Topics, Sessions And Talks
Diana Kander explores how curiosity can become the most valuable asset in navigating uncertainty and sparking innovation. As roles expand and environments grow more complex, the pressure to stay relevant and do more with less increases. Drawing from years of entrepreneurship and corporate consulting, she shares a powerful framework that helps individuals uncover blind spots, reframe problems, and foster a culture that makes innovation second nature. With energy and practical insight, she inspires audiences to redefine themselves as everyday innovators.
Diana challenges sales teams to rethink outdated methods and cut through the noise by harnessing curiosity and clear prioritisation. Using engaging frameworks like the 1–10 Filter, Kill the Zombies, and the Blank Sheet Method, she reveals how small shifts in mindset can drive major improvements in sales strategy and client engagement. With a high-impact delivery style and sharp practical tools, she empowers teams to focus on what truly matters and deliver standout results in a fast-moving marketplace.

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.

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.
