Ama Agbeze is a former England Netball captain, qualified lawyer, broadcaster and board director with deep expertise in elite sport, leadership and diversity. She is widely recognised for leading England to gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, a landmark moment watched by millions worldwide and credited with transforming perceptions of netball in the UK. Ama made her England debut at 19 and went on to earn over 100 caps, captaining the national team through some of its most successful years. She has competed professionally across England, Australia and New Zealand, winning two ANZ Championships and earning the Jill McIntosh Medal for excellence. Her playing career was marked by both versatility and resilience, often balancing sport with study and legal work due to limited funding in women’s sport.

Her off-court contributions have included roles as a board member for Birmingham 2022 and Commonwealth Games England, as well as chairing athlete advisory groups and serving as a trustee for several charities. Her leadership, both on and off the court, is informed by lived experience and professional insight, making her a compelling voice on teamwork, motivation, diversity and transition. Whether reflecting on her journey through elite sport or offering strategies for high performance, Ama brings clarity, credibility and impact to every stage she steps on.

Testimonials

I'm pleased to share that the event was a resounding success. Ama really took the debrief on board and included many great, relevant examples. The awards went very well, with high energy and great engagement throughout. I would highly recommend Ama for any events of this type.

David McKown MBE FIH

University Hospital Seminars Ltd.

Ama was honestly great. I loved the easy and natural way she added her own anecdotes and comments into the script, as well as really listening to the speeches of other presenters and drawing on them in her sections. It made it all tie together and flow really nicely, and despite being stuck in traffic and really busy she was totally composed on stage. She was really smiley and friendly too which was welcoming to all the people coming on stage. To quote our director of sport, she’s a natural!

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.
