Testimonials

At a time of major organizational change in our organization, Nouman provided thoughtful guidance and counsel to our board and our grant review team chairs, which was critical to ensuring good governance at the community and provincial level. As we prepared for a significant strategy shift, having the opportunity for directors and advisors to explore how they can meaningfully discharge their roles and responsibilities to achieve greater public benefit was a key success factor. Nouman was an engaging and dynamic facilitator who was able to connect with people from very diverse backgrounds and experiences.

He has shared and transferred both strategic as well as practical and interpersonal tactics and tools that our leadership team can use to support and promote innovative, creative and critical thinking and expression in a safe work environment where this is encouraged and valued.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

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.

What happens after I send a brief?

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.

What does the typical fee range mean?

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.

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

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
