Nicolas Hamilton, who was born with Cerebral Palsy affecting his leg muscles, initially relied on a wheelchair for mobility. However, he defied expectations by undergoing years of rigorous training, which enabled him to walk unaided by the age of 17.
This remarkable achievement not only proved his determination but also fueled his dream of becoming a racing driver. Despite being told in his childhood that he would never walk, Nicolas's unwavering determination allowed him to not only achieve this milestone but also establish himself as a promising racing driver in the highly competitive world of motorsport. This accomplishment is particularly significant considering his early prognosis.
Beyond his success as a racer, Nicolas is passionate about sharing his inspiring journey and highlighting the crucial role of attitude in achieving one's ambitions. Through his relatable and friendly keynote speeches, he focuses on motivation, overcoming adversity, and the importance of teamwork.
Drawing from his personal experiences and the challenges he has conquered, Nicolas emphasizes that ambition knows no limits when coupled with the right mindset.
Nicolas will inspire your team with a real-life example of overcoming adversity, highlight the power of determination, and underscore the importance of teamwork. His journey from wheelchair to race car driver embodies resilience and ambition, motivating your team to transcend their perceived limits.

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.
