Laura Coombs is a talented English professional footballer known for her skill and dedication. She started playing football at seven and joined Arsenal’s youth team, making her first-team debut at 16. Coombs made her UEFA Women’s Champions League debut for Arsenal in 2009, helping the team achieve a 9–0 victory over PAOK Thessaloniki. In 2011, she moved to Chelsea, playing a key role in the team that reached the FA Women's Cup final in 2012. During her time at Chelsea, she also had loan spells with the Los Angeles Strikers and Liverpool. In 2017, she signed a two-year deal with Liverpool and stayed until 2019. She then joined Manchester City, where she helped win the 2020 FA Cup and the 2022 League Cup. Coombs extended her contract with Manchester City in May 2021 and made her 100th appearance for the club in December 2023. On the international stage, Coombs was part of the England U19 team that won the 2009 UEFA Women’s Under-19 Championship. She earned her first senior cap for England in October 2015 and returned to the national squad for the 2023 Arnold Clark Cup and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Coombs was named PFA WSL Fan’s Player of the Month in 2022 and received legacy number 193 from the England Women's national team. Beyond football, she advocates for women in sports and is a sought-after public speaker, sharing her experiences to inspire others.

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.
