Amale Ghalbouni
Amale Ghalbouni helps organisations build change-ready, resilient teams. A leadership and organisational change speaker, Amale works with leaders to overcome change fatigue, foster psychological safety and drive adaptability, delivering keynotes for Microsoft, Visa, UBS, and the BBC.
Amale Ghalbouni helps leaders in complex organisations turn change-fatigued, risk-averse teams into ones that can experiment, adapt and move forward with confidence.
A former executive strategy director with nearly two decades of experience working with FTSE 100 companies, Amale is the founder of The Brick Coach and the author of Experimental, a practical guide for leaders trying to build change-ready teams. She has delivered keynotes and workshops for organisations including Microsoft, Visa, UBS, Levi's, and the BBC, and has spoken on TEDx stages and at global leadership events.
Amale's work is built on a straightforward premise: people don't stall because they lack motivation. They stall because the environment around them makes change feel unsafe. Drawing on her frameworks, the Experimental Culture Toolkit, and the Experimental Change Method, she helps leaders reshape that environment so their teams can take action before certainty arrives.
Audiences who attend Amale's sessions leave with a clear understanding of why their teams are hesitating, a practical method for shaping change that can survive contact with a risk-averse organisation, and specific steps they can take that week to rebuild trust, focus, and momentum inside their teams.
Book Amale when you need your leaders to leave the room ready to act, not just inspired to think about it.
Topics, sessions and talks
Disruption and uncertainty are no longer temporary conditions. For many teams, they have become the operating environment. Amale Ghalbouni uses this keynote to introduce the Big Freeze: the pattern of delayed decisions, cautious behaviour, and eroding energy that appears when pressure builds and the environment no longer feels safe. She then walks leaders through how to build the five conditions of an Experimental Culture — connection, clarity, curiosity, courage, and celebration — so that teams can move into what she calls Free Flow. Leaders leave with a clear diagnosis of what is driving hesitation in their own teams, and a set of practical moves they can apply immediately to shift the dynamic.
Most change programmes do not fail because the strategy is wrong; they fail because the change was never shaped for the real people, pressures, and habits it has to move through. In this keynote, Amale Ghalbouni introduces the Experimental Change Method, a practical framework for turning complex, ambiguous change into something teams can understand, support, and act on. She addresses the specific moments when resistance, self-doubt, and old habits pull people backwards, and shows leaders how to size and sequence change so it survives contact with organisational reality. Audiences leave knowing how to move a team from endless planning into practical, recoverable action.
Amale Ghalbouni's suite of experiential sessions is designed to develop each of the five conditions her research identifies as essential for a high-performing, change-ready team: connection, clarity, curiosity, courage, and celebration. Each session is hands-on and deliberately practical, using props, physical artefacts, and structured interaction to move participants out of their heads and into action. Available as standalone 90-minute boosters, half-day sprints, full-day offsites, or multi-session learning series, the experiences are tailored to the team's specific context and can be sequenced to support an ongoing change programme. Teams leave not just with fresh thinking, but with a shared language, stronger working relationships, and a set of behaviours they can carry back into their day-to-day.

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.
