Keith Edmonds Speaker Biography

PepTalk Speech Bubble
Survivor of severe childhood abuse
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Inspirational Speaker and Life Coach
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Advocate for overcoming adversity and personal transformation
As a young child, Keith Edmonds had already overcome more than most will face in a lifetime. At just fourteen months old, his mother's boyfriend heartlessly held Keith's face against an electric heater, scarring him for life. Not expected to live through the night, he miraculously recovered, but endured years of surgeries to give him a 'normal' appearance. Throughout his young life, Keith was bullied and lonely, leading to years of depression and self-destruction. At the age of 13, Keith began abusing alcohol. The many years of masking his pain led to over two decades of depression, extreme substance abuse, and run-ins with the law. It wasn't until his 35th birthday when Keith decided to leave behind a life of resentment, take control of his life, and become who he was truly meant to be. Now for nearly a decade, Keith has used his story of transformation to inspire others. His no-excuses approach to life encourages people and businesses to overcome barriers and take control of reaching their full potential. He teaches relevant and retainable tools to help individuals and groups reach their goals. His message is transformational and capable of touching those at every level of an organisation.

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.

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.
