Simon Sinek is an internationally renowned speaker, author, and executive coach who is transforming how corporate clients and individuals perceive optimism and motivation. Simon is in high demand as a motivational speaker and has been recognised in the prestigious Thinkers50 list.
In 2021, Global Gurus named him the best motivational speaker in the world. Simon gained global acclaim with his TED talk "Why Great Leaders Inspire Action," the second most-watched TED talk ever. He has delivered talks on various topics and worked with organisations such as the UN Global Compact Conference and the US Government.
Simon has authored five best-selling books, including "Start with Why" and "Leaders Eat Last."

A trained ethnographer, Simon is fascinated by people and organisations that make the greatest impact. He has discovered patterns in how they think, act, and communicate and the environments where people operate at their best.
Simon is best known for his TED Talk on the concept of WHY, which was viewed over 60 million times, and his video on millennials in the workplace, which reached 80 million views in its first week and has been seen hundreds of millions of times.
Topics, sessions and talks
Any person or organization can explain what they do. Some can explain how they are different from the rest. Very few can clearly articulate why. The WHY is not about money or profit—those are results. The WHY inspires us and those around us.
When Simon discovered the WHY, it changed his life. His bestselling book, Start with WHY, and viral TED Talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, have inspired millions of people and organizations worldwide to think, act, and operate from the inside out.

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.
