Neil Edge
Neil Edge helps leaders across the UK and Europe protect decision quality under continuous pressure. A cognitive endurance speaker and mental performance coach to professional triathletes, Neil built The RESET Framework to reduce Decision Debt.
Neil Edge is a cognitive endurance speaker who helps leaders across the UK and Europe protect decision quality and sustain elite cognitive performance under continuous pressure.
His work is built on The RESET Framework, a structure he developed to reduce Decision Debt, the accumulated cost of decisions made while under strain. Neil is also a mental performance coach to a number of professional triathletes, and has spoken at events including Arctic15 in Helsinki, leading business schools in Paris, and the Mercedes-Benz Breakfast Club.
Coaching athletes who must sustain judgement and composure across hours of physical and mental strain gives Neil a direct line into what elite cognitive performance actually requires. He applies the same principles to corporate leaders, showing how cognitive load accumulates unnoticed under continuous pressure and how early signs of decision fatigue can be identified and managed before they erode judgement.
Audiences leave with a clear framework for spotting the build-up of Decision Debt in their own decision-making, practical tools for resetting cognitive capacity under sustained pressure, and a sharper understanding of how to protect judgement quality when conditions are demanding and relentless.
Book Neil to give your leadership team a proven, athlete-tested framework for making better decisions under continuous pressure.

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.
