Livia Bernardini
Equip leaders to integrate AI and intuition with Livia Bernardini, keynote speaker on decision-making and leadership strategy. Livia works with C-suite teams to apply neuroscience-backed frameworks, trusted by clients including McKinsey, Ferrari, and Unilever across four continents.
Livia Bernardini has spent more than two decades helping global organisations make better decisions at the intersection of brand, strategy, technology, and human judgement.
She has led complex transformation programmes for organisations including McKinsey, Deloitte, L'Oréal, Barclays, Dyson, Ferrari, and Unilever, advising boards and C-suite leaders across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Alongside her advisory work, Livia guest lectures at Hult International Business School and has featured in publications including Forbes, Fortune, and the Telegraph and writes her weekly newsletter, Intuition Edge.
Livia's central argument- that intuition is not instinct or guesswork, but pattern recognition that can be trained- is grounded in neuroscience and two decades of operational experience. Her frameworks, including the Decision Making Grid and SPACE methodology, give leaders a practical way to integrate analytical data, AI output, and human sensing into decisions that hold under pressure.
Audiences leave Livia's sessions with a science-backed understanding of how intuition works and why it matters more as AI expands, practical tools for stress-testing AI output and knowing when to trust it, and a shared decision-making language that aligns teams around judgement and accountability.
Book Livia to give your leaders a trainable approach to intuition and a more disciplined, accountable way to decide in the age of AI.
Topics, sessions and talks
In the age of AI, decision-making has become more demanding, not less. Livia Bernardini shows leaders why intuition remains critical as AI reshapes what we see and analyse. Drawing on two decades advising boards and C-suite leaders, she argues that discernment and accountability, not more data, separate good decisions from lucky ones. Livia helps audiences integrate intuitive signals with data and AI insight rather than treating them as rivals.
This working session, led by Livia Bernardini, turns sensing into a shared, disciplined input that sits alongside data and AI rather than competing with it. Built around the team's live decisions and AI use cases, it gives leaders a trainable approach to intuition, treated as signal rather than opinion or bias. Participants sharpen judgement under uncertainty, stress-test AI output, and use AI more intentionally while keeping ownership of the decision.

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.
