Elise Christie was 15 when she began to pursue her sporting dream, which led her to represent Team GB at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. It was during this event that she achieved top ranking in the 1000m world rankings, making her the most successful British female short track speed skater to date. With two European gold medals under her belt, Elise understands the dedication and determination required to reach the pinnacle of your sport.
However, Elise has also experienced the pain of setbacks. At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, she faced three disqualifications, which had a profound impact on her mental health. In response to the adversity she has faced, Elise has bravely spoken out about her mental health issues, aiming to break the stigma surrounding this topic.
Through her social media platforms, she shares her own experiences to inspire others and encourage them to overcome their own challenges. If you are searching for inspiration to overcome your own obstacles and take your game to the next level, Elise is the perfect person to turn to. She has proven that setbacks do not define you and that with resilience and determination, you can rise above any adversity.

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.
