Eshé Bernard is a World Champion cheerleader, former international gymnast, and athlete manager who shares a compelling message about resilience and self-discovery. Her journey through the highs and lows of elite sport has equipped her with valuable insights that resonate with many, particularly those who may not fully recognise the opportunities available to them.
Representing both England and Jamaica, Eshé experienced the highs of international competition but also faced significant challenges, including injury and chronic fatigue, which ultimately led to her early retirement. This unexpected turn of events prompted a period of deep reflection and personal growth. Diagnosed with ADHD at 22, Eshé came to understand how it was her neurodivergence that fueled her ambition but ultimately contributed to her burnout. Her two-year journey of recovery involved learning to advocate for herself and redefining her understanding of success, experiences that now inform her work.
With a background in acting and modelling, Eshé possesses a unique perspective on the potential of athletes beyond their competitive achievements. As an athlete manager and speaker, she is dedicated to helping others recognise and harness their capabilities, guiding them to take control of their well-being and futures.
Eshé's speaking engagements focus on resilience, mental health, self-advocacy, and personal growth. Her mission is to empower individuals, athletes and non-athletes alike, to transcend limitations, embrace their uniqueness, and cultivate lives filled with purpose and joy. Through her story and insights, Eshé inspires others to unlock their full potential and navigate their own paths to success.

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.
