Giuseppe's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

The Future Of Customer Experience
Dr. Giuseppe Stigliano examines how customer experience is being reshaped by rising expectations and the convergence of physical, digital, and virtual environments. Organizations face the challenge of integrating technology without losing human relevance or consistency across channels. Drawing on global case studies and retail transformation research, he explores the move from basic digital adoption to optichannel strategies that create seamless journeys. Participants gain practical frameworks to design integrated experiences that strengthen loyalty and long-term growth.
The Business Implications Of AI
Dr. Giuseppe Stigliano explores how artificial intelligence is redefining competitive advantage across marketing, sales, operations, and strategy. Beyond automation, AI is changing how decisions are made, how brands engage customers, and how new business models emerge. He unpacks both the opportunity and the responsibility of adoption, including governance and ethics. Participants gain clarity on where AI delivers measurable value and how to integrate it responsibly for sustainable performance.
Post-Digital Leadership
Dr. Giuseppe Stigliano addresses the widening gap between traditional leadership models and the realities of the post-digital economy, where disruption is no longer new but permanent. Leaders must navigate shifting consumer behavior, evolving organizational structures, and heightened experiential expectations. He compares leadership approaches across company life cycles and market conditions, revealing what defines effective leadership today. Participants gain insight into developing leadership styles that remain adaptive, relevant, and resilient.
Consultative Selling
Dr. Giuseppe Stigliano reframes selling as a discipline rooted in trust, insight, and long-term partnership rather than transactional persuasion. As buyers become more informed and skeptical, sales professionals must evolve into strategic advisors. He demonstrates how data, deep client understanding, and solution tailoring transform sales effectiveness across complex environments. Participants gain practical tools to strengthen credibility, manage extended sales cycles, and create shared value with customers.
Leading Transformational Change
Dr. Giuseppe Stigliano explores why most change initiatives fail without a deeper cultural shift at their core. Transformation demands more than new processes; it requires alignment around vision, mindset, and organizational purpose. Through real-world examples, he illustrates how leaders can turn resistance into engagement and structure into agility. Participants gain frameworks to communicate change with clarity, build organizational resilience, and sustain momentum through uncertainty.

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.

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.
