Book Nick Wealthall to help your people sharpen decision-making under pressure, build resilience, and turn bold ideas into commercial results. A former professional poker player, Nick has delivered proven impact with WTW, Savills, Lockton Insurance and the RFU.
Nick Wealthall is an expert in unlocking the commercial potential for leaders and teams, transforming attitudes and behaviours by reframing mindsets, building resilience, and driving growth ideas into action. His unique professional poker and TV presentation background informs his dynamic approach to projects and talks.
After graduating from Cambridge, Nick began his career in sales, quickly rising through the ranks before being headhunted to work with high-net-worth clients in wealth management. During this time, his passion for poker grew, and he moved to Las Vegas to play professionally, sharpening decision-making skills that would later define his business approach.
Returning to England, Nick pursued broadcasting, working as a comedy writer and presenter on shows like "8 Out of 10 Cats" and "Have I Got News For You". He also hosted and commented on major Sky and Channel 4 poker events.
Nick returned to sales and training, launching an online poker training business with less than £1,000. Over nine years, he grew Transform My Poker into the UK’s leading poker training company, with thousands of customers across 60 countries and sales exceeding £2 million.
Now, Nick focuses on helping corporates and SMEs unlock their commercial potential through consultancy and development programs, sharing the lessons he's learned in poker, business, and working with top clients. His mission is to help others see commercial growth as a rewarding challenge, not an intimidating task, to allow individuals and businesses to fulfil their potential.
He’s trusted to do this and has a track record of results with major organisations including WTW, Savills, Lockton Insurance, the RFU and many more.

No, PepTalk doesn't charge a booking fee. You pay the speaker's fee plus any travel and expenses, which PepTalk confirms upfront in your quote. The shortlist, contracting and event-day logistics are included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
PepTalk sends a shortlist of matched speakers within 24 hours, each with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. The more you share about your date, audience, format, objectives and budget, the closer the match. Once you choose, PepTalk handles the contract, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range on a PepTalk speaker profile is a guide to what that speaker usually costs for an in-person event in their home market, shown in their local currency. The final fee depends on format, location, date and session length. Virtual and shorter sessions usually cost less, and international travel and peak dates cost more. PepTalk confirms the exact fee in your currency once it has your brief.
No. PepTalk represents 15,000+ speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers, some booked directly and others through their agents and agencies worldwide. The process is the same for all of them: PepTalk checks availability, negotiates the fee and manages the contract and logistics.
