Book Sandra Kemayou · Leadership Visibility Expert — Speaking Inquiries
Speaking Inquiries · Office of Sandra Kemayou

Bring Sandra into the room.

For leadership conferences, executive offsites, women's leadership summits, ERG events, and rooms ready for a speaker who arrives with substance, story, and unforgettable language.

Most inquiries receive a response within forty-eight hours. For events booking more than six months out, we recommend reaching out early — Sandra's calendar fills quickly during Q3 and Q4.

Fit

Sandra is a fit for rooms that want more than inspiration.

Leadership Conferences

Seeking a thought-leader voice on retention, talent strategy, and leadership capacity loss.

Executive Retreats & Offsites

Needing diagnosis-level conversation, not motivational content.

Women's Leadership Summits

For audiences who are already accomplished and ready for transformation, not encouragement.

ERGs & Affinity Networks

Particularly women, Black, multicultural, and diaspora leadership communities.

Faith-Rooted Gatherings

Seeking direct, fearless, never-preachy conviction.

Corporate Founders & Boards

Where the conversation is about succession, culture, and leadership pipeline at the top.

Logistics

Everything event producers need to know — at a glance.

Send the Inquiry

The more you can share, the faster we can confirm fit.

For Event Producers

Frequently asked.

How customized is the keynote?

Every keynote is calibrated to the room. After the inquiry is accepted, Sandra typically does a thirty-minute prep call with the host to understand audience, context, and outcome. The framework stays consistent — the language is tailored.

Will she sign books or do photos after?

Yes — book signings and post-keynote photo lines are part of most engagements. Build thirty minutes into the schedule after she leaves the stage if your audience is over two hundred.

Can we add a book for every attendee?

Yes. Sandra's new book, Outgrew Small (Sept 10, 2026), can be bundled into your engagement as a bulk-book add-on. Quantities and pricing are confirmed on inquiry.

Does she require an exclusivity window?

No standard exclusivity required. For competitive industry conferences within a sixty-day window, we'll have an honest conversation about positioning.

Can she do panels or fireside conversations?

Yes — though Sandra is typically most impactful as the anchor voice rather than as one panelist among several. Fireside conversations with skilled interviewers work very well.

Can Sandra deliver in French?

Yes. Sandra is fully fluent in French and has delivered keynotes in both English and French — including Palais des Congrès Paris.

What about recording rights?

Recording is permitted for internal post-event use by the booking organization. Public distribution or broadcast requires separate licensing — confirmed in the engagement agreement.

Are there nonprofit / faith / diaspora discounts?

Yes. Discounted rates are available for nonprofit, faith-rooted, and diaspora-focused events. Mention in the inquiry and we'll share the adjusted fee structure.
