenticity, developing compliant messaging, optics and audience perception, brand protection, strategic marketing foundations, and brand communications in the age of artificial intelligence. The featured talk titles and the full list of frequently requested titles are on the speaking page. Every talk can be tailored to the audience’s level of understanding and its size, from a small board room to a full capacity convention center.

In my view, audiences can take away practical ideas on brand messaging, audience optics, authoritative communication and strategic engagement from my talks. I aim for my presentations to help people understand the foundations of authentic branding, clarify their messaging and adopt up to date strategies. I intend my talks for the audience to take action for themselves.

As of spring 2025, the planned layout of my upcoming messaging and optics book has seven sections: foundations of authentic messaging, faith messaging elements, building authority and credibility, and ethical marketing and advertising. The last three cover past, present and predictive tactical navigation, practical applications for ethical and engaging communication, and a hope and future forecast for tried, true and transparent messaging.

The working title of my next book is “Messaging and optics architecture with morals, transparency, faith and honesty.” It is in early development with no release date set, and it is separate from the 2026 book released under a pen name.

You can book directly by emailing speaking@lorenweisman.com or calling +1-850-391-8053, or through a referral partner such as All American Speakers, SpeakerHub, PDA Speakers or Speakerpedia. Run times, formats, room needs and the speaker technical requirements are on the speaking page, and the speaking contract is on the strategy and consulting documents page. I only accept engagements where I am sure I can lend authenticity and authority to the conversation, and I will recommend someone else for a topic I am not completely clear on.

The challenges my talks address include vetting a strategist, coach or expert, the intention versus perception differential, objective versus subjective messaging, brand compliance for legalities and liabilities, and investor confidence before entering the market. Other talks cover words and spam themes to avoid, 75 to 25 hype stories that leave out much of the truth, and the authenticity of AI.

My featured talk titles include Stability and Security Tactics for Product Messaging, Compliant and Amplified Messaging, Strategizing a Book Creation Plan with a Sound Blueprint, Authentic Messaging Strategies, and Brand Messaging Blueprint Strategies for Creative Careers. I give each its own page and talk sheet on the speaking page, with an a la carte option built from other topics.

I accept payment through Zelle, Venmo, PayPal and Square, and Square takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Cash App Pay. Payment links are shared with clients at invoicing, and for security there is no automation for monthly retainer clients, so payments are made manually. Please put the invoice number in the payment note so the payment can be matched to your invoice. Payment details are only ever changed on the pay page, and no change to them will ever reach you by email, text or direct message.
