Topics, sessions and talks
If your brain is your hardware, then your ability to think, make decisions and create habitual or behavioural changes is your software, and to upgrade, the brain needs to be in good working order.
Many people struggle to see the link between mental performance and physical health, failing to consider that the brain and its neurological function is just as material as any other organ. In this talk, Nicole Vignola will help you understand the fundamentals of brain health; the mechanisms that drive our thoughts and decisions, and how we can leverage our hardware to reach peak mental performance.
We constantly hear about the negative aspects of stress, but rarely do we hear about its positive impact. In this talk, Nicole Vignola explains how some stress is good. By understanding the difference between acute and chronic stress, and understanding how our mindset towards stress shapes its impact, we can start to dismantle the hold it has. By understanding the mechanisms of stress, both acute and chronic, and how to manage it, we can build our resilience to it so that we can work in a hectic environment whilst staying calm, or just better deal with life’s myriad adversities.
Everyone is capable of change, be it an individual or the organisational collective. Nicole Vignola’s talk will help leaders leverage understandings of neuroscientific research and behavioural change psychology to cultivate a positive work environment and foster behavioural transformations in their teams. By aligning these principles with organisational strategies, workplaces can create long-lasting and constructive shifts in employee behaviour and overall culture.
Book Nicole Vignola as your speaker to gain actionable insights from a leading neuroscientist and acclaimed author. Her practical, science-backed methods will equip your team to enhance mental well-being and break free from limiting habits. Recognised as "Instagram's favourite brain expert," Nicole makes complex neuroscience accessible and impactful for everyone.

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.
