Testimonials

Coach Mazey delivered an impactful and inspiring talk on leadership to our supervisors. His ability to relate real life experiences with leadership principles left a lasting impression on our team, all while equipping us with valuable tools to lead more effectively.

Tim

I have had the honor of watching Coach Mazey develop the WVU Baseball program for many years. Watching him transition into leadership development speaking engagements is an even bigger win for anyone able to attend one of his talks. His personal story with his son Wammer is one of a kind, and is motivating enough to make anyone feel like they can run through a brick wall. Coach Mazey can make anyone in the room feel like they can and will overcome any type of adversity they may be facing whether it be personal or professional. Coach Mazey’s speaking skills are an absolute home run.

Maleah

Coach Mazey has the keen ability to connect with each person in the audience - regardless of where they are on their personal or professional journey. He’s humble, authentic, and he’s the master of practicing what he preaches. As someone who has a very short attention span, I find myself staying 100% focused on his message when he speaks. Coach Mazey’s expertise in team building, leadership, and performance are a perfect match for what audiences want and need to hear!

Most bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker and are set out clearly in the contract before you confirm, so there are no surprises. PepTalk's team supports you through any change. Contact hello@getapeptalk.com as soon as plans shift.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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