Why Doing Good Is Good For Business

Whatever industry your company is in, there exists a need to give back to your broader community. But where to begin? You might not be able to solve a particular issue overnight, but you can start a journey to become as successful at doing good as you are at doing business. Joshua Coombes believes these two things are interlinked and that embodying this ethos can create profound shifts in the overall wellbeing of your team, which ripples out to every aspect of your business, including your clients. Every team, big or small, has a way to connect their skills, products or services to help people and this planet. Your team will come away from the talk with new motivation to make a difference with the opportunities available and a greater connection to our common humanity and the role they can play to contribute.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. 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.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.

Reach out for personalised recommendations and detailed information on specific speaker fees. We’re here to offer a tailored service and are always happy to discuss your unique requirements!
