Navigating Today's Workplace Trends

In this session, Lisa Walden decodes the fast-moving language of modern work and what it reveals about deeper shifts in employee mindset and organizational culture. From social media-driven trends to generational expectations, it unpacks what is really happening beneath the buzzwords. Emerging behaviors are connected to unmet needs and changing values, offering a practical way to transform cultural tension into engagement, alignment, and meaningful organizational change.

Communication That Connects

Lisa Walden tackles one of the most common sources of workplace frustration by examining how modern communication styles collide across platforms and personalities. It unpacks unspoken etiquette, messaging mishaps, and emotional subtext in everyday interactions. Through practical tools and relatable examples, Lisa shows how intention, awareness, and empathy transform feedback, virtual meetings, email, and difficult conversations into opportunities for clarity, connection, and stronger working relationships.

GEN Z 101: Adapting Leadership For Next-Gen Talent

Lisa Walden draws on proprietary research and real-world insights into how Gen Z is reshaping workplace norms, expectations, and leadership dynamics. She explores what drives this generation’s approach to work, why their behaviors often seem contradictory to older leaders, and where friction commonly arises. With a balanced and practical approach, common frustrations are reframed into leadership opportunities that strengthen culture and future-proof organizations.

Testimonials

Lisa Walden was a terrific speaker – she really took the time to explore our workplace culture, the concerns and needs of our personnel, and the specific challenges we face in advance of the presentation to ensure that her words would have the greatest impact on our internal audience. She was unfailingly attentive, energetic, and creative in her approach and her ideas. Our team is very receptive to new perspectives, but it can be hard for someone on the outside to pierce our bubble and speak our language. Lisa was able to do this and light a fire for future change in our organization.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

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.

What happens after I send a brief?

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.

What does the typical fee range mean?

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.

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

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
