With a career spanning more than two decades, she has supported elite teams and organisations, exploring how people can perform at their best while staying true to their values.

Beyond sport, Pippa founded the culture and ethics consultancy Bluestone Edge and has written influential books, including Fear Less, which explores how to live and compete with less fear and more fulfilment.

With thoughtful insight, she shows how leaders can align values with performance goals, offering a compelling perspective on what it takes to create a sustainable culture of excellence.

She draws from her work with world-class athletes to show how individuals and teams can avoid burnout, manage pressure and unlock creativity under stress. With a style that combines clarity and warmth, she highlights practical ways to sustain performance over time while remaining grounded, energised and engaged.

She reflects on her career at the intersection of sport, psychology and culture to illustrate how redefining success can inspire growth, well-being and a deeper love for the game. With an engaging and thought-provoking approach, she invites audiences to see winning in new ways, opening up possibilities for healthier competition, greater inclusion and more meaningful achievements.

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.
