His leadership style is open and authentic, and he shares both his achievements and challenges, which helps him connect meaningfully with audiences.
Lewis is a strong advocate for the belief that anyone can achieve high performance with the right environment and support. His career reflects a resilient growth mindset, having faced numerous challenges over his 16 years in professional rugby.

His career highlights include winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup, a Grand Slam, two Six Nations titles, and seven Premiership titles. Lewis was also inducted into the Premiership Rugby Hall of Fame and received an MBE for his services to the sport.
After retiring, Lewis founded the Lewis Moody Foundation in 2014, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and funds for brain tumour research. Through the foundation, he has taken part in various endurance challenges, from cycling across Vietnam and Cambodia to trekking to the North and South Poles, raising over £2 million for families affected by brain tumours.
Lewis now works as a keynote motivational speaker and performance coach, collaborating with clients in business and sports. He shares his insights and experiences to help high-performing teams enhance their capabilities and support their personal performance journeys.

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.
