Advocate for mental health awareness and youth development
Lee Hendrie is a former England international and Aston Villa midfielder who made nearly 500 career appearances across a 17-year career in professional football. Renowned for his creativity, flair, and work ethic, he became a key figure in Aston Villa’s midfield during the Premier League era and represented England at senior, under-21, and B level.

After retiring from football, Lee transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a regular pundit and co-commentator for Sky Sports. His articulate insight and deep understanding of the game have earned him a respected voice in sports media. Beyond punditry, he has channelled his experience into developing young talent through the Lee Hendrie Academy, which provides coaching, education, and pathways into professional and semi-professional football. He is also a director of FootieBugs, an early-years football programme focused on confidence, teamwork, and physical development.

Lee’s personal story has inspired many. Having faced significant financial and emotional challenges after his playing career, he has spoken candidly about his struggles with mental health and recovery. His appearances on the ITV series Harry’s Heroes brought national attention to his advocacy for mental wellbeing in sport, and his openness continues to encourage others to seek help and resilience in the face of adversity.

Audiences gain from Lee’s talks a powerful blend of honesty, humour, and hard-won perspective. His insights into performance, pressure, and personal growth resonate far beyond football, making him a compelling speaker for corporate teams, schools, and sports organisations alike.

Book Lee for an honest, transformative perspective that turns life's toughest challenges into powerful lessons for professional and personal growth.

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.
