Topics, sessions and talks

Resilience, Reinvention, And Modern Leadership
Eva Omaghomi explores how leaders guide institutions through moments of profound change without undermining trust or identity. Drawing on nearly two decades inside the Royal Household, she shares lessons from navigating global scrutiny, historic transitions, and cultural shifts. Through real world examples from international diplomacy, public engagement, and high profile events, Eva examines how leaders maintain credibility while evolving their organisations. Audiences gain practical perspectives on resilient leadership and institutional reinvention.
Inclusive Institutions
Eva Omaghomi examines how organisations move beyond statements of intent to build cultures where inclusion strengthens performance, credibility, and long-term trust. Drawing on her experience leading community engagement within the Royal Household, she reflects on initiatives that connected historic institutions with diverse communities. Through examples of cultural engagement, storytelling, and partnership building, Eva explores how leaders create environments where talent and communities feel genuinely represented and valued.
Cultural Intelligence As Strategic Advantage
Global organisations increasingly operate across complex cultural and political landscapes, where misunderstandings carry reputational risk. Eva Omaghomi draws on her experience supporting Royal engagements across more than 60 countries to explore how cultural intelligence shapes successful global leadership. Through examples from diplomacy, international partnerships, and community engagement, she highlights practical ways organisations strengthen relationships, avoid missteps, and build credibility with diverse audiences.

Trust has become one of the most valuable and fragile assets for modern organisations. Eva Omaghomi explores how leaders develop engagement strategies that build credibility with employees, communities, governments, and global partners. Drawing on experience managing highly visible engagements for the Royal Household, she explains how narrative, symbolism, and meaningful dialogue shape perception.

I need a last-minute speaker. Can PepTalk help?

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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

Not necessarily.

Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.
