Topics, sessions and talks

Beating Burnout And Building Resilience
Sonya Stattmann helps audiences break the cycle of chronic stress and burnout through simple, science-backed techniques. Drawing from neuroscience and practical tools, she explains how the nervous system drives stress and demonstrates methods for instant regulation and long-term resilience. Participants learn how to reset in real time, shift daily habits, and create lasting stability even in high-pressure environments. Her calm, grounded delivery makes complex science feel accessible and immediately useful.
Navigating Change And Thriving Through Uncertainty
Sonya Stattmann explores the psychology and biology of change, revealing why transition so often feels uncomfortable and how to adapt with confidence. Using neuroscience and body-based strategies, she guides participants in expanding capacity and building resilience through uncertainty. Her framework helps teams move beyond resistance to find strength and stability during transformation, offering practical, restorative tools that support wellbeing and adaptability in dynamic environments.
Energy Management Is The New Time Management
In this refreshing take on performance and productivity, Sonya Stattmann challenges traditional ideas of time management by introducing an energy-based model rooted in neuroscience. She shows how understanding the body’s natural rhythms can enhance focus, creativity, and sustainability. Participants learn to align energy with priorities and create balance without sacrificing results. The session offers a modern framework for leaders and teams to achieve more by working with, rather than against, their biology.
Leadership Without Burnout
Sonya Stattmann redefines leadership by emphasising regulation, energy, and sustainable success over constant output. Drawing on decades of experience, she illustrates how leaders can model resilience, protect their energy, and foster wellbeing cultures that elevate performance across entire teams. Through neuroscience and practical insight, she helps leaders replace burnout-driven habits with strategies that build stability, presence, and long-term effectiveness. A timely reset for anyone leading in demanding environments.
Beyond Goal Setting To Goal Getting
Sonya helps teams transform how they approach goals by combining behavioural science and practical psychology. She reveals why motivation fades, how the nervous system impacts focus, and the biological processes that drive sustained achievement. Attendees learn to bridge the gap between intention and execution through clear, actionable methods that turn goals into tangible results. A powerful session for teams seeking renewed focus and momentum across projects and performance.

I need a last-minute speaker. Can PepTalk help?

Yes. PepTalk regularly handles last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, host, or comedian quickly, often within days. Availability narrows as the date nears, so get in touch as early as you can. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on the PepTalk website?

Yes. If a speaker isn't listed, tell PepTalk their name and the team will approach them for you. The network extends well beyond the public roster, and PepTalk regularly books speakers who don't appear on the site. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with the name.

How quickly will I get a speaker shortlist?

You'll receive a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours of sharing your brief. Each suggestion comes with profiles, fees, and PepTalk's recommendation on the strongest fit. If you need options sooner for an urgent event, say so and the team will move faster. Start at getapeptalk.com.

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 does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

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.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

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?

Not necessarily.

Alongside direct talent, 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.

PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Can I book a speaker for a virtual or hybrid event?

Yes. Most PepTalk speakers deliver virtual and hybrid sessions with live Q&A, and virtual keynotes usually cost less than in-person because there is no travel. Tell us your platform and format and we'll match speakers experienced in online delivery. Start at getapeptalk.com.
