Build entrepreneurial resilience and competitive advantage with Manjit Minhas, leadership speaker and Dragons' Den investor. Manjit works with organizations to develop startup strategies, mentorship frameworks, and goal-setting systems, drawing from her experience scaling North America's largest independent brewery and serving on Fortune 500 boards.
Manjit Minhas turned $10,000 and a bold idea into one of the largest breweries in North America, proving that age and gender are no barriers to building an industry leader. As co-founder of Minhas Brewery, Distillery and Winery, she oversees production and worldwide distribution of over 90 brands. Manjit has spent 11 seasons as a star investor on CBC's Dragons' Den and serves on the boards of Enbridge, ATB Financial, and the YYC Airport Authority.
Manjit's path from 19-year-old startup founder to global brand leader gives her a practical understanding of what it takes to break into competitive industries and scale. Her board positions across energy, finance, and transportation provide her with a wide lens on the Canadian economy, while her investments in dozens of entrepreneurs through Dragons' Den keep her connected to the realities facing growing businesses today.
Audiences leave Manjit's sessions with concrete strategies for setting goals that drive results, guidance on finding and working with mentors at every career stage, and a framework for competing in industries where the odds are stacked against you. Her advice applies equally to new entrepreneurs, longtime leaders, and aspiring executives looking to transform their careers.
Book Manjit Minhas to give your audience a clear, proven roadmap from someone who built her success from scratch.
Manjit brings the combination of operational scale, building one of North America's largest breweries from a $10,000 start, and active board governance across energy, finance and infrastructure. Her 11 seasons investing on Dragons' Den means she's assessed hundreds of pitches and can translate that pattern recognition into frameworks your leaders can apply immediately to growth decisions and competitive positioning.

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.
