Speaking that moves people to act.

MOTIVATION WITH SOMEWHERE TO GO

Give people a reason.
Then give them a way.

I want people to leave encouraged—and clear about what they can do with that encouragement.

Teaching and motivation belong together. When people understand how a system works, they can make better decisions about their place in it. When they see the value in their own skills, they have something to build with.

My speaking brings those ideas together through entrepreneurship, practical learning and the responsibility of following through. We start where your audience is, then give the conversation a useful direction.

Call (805) 979-7942 to discuss your event. My speaking fee is $4,500 per event. Availability, scope and any additional expenses are confirmed individually; a call or worksheet does not confirm a booking.

CONVERSATIONS WE CAN BUILD AROUND

A subject that serves the room.

These are starting points for an event conversation. We’ll shape the subject around the audience and agree on the final title, format and objectives together.

Let’s make it fit your audience.

Business associations, entrepreneur programs, community organizations and educational groups can discuss a talk, a facilitated conversation or a practical workshop. We can also discuss an online session or an in-person event.

A room of established business owners needs a different conversation from a group still discovering what they can build. Tell me who will be there, what they are facing and what you want the event to accomplish.

1. Start with the audience. Who is in the room, and what matters to them?
2. Define useful progress. What should they understand, decide or act on afterward?
3. Agree on the work. Confirm the date, format, preparation, materials, accessibility, travel, recording permissions, fees and payment terms in writing.
4. Carry it beyond the room. Discuss a worksheet, reading guide or follow-on class where it genuinely supports the event. Materials and book quantities must be agreed; they are not automatically included.

THE EXPERIENCE I BRING

A life spent learning,
working and building.

I’m Terry A. Lucas, an avid entrepreneur, strategic management specialist and operating engineer by trade. My experience includes business ownership, skilled trades and firefighting. Since opening my first brick-and-mortar business in 2003, my passion for the creative business process has only swelled.

My work here focuses on practical government-contracting education for small businesses: understanding requirements, assessing capacity, counting costs and organizing reliable performance.
