Decode behaviour to drive performance with Vicky O'Farrell, behavioural strategist and people expert. Vicky equips executives with personality profiling techniques to adapt leadership styles and re-engage teams. Founder of Queen of Behaviours, she presents at major conferences including the National Sales Conference, serving clients across multiple sectors.
Vicky O'Farrell is a behavioural strategist who helps organisations address the UK's employee engagement crisis through small but powerful shifts that transform both professional and personal relationships. Her work focuses on translating behavioural insights into measurable workplace improvements.
Vicky founded Queen of Behaviours in 2013 after 25 years in corporate roles, advancing from sales to board-level director. She holds qualifications in personality profiling and has presented to thousands at conferences including the National Sales Conference. Her client base spans individual leaders, small teams, and large organisations across multiple sectors.
Vicky's approach centres on a fundamental principle: we can’t change other people’s personalities, but we can flex and adapt our own style to get the best out of those around us. She teaches executives and HR professionals to identify behavioural patterns in themselves and others, then apply specific adjustments that reduce workplace friction and increase productivity. Her methods directly address the statistic that only 10% of UK employees report being engaged at work (Gallup 2025), a factor contributing to burnout and organisational inefficiency. By helping leaders understand what motivates different personality types, Vicky provides tools to re-engage team members through targeted, behaviour-based interventions.
Audiences learn to recognise their own behavioural defaults, adapt their leadership style to different personality types, and implement small changes that strengthen both professional relationships and business outcomes. Her sessions combine psychological frameworks with immediately applicable workplace strategies.
Vicky works exclusively with clients committed to active learning and growth, delivering sessions that turn the foundations of human behaviour into concrete leadership skills.

By prioritising people, leaders can enhance performance and foster inclusive environments. This session promises actionable insights, grounded in emotional intelligence and engaging stories.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in the corporate world, Vicky O'Farrell discusses how sales is fundamentally personal and revolves around building relationships. She highlights that understanding diverse personalities and fostering trust are crucial for sales success. Vicky encourages sales leaders to shift from judgment to curiosity about what drives their clients. Attendees will learn how to identify client styles, address human dynamics to improve performance, and recognise when to support the sales person to retain clients effectively.
Vicky O'Farrell addresses the challenge of unmanaged behavioural conflict in organisations. She emphasises the importance of recognising misunderstandings before they escalate into blame, which distracts leaders from achieving results. Attendees will learn how to identify and manage conflict effectively, foster teamwork, and create a culture of understanding and respect, ultimately enhancing organisational performance.
In this workshop, Vicky O'Farrell uses personality profiling to help participants gain insights into their strengths, communication styles, and motivators. This understanding helps in navigating rules, problem-solving, and engaging in difficult conversations. Attendees will learn how to adapt their styles to enhance teamwork, improve communication, and reduce conflict, ultimately leading to increased productivity and more effective management.

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.
