Topics, sessions and talks
Shaun Flores dismantles myths about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and explores the hidden realities behind intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and recovery. Drawing on his personal journey and clinical insight, he exposes the stigma that silences men and limits true understanding. This talk helps workplaces and schools move beyond awareness toward genuine literacy and support, fostering a culture that recognises and responds to mental health with empathy and accuracy.
Shaun Flores unpacks how societal expectations of masculinity restrict emotional expression and connection. Through a candid, often humorous lens, he challenges cultural narratives that prize control over vulnerability. By reframing strength as self-awareness and empathy, he shows how men, and the communities around them, can break free from outdated scripts to build healthier, more authentic relationships both personally and professionally.
In a world fuelled by outrage and polarisation, Shaun Flores offers an alternative rooted in empathy and accountability. He explores the human psychology behind shame and defensiveness, and how dialogue can replace division. Audiences learn how to create inclusive environments that prioritise growth, understanding, and redemption - values that strengthen teams, classrooms, and communities alike.
Shaun Flores explores the growing challenge of misinformation and mental overload in the digital age. Using psychology and lived experience, he reveals how biases, algorithms, and cognitive shortcuts shape beliefs and behaviour. The session equips participants with practical tools to question assumptions, strengthen media literacy, and make better-informed decisions in a world that rewards speed over thought.
Blending personal story and behavioural science, Shaun Flores teaches audiences to embrace failure as a catalyst for growth. Through insights from exposure therapy and psychology, he shares strategies to reduce fear of rejection and build self-trust. This energising and relatable talk helps participants cultivate courage, persistence, and emotional resilience - skills that transform the way they approach both personal and professional challenges.

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.
