Chris Britton is Group People Experience Director at one of the world's largest technology companies, leading culture and employee experience across 44 countries and 12,000 employees.
He was named on HR magazine's Most Influential list for 2026, recognised for his thinking on workplace culture and employee appreciation. His bestselling book, Behind the I'm Fine: The Truth About Modern Day Masculinity, grew from his experience of post-natal depression and identity struggles after his first daughter was born.
Chris brings a third specialism: decision-making under pressure. A professional football referee and serving Special Constable with Sussex Police, he has spent over a decade applying the UK Police National Decision Model to high-stakes situations, including serious violent crime, and adapted it into the Corporate Leadership Decision Model, a five-stage framework built around tools such as the 70% Rule, the Front-Page Test, and the Survivor's Question.
Audiences leave with practical tools for decision-making under pressure, a clearer sense of how appreciation drives performance, and a more open way of talking about men's health and identity in the workplace. Chris grounds each theme in data, personal experience, and stories his audiences can apply immediately.
Book Chris to bring audiences a powerful mix of workplace culture insight, honest storytelling, and battle-tested decision-making tools.

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.
