Topics, sessions and talks
Wars have been fought because of something wrong that was said, and relationships have ended because someone couldn’t say something in the right way. It is important to choose your words wisely because humans are easily programmed by what they hear. In this presentation, Mohammed Qahtani will give examples of things we say around the house, in our relationships or at work and how we can rephrase it better to get people to do what we want or accept our point of view.
Change will always come our way, whether we like it or not. And sometimes, we have to be the source of change to cope with the fast-advancing world around us. In this presentation, Mohammed Qahtani will discuss the five steps to cope with changes and make it a habit to always want something new and more in life.
Everyone wants to be something big in life. But mostly we don’t know what it is or how to begin doing it. This feeling of aimless life is the reason that we stick to a rotten routine in our lives and don’t dare to try something new. In this presentation Mohammed Qahtani introduces the seven steps to achieving something meaningful in life and how to transition from one step to the next.
It is a known fact that the best in business are those who can present and communicate well. In this two-day workshop, Mohammed Qahtani will teach your team the most important techniques for grabbing the attention of the audience, structuring their speeches, using their stage and tone of voice, and how to practice effectively.
A good salesperson is one who understands the client and knows how to persuade them. In this workshop, Mohammed Qahtani teaches your team how to understand their client's personality and use the best tactics to negotiate a deal.

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.
