The evening was a huge success and in no small part thanks to our wonderful guest speaker and member of the Inn, Alexander Macqueen, who delivered a speech that was warm, witty, side-splitting and highlighted the special significance the Inn has for him and all its members. On behalf of all the Inn, thank you Alex!

Middle Temple Annual Dinner

Alex was the star of our Ian Fleming vs John Le Carré Intelligence Squared debate, with his chillingly brilliant rendition of Fleming’s Goldfinger. You could tell that his performance spellbound the entire room.

Intelligence Squared

Alex’s talk at our gala dinner was funny, entertaining and perfectly judged - our audience loved it and he ended our evening on a high note. From the organiser’s point of view, he was a delight to work with - he really listened to our brief and happily took the time to chat with our guests afterwards.

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?

Yes. PepTalk books commercial podcast guests every week of the year. A high-profile voice can boost your podcast's reach and deliver ideas to your audience at scale.

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.
