General
Questions
What
exactly is a “Pinch Hitter?”
In
baseball, it’s the player who comes in
for the wounded batter. Usually the pinch hitter
is a good substitute, while not being exactly
who everybody had in mind.
Event
planners and program coordinators sometimes
find themselves without a guest, at the last
minute, due to some emergency. While most
speakers are prebooked months in advance,
Marnie has chosen to remain available to "pinch
hit" for your next crises by rarely pre-booking.
She is typically able to be in your studio
or auditorium within twenty-four hours of
your call, or live on radio, via telephone,
within minutes of your call.
Does
Marnie ever prebook?
Technically
speaking, no. However, she accepts engagements
for program planners whose originally scheduled
guest has cancelled and, under these conditions,
she does prebook up to three weeks in advance.
How
much does she charge?
As
a Pinch Hitter, she requests that you cover
all travel expenses. She then accepts the
fee originally agreed upon by the cancelling
guest, whether pro bona, five digit or anywhere
in between. If travel expenses were included
in the original agreement, simply retain that
wording.
How
can I submit a question or inquiry?
Please use the form
HERE. Personal questions for Marnie are
handled as follows: 1) If your question has
been answered online, we will send you the
link. 2) If you propose a new question, and
the answer would be beneficial to others,
Marnie usually writes a blogpost or article
and we reply to you with the link where it
is posted online. Note: Your privacy is 100%
protected unless you choose to comment on
the published response. 3) If your question
falls outside the scope of Marnie's experience
or expertise, we will let you know.
Pinch
Hit Keynote & Retreat Themes
What
is "Dealing with Disappointment?
While
all of Marnie's engagements surround the scenario
of a missing-in-action guest, most do not
create an atmosphere of extreme disappointment
for anyone except the event/program coordinators
and team. Dealing with Disappointment
is Marnie's keynote address for groups whose
hopes of hearing a specific
guest have been dashed, due to a last minute
cancellation. What she lacks in audience anticipation,
she overcomes using humor, authenticity and
personal stories.
What
topics does Marnie speak on?
Marnie
speaks on YOUR topic
– whatever it is. If you need a motivating,
encouraging, impromptu speaker, call Marnie.
Marnie’s speaking experience resembles
her life – varied, interesting and somewhat
unexpected. As a pinch hitter, speeches fall
into a wide range of categories. Here is a
sampling of themes within which she has worked:
Service with a Smile, Raising Responsible
Adults, Writing for Publication, Entertaining
on a Shoestring, Pamper Yourself, Faith -
Golden Key to God's Riches, The Love You've
Been Dreamin' Of....
Marnie synergizes her material with your theme
by pulling humor, illustrations, personal
anecdotes and paradigm-shifting content from
one of the following general topic categories:
Life & Time Management, Personality Power,
Managing To Succeed, Parenting with a Purpose,
Beauty from the Inside Out, Creating Joy,
The Friendship Factor, Gaining Spiritual Depth
