Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton Speaker Biography

PepTalk Speech Bubble
One of the world's most senior woman fire officers
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Leading international expert on risk-critical decision-making
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Author of "Heat of the Moment" and "The Gender Bias"
Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton is one of the world's most senior female fire officers, neuroscientist, and author, recognised for her expertise in risk-critical decision-making during crises. Her journey began when she left home, facing significant personal challenges, including a period of homelessness. Undeterred, she embarked on a career as a firefighter while pursuing education at night school, ultimately earning a 1st Class Honours degree in Psychology, a Master's in International Fire Service Development, and a PhD in Behavioural Neuroscience.

Sabrina has established herself as a leading authority in her field, serving as an Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University. She has presented her work worldwide and used her research to change deeply ingrained national policy, earning international acclaim. She has attained the highest rank in the UK as a Chief Fire Officer. Her operational experience includes leading the fire service response to major incidents such as the London Bridge terror attack, the Finsbury Park terror attack, and the aftermath of Grenfell.

Sabrina examines the fundamentals of decision-making, behaviour, and cognition as a researcher. As a fire officer, she brings first-hand experience of how these traits operate in real, emotionally charged, stressful, and uncertain situations. She also explores how the brain interprets information and how events become associated with psychological and social responses in the long term.

In her books, including the best-selling Heat of the Moment and Gender Bias: The Barriers That Hold Women Back, Sabrina shares insights from her experiences on the frontline and analyses the systemic barriers women face in various sectors. Her work offers practical solutions to address these challenges, making her a vital voice in discussions about gender equality and social mobility.

Sabrina's advocacy extends beyond her professional achievements; she is an ambassador for The Big Issue and Street Vet, reflecting her dedication to social change. Her recognition as one of The Big Issue’s top 100 changemakers and her features in Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan highlight her influence and commitment to making a difference. Through her work, Sabrina inspires others to overcome adversity and make informed decisions, both in life and in business.

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

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
