Angela Bentley
Angela Bentley helps leaders and teams stay clear and adaptable under pressure. A resilience, breathwork, and human performance speaker, she founded Ice Warrior®, created Freeze, Fear and Fly™, and is an Advanced Wim Hof Method Instructor.


Angela Bentley is a leadership, mindset and human performance expert who helps people understand how they respond to stress and fear, and how much influence they have over that response. Her work covers resilience, nervous system regulation, and breathwork.
She's the founder of Ice Warrior® and creator of Freeze, Fear and Fly™, a method that combines evidence-informed breathing techniques, nervous system education, mindset work, and controlled exposure to challenge. Angela is an Advanced Wim Hof Method Instructor and Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, and has spent more than five years teaching breathwork and resilience to individuals, leaders, and teams, building on a background in leadership development, organisational performance, and coaching. She's also working with healthcare and research professionals on a wellbeing intervention for women after breast cancer treatment.
Her sessions are experiential. Audiences consciously change their breathing, physiology, and attention in the room and notice how their response to pressure shifts. Angela has also taken leadership teams out of the conference room into controlled challenges, including climbing Poland's Mount Śnieżka in shorts. Her current focus is sustainable performance, built on self-awareness, regulation, adaptability, and choice.
Audiences leave with breathing and regulation techniques they can use the next time they face pressure, uncertainty, fear, or change, and a clearer sense of how their own stress response works.
Book Angela for a session your audience takes part in, with tools they'll keep using long after the event.

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.
