Rhonda Scharf, CSP, HoF, GSF


ON THE RIGHT TRACK specializes in motivating and training organizations and associations with a unique expertise in efficiency and effectiveness. I am very confident that I can provide you with a realistic and informative session for your team and make it fun at the same time.

I call it "Edutainment" (Education + Entertainment). I have a solid content core, but it is delivered in a relaxed and humourous style. I like to say that I am allergic to lecture and I will spend our time discussing the information in a very interactive environment. My experience has been that this allows everyone to picture themselves in each situation and apply the information immediately because they completely understand the where, the why, and the how-to.

Because I have a philosophy about a high level of interaction, I always involve the audience. I like to use humor, participation for everyone, and applicable situations and examples.


When you hire me you are getting a highly experienced speaker who has spoken in dozens of different countries and to literally tens of thousands of people. I do a lot of (current) training with Municipal government including: The Region of Niagara, The City of Kitchener, The City of Waterloo, The Region of Peel, The City of Nanaimo, The City of Fredericton, The City of Moncton, The City of Thunder Bay, The Region of York as well as others internationally.

In 2017 I was inducted into the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame, earned my GSF (Global Speaking Fellow) in 2019 (meaning I have a truly international business), and earned my CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) in 2002. Along with the peer recognition award, Spirit of CAPS (Canadian Association of Professional Speakers), I am the only speaker in the entire world to have earned those four designations. I am a tried and true reliable option for your training.

I have eight books all focusing on workplace efficiency, and the ninth book is currently underway.

FEE SCHEDULE


Your programs will be custom designed and presented to meet your needs and come with a full guarantee.

Confidential REDUCED rates as per our conversation:

I tried to make this work for your quoted $75 per person, and this is what I could make work:
* Three-hour sessions for all attendees (9-12, 1-4)
* Eight total sessions January 30 - February 2
* My regular charge for this is $249 per person, but I can implement a daily fee to help of $7500 all-inclusive (includes all full-color workbooks, my travel, and expenses, etc. No hidden fees)
* Total cost $30,000

OR, if you prefer, I can do your four-hour requested workshop, spread over five days, for $100 per person all-inclusive.

* Customization of workshops in all options chosen

This does represent a significant discount. The hope that I can continue to offer other training within the organization would be greatly appreciated. With volume comes flexibility :-)
