Testimonials

Your insights and expertise on connecting with our children, especially during such a busy time, were truly invaluable. The strategies you shared were both practical and thoughtful, and I think most who attended walked away with a greater sense of how to foster stronger, more meaningful connections with their children.

British Business Bank

Your session genuinely shifted something for me. It was so reassuring to hear others share similar feelings and challenges, and your advice really resonated. I left feeling lighter, a bit emotional even, realising I don’t have to carry this guilt and stress all the time.

Lynzi Ashworth

Head of Marketing, Communications & Brand EMEA, Chubb

What a fantastic speaker Anita is! That was definitely one of the best talks I have attended. She was incredibly thorough and her speaking was very clear. The talk was very engaging. Delighted we chose the topic and Anita. The standby questions she provided me were great (and we even received interaction from a participant with a question). Having the follow up handout is a bonus.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

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.

What happens after I send a brief?

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.

What does the typical fee range mean?

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.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
