SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS

A real conversation.
A practical next step.

Adult friendship and connection, in the middle of real adult life.

For groups that want to talk honestly about making room for people—not add another impossible standard to a full week.

Discuss your event

A POTENTIAL FIT FOR

Different rooms.
Familiar questions.

Libraries and book groups. Community organizations and faith communities. Workplace groups, professional communities, and conferences exploring the social side of growth.

Interview conversations can also fit podcasts, television, and radio. The audience and purpose come first; the format follows.

These are potential audiences, not a list of past clients or confirmed events.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Built around real adult life.

Proposed topics and formats.
Final scope is agreed with each host.

01

Turn “we should” into a real plan.

A practical conversation about invitations that move beyond “sometime,” without pressuring someone to say yes.

INTERVIEW OR
INTERACTIVE CONVERSATION

02

Make room for connection in a full life.

Work, responsibilities, and the relationships that keep getting pushed to later. Consider a next step that fits the week you actually have.

WORKPLACE OR
COMMUNITY DISCUSSION

03

Move beyond the introduction.

Knowing people and maintaining relationships are not the same thing. Explore consistent contact, places worth returning to, and realistic follow-through.

BOOK GROUP OR
PRACTICAL WORKSHOP

FORMATS AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION

Let the room shape the format.

An interview
or conversation.

A focused interview, moderated conversation, or audience Q&A shaped around a recognizable question.

A short talk
and discussion.

An author-led presentation with time for questions. Length and content are agreed for your setting.

A practical
workshop.

A proposed 45–60-minute session with reflection and space to consider a next step. Materials and permissions are agreed separately.

Not clinical services, a promise of friendship outcomes, or a confirmed booking. Availability, fees, travel or virtual arrangements, and accessibility needs are discussed before agreement.

START WITH YOUR AUDIENCE

What would be useful
for the people in your room?

Tell Montrey who is coming, what you’re planning, and roughly when. There is no need to have every detail settled before asking.

Start an event inquiry

Need internal approval first? Request an event-specific overview, or save the media one-sheet.

Detailed agendas, presentation files, participant materials, and group-use permissions are shared only as agreed—not automatically released by this form.
