Tim Peake is one of Britain's most decorated modern explorers, a former Army officer and test pilot who became the first British astronaut to live and work aboard the International Space Station.
Selected from more than 8,000 applicants, he spent six months on the European Space Agency's Principia mission, completing a spacewalk and taking part in over 250 scientific experiments. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for services to space research and education, and remains an ambassador for the Scouts.
Tim brings audiences a rare, first-hand account of leadership under extreme pressure: isolation, the constant threat of space debris, fire, and medical emergency, and the split-second decision making a spacewalk demands. His military background in combat search and rescue and high-risk flight testing adds a second layer of insight into performing when conditions are unclear and the stakes are absolute.
With warmth and humour, Tim shares what six months orbiting Earth taught him about trust, communication, and staying focused when setbacks hit. Audiences leave with practical tools for leading distributed teams, sharpening judgement under uncertainty, and building the kind of resilience that holds up when it matters most.
Book Tim Peake to give your organisation a first-hand lesson in leadership, teamwork, and performing at the edge of possibility.
Topics, sessions and talks
Tim Peake's training as an Army officer, test pilot, and astronaut gave him a rare insight into achieving mission success while managing risk and uncertainty. Drawing on his six months aboard the International Space Station, he shares vivid stories, striking photographs, and a distinctive view of planet Earth. Delivered with warmth and humour, the session offers more than a recipe for thriving in extreme environments, it reframes how audiences think about resilience, perspective, and what matters most in their own lives.
In 2016, Tim Peake returned from a six-month mission to the International Space Station, one of the most demanding environments to live and work in. He unpacks what it takes to manage extreme isolation, the threat of space debris, fire, or medical emergency, and the rigours of a spacewalk, leadership, clear communication, and the ability to function as an effective team while working remotely. Audiences leave with a sharper sense of what accountability looks like when the margin for error is zero.
Tim offers your team inspiration from a real-life astronaut. His unique experiences, from high-pressure military roles to space exploration, provide powerful lessons in resilience, innovation, and teamwork. Elevate your team's ambition and drive, learning from someone who's truly pushed the boundaries of what's possible.

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.
