Tom Morley Speaker Biography

PepTalk Speech Bubble
Founder of Instant Teamwork, a musically inspired team-building method
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Co-founder of Scritti Politti and percussionist for David Bowie and Madness
PepTalk Speech Bubble
Brings teams together through unique drumming and singing sessions
Tom Morley, known as 'The Rockstar Activator', began his career in the music industry with the 80s band Scritti Politti. Over the years, he has transformed his experiences into stand-up comedy for conference audiences, drawing on 40 years of stage presence. Initially a drummer, Tom later became a frontman for various performance troupes, earning his distinctive nickname.

Tom founded Instant Teamwork, a company specialising in teambuilding through activities like drumming and harmony singing. For the past 20 years, he has focused on making the sense of unity from these activities sustainable, bringing a customised set of tools to each session.

With a lifelong fascination for the creative process, Tom shares his knowledge of art, rhythm, and harmony. His journey includes playing drums with Scritti Politti in his 20s, songwriting in his 30s, and studying psychology and facilitation in his 40s. In his 50s, he established Instant Teamwork International.

Tom's approach is both experienced and humorous, making him equally effective with global boards of directors and local charity groups. His belief in overcoming natural fears to achieve great things has empowered thousands to work together more effectively.

His style, honed over the last decade with groups ranging from five to five thousand, sparks curiosity and invites people to step out of their comfort zones. Tom's enjoyment of the creative process encourages others to join him on his journey, expanding their horizons along the way.

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.
