Transform workplace performance with Pamella Onoriode, speaker and career strategist. Pamella works with organisations to align hormonal intelligence with professional success, delivering data-driven solutions for women's career advancement and leadership development across BBC, ITV, and Channel 4.
Pamella Onoriode is a transformational career coach, speaker, and workplace strategist who equips professional women to align their career success with their biology. Her work disrupts outdated systems by connecting high performance not just with menopause—often the focus of workplace policies—but with the full hormonal lifecycle, spanning from graduate roles to C-suite leadership.
From surviving poverty on the streets of Rio de Janeiro to building a multifaceted career in the UK, Pamella’s personal journey informs her mission: to help one billion women take control of their health, careers, and futures. Diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 15 and told she might never have children, she spent years navigating severe menstrual pain, limited healthcare options, and a fraught relationship with her body. Today, she is the mother of two and a fierce advocate for challenging medical and societal narratives that limit women’s potential.
Pamella spent over two decades in senior production roles at the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and BT Sport, building deep expertise in leadership, negotiation, and performance under pressure. Along the way, she also became a certified emotional freedom therapist, corporate trainer, and Period Career Coach, and completed an MBA in Web3 and a diploma in forex trading.
As founder of Align Your Cycle, Advance Your Career, she supports professional women in navigating salary negotiations, career transitions, leadership growth, and confidence comebacks, using menstrual cycle awareness as a powerful strategy for decision-making, energy optimisation, and communication. She also works with organisations to design inclusive, data-driven policies around menstrual health, maternity reintegration, neurodivergence, and the often invisible “third shift” women manage daily. Pamella has delivered corporate masterclasses in hormonal resilience and coached C-suite women to increase their performance and drive sales, bridging the gap between personal wellbeing and commercial impact.
Pamella’s approach is grounded in lived experience, hormonal intelligence, and performance science. She believes syncing workflow to biology isn’t a “soft” option; it’s a strategic advantage. Through her coaching, consulting, and speaking, she continues to lead systemic change and inspire women to reclaim their time, energy, and voice, without shame or sacrifice.

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.
