Topics, sessions and talks
Simply put, a growth mindset is the belief that our basic abilities can be developed and ambitions realised through dedication and hard work. Learn to acknowledge and embrace imperfections while viewing challenges as opportunities.
In this talk, Brendan draws on his experience skippering a crew through near-death situations at sea to explore how teams stay strong through adversity and change. Rather than focusing on individual leadership, he examines how psychological safety, trust, and a culture of full ownership allow a team to adapt together when conditions turn against them.
In this keynote, aimed at audiences of leaders, Brendan will share the two most powerful strategies he’s learned leading his team to victory through life-and-death situations on the world’s oceans. He wasn’t the greatest leader from the outset, and experience is a harsh teacher – giving the test first and the lesson after.
Brendan offers your team the unique opportunity to learn from a proven leader in building high-performance cultures. Benefit from his insights on resilience, collaboration, and leadership, all delivered through captivating storytelling. Transform your organisation with strategies trusted by the world's leading companies.

To book Brendan Hall, email brendan.hall@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Brendan's availability and speaking fee. 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.
