Adelé Nicoll's biography

At a glance

  • Welsh athlete and British shot put champion
  • World Cup silver medallist and Team GB Olympian
  • Elite sport psychologist and mental performance strategist
Adelé Nicoll is a Welsh athlete, British shot put champion, and mental performance strategist who translates elite sport psychology into practical workplace tools. A World Cup silver medallist and Team GB reserve for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Adelé holds over 25 Welsh titles across discus and shot put and competed in the 2022 Commonwealth Games final. She holds a master's degree in psychology and appeared as a celebrity warrior on the BBC's NTA-nominated programme Go Hard or Go Home. Adelé draws on her dual-sport career, competing in both bobsleigh and shot put at international level while working in entertainment, to show organisations how high performance works under real pressure. Her psychology background gives her frameworks that go beyond motivation, covering how people make decisions under stress, manage competing demands, and stay focused when outcomes are uncertain. Audiences leave with specific techniques for managing high-stakes situations, a practical method for reframing setbacks without losing momentum, and a goal-setting approach built from competition environments where mental preparation directly affects results. Adelé also offers corporate bobsleigh experiences that embed these insights through hands-on participation. Book Adelé to give your team Olympic-level mental performance tools they can apply the moment they return to work.

Why we recommend booking Adelé

Adelé brings Olympic-standard mental performance frameworks refined through dual international competition in bobsleigh and shot put, backed by a psychology master's degree. Her approach translates high-stakes decision-making and pressure management into workplace-ready techniques rather than motivational theory. Ideal for teams navigating uncertainty or managing competing priorities where mental resilience directly impacts delivery.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.

Yes! Most event entertainers are happy to tailor their act to your brand, industry, or theme.
