Topics, sessions and talks
Covid was a great reckoning for every industry. Still, as pandemic measures have loosened up, the truth is we’re not reverting to “business as usual.” In fact, just the opposite. With trending headlines around “The Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting”, the post-Covid workforce’s priorities have clearly changed. The larger question is, why hasn’t our leadership?
As a woman of color, a wife, a mother, and a professional woman in a male-dominated industry, Stephanie Chung is no stranger to navigating the uniquely challenging climb of her professional and personal life. In this session, Stephanie pulls from the highs and lows of her own story and lessons learned. She invites women from all backgrounds and career stages to be empowered and to achieve what they’ve been told they couldn’t – and then some.

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.
