Alexandra Forsyth's biography

At a glance

  • Creator of the H.U.M.A.N. Matrix framework
  • Host of the Take A Chance On You podcast
  • TEDx speaker on leadership and human performance
Alexandra Forsyth is a creative and technology founder, TEDx speaker, and host of the transatlantic podcast Take A Chance On You, where she explores leadership, burnout, and human performance in modern business. She brings a perspective shaped by two industries and one clear conviction: that human performance is the most underleveraged asset in any organisation. Alexandra is a judge at the British Podcast Awards 2026, has featured on BBC Radio London and in Podcasting Today, and spoken at The Podcast Show London 2026. Take A Chance On You has reached over 360,000 young female decision makers around the world. Her path from cybersecurity into creative and technology leadership has given Alexandra a fresh perspective on high-pressure environments. That lived experience underpins her H.U.M.A.N. Matrix, a proprietary diagnostic framework built on five performance pillars that helps founders, leaders, and teams identify where performance is quietly breaking down. She has extended this work into live event settings, hosting podcast activations at The Longevity Show London alongside more than 100 brands across health, wellness, and innovation, and now speaks widely on stress, burnout, and resilience in high-performing women, and on career reinvention. Audiences leave her talks with a practical language for measuring human performance beyond output metrics, a clearer understanding of how burnout and organisational friction compound over time, and a framework for building sustainable ambition without sacrificing wellbeing. Book Alexandra for a grounded, framework-led take on performance and resilience that resonates with today's leadership audiences.

Alexandra's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

Dream Big: Leading With Courage
Alexandra Forsyth explores what it takes to lead with ambition and courage when conditions are uncertain and permission never comes. Drawing on her Dream Big framework, she addresses the human cost of waiting — burnout, stalled momentum, and eroded confidence — and offers a practical lens for building resilience and forward motion in the AI era. Audiences leave with a clearer sense of their own leadership edge and the tools to act on it.
H.U.M.A.N. Matrix Diagnostic Workshop
Alexandra Forsyth introduces the H.U.M.A.N. Matrix, a structured diagnostic designed to surface the human friction slowing down leadership teams, founders, and organisations. The 90-minute facilitated session maps performance gaps across burnout and wellbeing, team culture and alignment, and decision-making under pressure. Participants leave with a clear picture of where human performance friction is occurring and a prioritised set of actions to address it.
Extended Leadership Workshop
Alexandra Forsyth leads a half-day or full-day workshop that applies the H.U.M.A.N. Matrix across the full breadth of an organisation's leadership culture. Through diagnostic facilitation, strategic team exercises, and human performance mapping, the session works through culture, leadership dynamics, performance systems, and operational alignment in depth. Teams leave with a shared understanding of where friction lives in their organisation and a concrete implementation framework for addressing it.
Showing Up: Confidence, Creator Brand, And Human ROI
Alexandra Forsyth draws on her keynote at The Podcast Show London 2026 to explore what it takes to build a credible personal brand alongside full-time work, and why most people wait too long to start. The session covers growing confidence online and in community, the relationship between a personal brand and a platform brand, the practicalities of monetisation and IP protection, and how to scale without infrastructure. At its core, Alexandra's argument is that showing up consistently is not a content strategy — it is an act of leadership, and the human return on investment is measurable.
From Cyber Security To Human ROI: The Origin Story
Alexandra Forsyth traces the arc from high-intensity cyber security leadership — threat intelligence, organisational risk, the disciplines of anticipating failure — through burnout and anxiety, to a deliberate pivot into creative entrepreneurship and the founding of the H.U.M.A.N. Matrix. The session is not a personal story for its own sake: it is an argument for what those environments teach about human performance, and why the lessons are directly applicable to any organisation navigating AI transformation, leadership pressure, and the demand for sustainable growth. Alexandra positions this as a keynote for organisations ready to have a frank conversation about where human connection fits in an AI-forward world.

Why we recommend booking Alexandra

Alexandra Forsyth can speak credibly about AI transformation from both sides, as a former cybersecurity strategist and as a creative founder building in real time. The H.U.M.A.N. Matrix gives teams a structured diagnostic for identifying where performance is quietly breaking down.

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.

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

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?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

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.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
