Topics, sessions and talks
Our brains naturally motivate us to connect with others, a result of thousands of years of evolution crucial for human survival and thriving. However, our brains have not evolved as quickly as our society, creating barriers in modern engagement. In this masterclass, attendees will learn from Asad Dhunna about how our brains resist change and novelty, leading to an "avoidant" motivation system. This system prioritises familiarity, causing issues like siloed organisations. The session will introduce the "Approach" motivation system, based on acceptance and curiosity, and provide tips to foster curiosity, embrace differences, and grow both individually and corporately.
Asad Dhunna offers your team insights into diversity and inclusion, drawing from his vast experience with top brands and his activism. His expertise will inspire actionable change, making diversity a shared responsibility within your organisationd, ultimately driving innovation, enhancing team dynamics, and improving overall business performance.

Asad Dhunna structures his masterclass around a contrast between two neurological frameworks — the "avoidant" motivation system, which prioritises familiarity and drives siloed behaviour, and the "Approach" motivation system, grounded in acceptance and curiosity — using this model to deliver practical tips for individual and organisational change.
Asad Dhunna speaks on inclusion and belonging, the neuroscience of change resistance, and building curiosity-driven organisational cultures. He is the founder of The Unmistakables, an award-winning diversity consultancy whose clients include HSBC, Netflix, and Expedia.
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.
