At a glance

  • Best-selling author of The 5 Second Rule
  • Creator of popular online courses on confidence and mindset
  • Influential social media personality with 60M+ monthly followers
Mel Robbins is the creator and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast, one of the most-followed shows in the world, and the author of The Let Them Theory, the top-selling nonfiction book of 2025. The Let Them Theory has sold more than 8 million copies in its first eleven months and topped the New York Times, Amazon, Audible, and Sunday Times bestseller lists. Her earlier books, The 5 Second Rule and The High 5 Habit, have sold millions of copies and been translated into 65 languages. The Mel Robbins Podcast has been nominated for the first Golden Globe Award for Best Podcast. Mel's work centers on a simple idea: real change comes from learning specific tools, not willpower alone. Through her media company, 143 Studios, she has brought that thinking into partnerships with Starbucks, JPMorgan Chase, and LinkedIn, translating personal behavior change into organizational results. The Wall Street Journal has called her a billion-view podcaster, and TIME Magazine credits her with giving millions of listeners a reason to believe in themselves. Audiences leave with practical, research-backed tools for building confidence, taking action under pressure, and motivating the people around them, at work and at home. Mel's frameworks give teams a clear, repeatable way to close the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Book Mel to give your audience a global voice on behavior change with a message they will actually put into practice.

The High 5 Habit: Take Control Of Your Life With One Simple Habit
Mel Robbins tackles the question every leader faces: how to motivate and inspire a team consistently. Drawing on the research behind her international best-seller The High 5 Habit, and the simple habit she discovered one morning, Mel shows that inspiring others starts with learning to inspire yourself first. She introduces the High 5 Leader approach, built on five habits of celebration and support, and gives audiences a research-backed way to build cohesive, motivated teams and navigate change with confidence.
The 5 Second Rule
Mel Robbins argues it isn't enough to tell people what to do, they need to be shown how to change. The 5 Second Rule began as a trick Mel created to get out of bed during the hardest period of her life, now used by healthcare professionals, veterans' organizations, and leading brands. Through stories and humor, Mel walks audiences through the science of habits and the courage behind five-second decisions, sending teams home ready to act.

Testimonials

I have been doing what I do for over 20 years, almost 8 with HFMA, and in that time I have never worked with a speaker as engaged as Mel. Her commitment and investment in making ours a successful event is unprecedented. I look forward to working with her on the rest of our program.

Director, Conferences and Travel, HFMA

Mel was inspirational, comforting, challenging and pragmatic, all wrapped into one. Although our engagement was done virtually, she made all 4,000 associates feel that she was in their living room, engaging them directly. Her impact will be profound, both personally for our associates, as well as for our business as we emerge stronger in a post COVID world.

I need a last-minute speaker. Can PepTalk help?

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.

How do I brief an insights speaker on my organisation's strategic context?

Share your organisation's top 3 strategic priorities, current challenges, and the audience's role in delivering them. A simple one-page brief works perfectly. PepTalk speakers use this context to tailor insights that feel genuinely relevant — making your event far more impactful.
