Each of Jimmy’s presentations are customized—not only in content—but also to make the most of your meeting facility. Here are some guidelines, but please check with our office to confirm the requirements.
All programs of any size:
Projector for laptop + screen(s)
Audio cable for laptop Under 75 people: 75-250 people: Over 250 people: |
Please know that we take our responsibility to you very seriously. It is our goal to truly earn the money you pay us so that you feel that you have gained value. You can help us do this by keeping in mind the following:
First - Classroom
Second - Rounds
Third - Theater
- Please ensure that there is no smoking in the meeting room
- Please make sure that all attendees have a pen/pencil and a small piece of paper on which to write (NOTE: Even at a luncheon/dinner presentation, please make sure this is done)
- Wherever possible, Jimmy would prefer attendees to wear name badges or have place cards at their tables.
- Avoid the use of balloons in decorating tables and platform. If you would like some creative ideas for inexpensive, very effective centerpieces that we have seen from other clients, please give us a call.
- Jimmy Monk is an animated speaker (and that's an understatement!) with a high-energy presentation. Please do NOT put Jimmy behind a lectern or head table. If the head table is on a riser or stage, please have a riser placed to the right or left of the main stage with front steps.
- Please ensure that Jimmy has a WIRELESS CLIP ON MIC - he moves around a lot!
- Please read Jimmy's introduction, or keep it fairly close to the way it is written.
- Try to have the group in a fun mood before introducing your speaker. Sad announcements or moments of silence for a recently departed friend are appropriate, but not just before introducing the speaker.
- To get more of a benefit out of Jimmy or any other speaker: Please keep in mind that an extended cocktail party is not a good start for your people or any speaker. This could make your program a waste of your money.
- Please ensure that there is a break immediately following Jimmy's presentation. If Jimmy is the last speaker of the day, please make all "housekeeping" announcements before he begins.
- It is difficult to build intimacy and rapport if people are still eating, or if the audience is not very close to each other (or to the speaker). For any size audience, have your people close to the speaker. Please mention this to the hotel. This is not customary. Tables are rarely set up close enough for Jimmy's preference. Try to seat people near the front of the room. Also, if the audience chairs are chevron rather than straight rows, facing the stage will be more comfortable. Please have only as many chairs as you expect people, with extra chairs stacked up at the back of the room. Otherwise, the front rows will be empty.
- Please make sure the entire room is well lit, but especially the stage area. (Because of audio visual presentations before Jimmy's presentation, many of the lights may be off. Please make sure they are turned back on)
- If the room is rectangular, please have Jimmy in the middle of the long side.
