Alexandra Forsyth
Alexandra Forsyth helps organisations unlock human performance and reduce burnout. A leadership and workplace wellbeing speaker, she equips founders and teams with her H.U.M.A.N. Matrix framework. Host of the Take A Chance On You podcast, Alexandra was a Judge at the British Podcast Awards 2026.
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.
Topics, sessions and talks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
