Transform workplace commitment with Alex Sheen, speaker and promise expert. Alex works with organizations to build accountability cultures and inspire meaningful action, delivering impactful insights through his global "Because I Said I Would" movement recognized in 105 countries.
Alex Sheen founded the nonprofit organization and social movement "Because I Said I Would," which focuses on the profound impact of promises.
The organization's primary objective is to build a community of individuals dedicated to making a difference through their unwavering determination.
Alex was inspired by his father, who was well-known for his commitment to keeping his word. After his father's passing, Alex delivered a moving eulogy entitled "Because I Said I Would," which sparked a global movement.
The organization connects with people worldwide by sending promise cards, encouraging them to make meaningful commitments. Since its establishment, over 1.3 million promise cards have been distributed in 105 countries, expanding the organization's reach and impact.
Leading by example, Alex personally makes promises to help others, such as raising funds for children fighting cancer and providing vital assistance after Hurricane Sandy.
Additionally, Alex delivers passionate speeches about the importance of honoring promises, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the organization's initiatives. These initiatives include volunteer projects, awareness campaigns, and character education programs.
As a testament to the organization's influence, Alex's work has gained national recognition, and he has had the honor of delivering two TEDx talks.
Topics, sessions and talks
We live in a society that often does not respect the importance of a promise. It’s too easy to say “I’ll get to it” or “tomorrow.” In many ways, we have become numb to the disappointment from broken commitments, and this numbness can enter our homes, our workplaces, our schools, our communities…but Alex Sheen believes that every individual has the strength to become a person of their word.
Alex Sheen's talk, "The Impact of Promises," emphasizes the profound effect that keeping promises can have on trust and accountability in personal and professional relationships.
Alex brings a unique perspective on the power of commitment and integrity, inspiring teams and businesses to foster a culture of trust and reliability. His firsthand experiences and the global impact of his movement provide actionable insights into how keeping promises can drive personal and organizational success. Booking Alex as a speaker will not only motivate your team but also contribute to a broader social cause, enhancing your company's commitment to social responsibility.

If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
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.
