Alfredo Holguin: Trading the Markets Without Sight. Inspiring Audiences to See Without Limits.

My speaking fees are customized based on your event's specific requirements and the value I can deliver to your audience.

Factors that influence investment:

• Event duration - Keynote, workshop, or multi-day engagement
• Audience size and venue complexity
• Customization level - Standard presentation vs. fully tailored content
• Travel requirements - Local, domestic, or international events
• Additional services - Pre-event consultation, follow-up sessions, or materials

As someone who has built successful businesses in both technology and finance while navigating unique challenges, I bring a perspective that creates lasting impact for audiences. My goal is to deliver exceptional value that far exceeds your investment.

I believe in transparency and fairness. Rather than posting standard rates that may not apply to your situation, I prefer to understand your specific needs first. This allows me to provide:

• Accurate pricing based on your actual requirements
• Package options that maximize your budget's impact
• Flexible arrangements for non-profit organizations and educational institutions

Every event is different, and your investment should reflect the unique value you'll receive.

Absolutely. I believe customization is essential for creating truly transformative presentations.

My approach to public speaking is built on understanding your unique audience and event goals. I spend time learning about your organization's culture, your attendees' backgrounds, and the specific challenges they're facing.

As someone who has navigated significant personal and professional challenges as a blind programmer and options trader, I've learned that authentic stories resonate differently with different audiences. I adapt my content to speak directly to your group's experiences and aspirations.

Here's how I customize each presentation:

• Audience Research: I study your industry, company culture, and attendee demographics
• Goal Alignment: I ensure my message supports your event's specific objectives
• Content Adaptation: I weave relevant examples and case studies throughout
• Interactive Elements: I adjust participation levels based on your format preferences

Whether you're hosting a corporate leadership retreat, entrepreneurship conference, or accessibility awareness event, I'll craft a presentation that feels specifically designed for your audience.

How does being a blind speaker enhance the presentation experience?

Booking a blind keynote speaker isn't just about diversity - it's about delivering a presentation that stands out, connects, and leaves a lasting impact.

1. Turns a perceived challenge into a unique advantage
Blindness isn't a limitation - it's the mechanism that makes my presentations unforgettable. Because I can't rely on slides or visuals, I've developed a storytelling style that's deeply human, immersive, and focused on the audience. This approach keeps every attendee engaged, not just watching, but participating.

2. Builds intrigue and curiosity
Event planners often wonder, "How will this work?" The answer: it works better. My blindness forces me to connect through voice, story, and presence - removing distractions and making the message more memorable. Audiences leave talking about the experience, not just the content.

3. Eliminates uncertainty and builds trust
By addressing the elephant in the room head-on, I demonstrate professionalism and confidence. This reassures planners and audiences alike, removing friction from the booking process and setting the stage for a successful event.

4. A system born from necessity - benefits everyone
My blindness led me to create a process that filters out noise and focuses on what matters. This isn't just inspiring - it's practical. Attendees walk away with frameworks for clarity, discipline, and action they can use in their own lives and work.
