Mike Pagan is a keynote speaker and performance consultant who helps organisations close the gap between what their people are capable of and what they actually deliver.
Mike is a TEDx featured speaker, executive coach, board advisor, and the author of Mental Wealth: Unlock Your Potential and FAFF: The Power of Doing Without Achieving. His TEDx talk explores leadership, responsibility, and human behaviour, drawing on more than twenty years spent developing people.
Mike works with leaders and teams who are skilled and experienced but quietly underperforming, not through lack of talent but because they are stretched, isolated, and operating below their capabilities, often within hybrid working arrangements that have let standards slip. He cuts through the noise to identify precisely what is getting in the way of performance, then shows people how to close that gap quickly, pairing direct feedback with practical, immediately applicable tools.
Audiences leave with a clear framework for closing their own performance gap, practical tools for more direct and productive conversations, renewed accountability without a culture of blame, and a mindset shift that sticks beyond the event.
Book Mike for a direct, no-nonsense perspective that turns underperformance into measurable, lasting change.
Topics, sessions and talks
Most teams do not have an expertise problem, they have a performance gap. Mike Pagan works with leaders who are talented and experienced yet quietly underperforming, held back by isolation, stretched capacity, and standards that slipped when hybrid work arrived. Drawing on his direct, no-nonsense style, he pinpoints exactly what is getting in the way and shows teams how to close the gap fast. Audiences leave with a practical framework for accountability, sharper decisions, and standards that hold.

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.
