Matt Weston is a British skeleton athlete who has earned two Olympic gold medals and multiple World Cup victories through technical precision and explosive speed on the ice.
Matt competes on the international circuit and has built a reputation for professionalism and relentless improvement. He represents Great Britain in a sport that demands split-second decisions at speeds exceeding 80 mph, where margins between winning and losing are measured in hundredths of seconds.
Matt translates his experience navigating high-pressure competition into practical insights for organisations and teams. He explores how athletes build trust in their preparation when there is no room for error, how they maintain focus when conditions change rapidly, and how they convert fear into fuel for performance. His approach connects the mental demands of elite sport to challenges people face in business, leadership, and personal development.
Audiences learn how to make better decisions under pressure, build confidence through deliberate preparation, and maintain composure when stakes are high. Matt demonstrates how commitment to incremental gains creates breakthrough results and why trusting the process matters more than obsessing over outcomes.
Book Matt to bring Olympic-level performance thinking to your event with authenticity and real-world application that resonates beyond the stage.

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.
