What about the costs?
If you are in the greater Los Angeles area…

These programs work well as a 1-hour keynote speech, or a 2-hour interactive workshop. The fee for this is $1500. More often then not, the universities has established student activities budgets to bring speakers to a campus.

If you are an on-campus club, fraternity, or sorority and wish to sponsor a event, we encourage you to contact your Students Affairs Department. Most colleges have student activities fees and the money collect goes back to the students in the form of activities such as motivational programs. So, your school likely already has a budget and a system to bring speaker to your school. Start asking in the Student Affairs Department.

If you are outside of the great Los Angeles area…

The fee would be $2500, inclusive of travel. In other words, the travel expenses are included in the fee.

Here are some basic questions that student services advisers and program directors have asked Mark Mikelat:

Why should we bring in motivational speakers for college students?

Imagine when you were in college. You were enthused and excited with the energy, will, and perhaps even the expectation to take on all of life’s challenges. I suspect that somebody guided you. Perhaps you had a favorite professor, or a work mentor who helped direct that raw energy into a focused confidence that really worked.

We all need more motivation in our lives, when I have the opportunity to ignite a spark in the minds, hearts, souls and spirits of younger people; I am excited for this opportunity.

Motivated students are betters students. Motivation can turn apathetic students into go-getters that your institution can be exceptionally proud of.

Do I offer motivational workshops for college students?

Yes. A motivational speech is typically 45-90 minutes and packed with high value, actionable and practical information that the college students can put into action immediately. Motivational workshops for college students are typically longer, more specialized, focused, and involve fewer students. Because there might be fewer students in a workshop, they can get very specialized attention.

Often a university may have me do a motivational program in a morning and a workshop later that day. In the workshop the students can practice and refine the ideas from the speech so that they can practice and refine their application of the principles taught earlier in the day.

What is your most popular inspirational speech for college students?

Looking for a job is an overwhelming and intimidating task for college students. They often do not have clear career goals and somehow they must convince a human resources professional that they should be hired. This process is taxing and stressful even for seasoned executives. I help take the stress away with my program How to Get a Job Over Lattes.

In this program packed with humorous, fun and inspirational stories, I educate students how to not be digital dust in a recruiting database, but a real person connecting with another real person for a real job.
