Adam Bryant
Build trust, navigate uncertainty, and drive high-performing cultures with Adam Bryant, leadership keynote speaker and bestselling author. Adam works with organizations to develop executive leadership, team performance, and organizational culture, drawing on 600+ CEO interviews and research from Columbia University.
Adam Bryant has spent two decades studying what separates effective leaders from the rest, drawing on more than 600 interviews with CEOs and top executives across industries and sectors.
He is the author of three books on leadership, including the New York Times bestseller The Corner Office and The CEO Test, which The Financial Times praised for "simplifying complexity" and "steering clear of cookie-cutter truisms." Bryant writes the "Corner Office" series on LinkedIn, where more than 150,000 subscribers follow his work, and serves as Senior Adviser to the Reuben Mark Initiative for Organizational Character and Leadership at Columbia University.
Bryant's research pinpoints the specific challenges that define modern leadership: building trust across hybrid teams, taking clear stances on societal issues, and managing through uncertainty. His framework, developed alongside former Amgen CEO Kevin Sharer, gives leaders at every level a shared language for diagnosing problems and acting decisively. Organizations working with Bryant gain tools grounded in real patterns from hundreds of executive conversations, not abstract theory.
Audiences leave his sessions with a clear understanding of the leadership qualities that drive promotion and influence, practical techniques for building high-performing team cultures, and a framework for navigating the tensions between speed and deliberation. Bryant translates complex research into memorable stories and immediately usable strategies.
Book Adam Bryant to equip your leaders with a tested playbook for the challenges they face right now.
Bryant's 600-plus CEO interviews give him pattern recognition most consultants lack, particularly around hybrid team trust and decision-making under pressure. His framework with Kevin Sharer provides the shared diagnostic language senior teams need when alignment breaks down faster than strategy can keep up.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
