Monique Strydom Booking Agency Profile
She is an avid adventurer who has traveled around the world. Among her many adventures are the capture of a shark on scuba for research purposes, being chased up into trees by black rhinos and hunting for lions. Her favorite adventure is scuba diving, and on a diving holiday in 2000, her life took an unexpected turn.
During a diving holiday in Sipadan (Malaysia) she was kidnapped by Al Qaeda Rebels and taken to the remote Jolo Island in the Southern Philippines. Along with 20 other hostages, she survived a 4-month ordeal, where she faced death daily and many other challenges daily.
TALK 1 - A SINGLE GRAIN OF RICE:
In this 1 hour 15 minute presentation, Monique recounts details of their ordeal and the lessons learned. The talk is divided into various sections:
- TAKEN HOSTAGE: The first encounter with the terrorists. Coping with losing freedom. Breaking the hostages. Facing death and dealing with fear. The invaluable knowledge gained on interpersonal relationships, the power of a positive attitude, and courage.
-SURVIVING TRAUMA: How she survived trauma and the lessons learned in dealing with extreme trauma. The pain of suffering and what it does to you.
-THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT: The support structures that kept them positive and alive.
TALK 2 - LESSONS FROM CAPTIVITY
This step-by-step survival session (1 hour) was first presented at the IFFFP Global Summit (Cape Town 2009). This talk starts with a short video depicting the military attack during which she was nearly killed. (Produced by National Geographic Channel)
Then Monique challenges the audience to survive after being shipwrecked. She shares with them the things she would have taken with if she had a choice - each of these representing a mental tool to help a person cope with trauma or extreme challenges in their lives.
This is the perfect talk for companies who have to help their staff face serious challenges. .

"How much does it cost to book Monique Strydom for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Monique Strydom booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Monique Strydom charge for an event. An example fee to book Monique Strydom is in the starting range of $2,500-$7,499. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Monique Strydom agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time.

There is low probability to book Monique Strydom for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Monique Strydom agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Monique Strydom, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Monique Strydom booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired.
