Topics, sessions and talks
Disruption is the new normal—but strong teams don’t just survive it, they use it. In this keynote, Daria Rudnik shares five pillars of self-sufficient teams from her book CLICKING, along with real-world stories of teams that tripled performance, supported major transformations, and powered successful entries into new markets. You’ll learn how to build teams designed for resilience, innovation, and impact—especially in fast-changing, high-growth environments.
AI isn’t replacing people—it’s replacing outdated leadership. In this session, Daria Rudnik explores how the rise of AI is reshaping not just tasks, but the very role of managers. Research shows that traditional middle management functions are among the most at risk, unless leaders evolve. You’ll learn how to avoid common traps like cognitive offloading and AI fatigue, and discover how the most successful teams use AI to enhance creativity, trust, and judgment—not dull them. You'll walk away with a clear playbook for becoming the kind of leader AI can’t replace.
For women navigating leadership in male-dominated spaces, the pressure to outperform is relentless. In this keynote, Daria Rudnik offers real-world tools and strategies for leading with impact, clarity, and boundaries—without burning out or compromising your voice. A must for emerging female leaders and those who champion them.
Distributed teams are here to stay—but most aren’t functioning as teams. In this session, based on Daria Rudnik’s book CLICKING, you’ll learn the five essential building blocks of self-sufficient, high-performing teams—and why so many hybrid setups fall short. You’ll leave with practical tools to build trust, alignment, and accountability across time zones, functions, and cultures. Whether your team spans two offices or ten countries, this talk shows you how to make them click—and keep them clicking.
Every team creates impact—but most can’t explain how. In this interactive workshop, Daria Rudnik uses the GC Index®, the world’s first organimetric, to decode how each team member contributes to value creation across the business lifecycle. You’ll walk away with a data-driven synergy map, a shared language for collaboration, and a clear plan to design your team for performance—not just function. Perfect for leadership teams navigating growth, change, or strategic realignment.

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.
