Brian Biro is a breakthrough leadership speaker who has delivered more than 2,000 interactive presentations worldwide over the past 36 years, turning corporate keynotes into experiences audiences and their teams remember for years afterward.
He is the author of 16 books, including the bestseller Beyond Success and his newest release, Lessons from the Legends, which reached number one on Amazon. A Stanford University graduate with an MBA from UCLA, Brian previously served as vice president of a Pacific Northwest transportation company.
At that company, Brian helped lead a turnaround that quadrupled revenue and earned recognition as the industry leader in customer service. He brings that same results focus to the stage, using a signature board-breaking exercise that moves every participant from spectator to active contributor, so leadership and change principles are experienced firsthand rather than simply discussed.
Attendees leave with a personal breakthrough goal they set themselves, a practical framework for leading through change built on vision, energy, and presence, and a direct experience of full team engagement, the kind that has brought Lockheed Martin, Kaiser Permanente, and Microsoft back to book him again and again.
Book Brian to turn a conference keynote into a shared breakthrough experience an organization keeps returning to.
Topics, sessions and talks
Brian Biro built Breakthrough Leadership around the idea that every organization is in the business of helping people break through their own limits. Participants learn to shape their future, strengthen teams and relationships, and raise the energy they bring to work. The session closes with Brian's board-breaking experience, where each person names a personal barrier, breaks through a one-inch wooden board in front of a cheering team, and leaves with a concrete decision about the leader they intend to become.
Brian Biro built Breakthrough to Change Mastery around a simple distinction: the difference between surviving change and thriving on it comes down to controlling the controllables. Brian moves participants from watching the presentation to taking an active part in it, working through the three elements he returns to throughout the session, vision, energy, and presence. Attendees leave with a practical way to build momentum and confidence in their own teams the next time change arrives unannounced.
Brian Biro built The Master Asker around a straightforward premise: building trust, accountability, and resilience in a team depends on asking more than telling. Participants learn how the right questions raise energy, help colleagues feel valued and respected, and turn pushback into collaboration rather than resistance. Working through Brian's interactive format, attendees practice the technique in real time rather than simply hearing about it, and leave with a repeatable way to build trust with every person on their team.
Brian Biro has delivered more than 2,000 presentations over 36 years, including repeat engagements with Lockheed Martin, Kaiser Permanente, and Microsoft, and is the author of 16 books. That combination of sustained client relationships and published thought leadership gives audiences a speaker whose frameworks have already been tested at scale.

To book Brian Biro, email brian.biro@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 Brian'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.
