Culture speaker Sharon Parmar helps scaling businesses build the high-performance culture they need to grow from £100M to £500M. A former FTSE 100 leader and creator of Resilience 2.0, Sharon has worked with HSBC, EY, and SnapLogic.
Sharon Parmar helps fast-growing businesses build the culture they need to scale from £100M to £500M in revenue, so their best people stay and growth becomes more predictable.
As CEO and Chief Heart Officer of Humanity Works Consultancy, Sharon draws on 20 years leading digital transformation in FTSE 100 and high-growth companies. She created the award-winning Resilience 2.0 framework, used by HSBC, EY, and SnapLogic, and was named one of the Telegraph and NatWest 100 Female Entrepreneurs to Watch.
Her Stronger Together Culture Operating System works in four steps: diagnose culture and capability gaps, design the growth system, coach leaders and teams, and embed the culture. It's a data-led approach that makes success repeatable as the business grows. At SnapLogic, she helped unite a global SaaS sales leadership team, contributing to a 23% fall in regrettable staff churn, a 70% rise in resilience scores, and further investor funding.
Audiences leave with a clear view of the culture risks that stall scaling businesses, practical habits for aligning leadership teams, and tools for building trust and psychological safety under pressure. Her story of rebuilding her life and leadership after a life-threatening illness gives the strategy a human anchor. She has spoken for Barclays and Everywoman, and delivered keynotes in London, Riyadh, Dubai, and Sweden.
For leadership teams preparing for their next stage of growth, Sharon connects culture directly to commercial performance.

To book Sharon Parmar, email sharon.parmar@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Sharon's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
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.
