Noelle Pikus-Pace
Biography

Noelle Pikus Pace is not your typical Olympian. She’s a silver medalist, 2x World Champion, and 26x World Cup medalist in the sport of skeleton, but her most defining moments weren’t just captured on the podium. They came through adversity. In 2005, after being ranked #1 in the world, she was struck by a runaway bobsled in a freak accident that shattered her leg and her Olympic dreams. Most would have walked away. Noelle came back the next season to become the first American woman to win the Skeleton World Championships, and she did it by the largest margin in history.

Her pursuit of the Olympics took more than just physical training; it required heart, sacrifice, and resilience. At the Vancouver Games, in 2010, she competed on a sled designed and built by her husband, finishing just shy of the podium. Then, in 2014, with her husband and two children by her side, Noelle returned one final time and won the Olympic silver medal. Her leap into the stands to celebrate with her family was named the USOC's “Moment of the Games,” and cemented her as a symbol of perseverance and purpose.

Outside of sport, Noelle is a best-selling author (Focused), an MBA, and the proud mother of four. She speaks to corporate audiences across industries—healthcare, sales, finance, education—helping teams and leaders turn setbacks into comebacks, and inspiring them to lead with focus, resilience, and intention. Her talks are raw, relatable, and packed with real-world strategies to help individuals and organizations rise above excuses and unlock their full potential.

Her current work includes keynote speaking, mindset coaching, and the upcoming release of her second book (No Excuses), a transformative message for companies and individuals seeking growth in a world that demands adaptability and grit. Through it all, Noelle leads with authenticity, never pretending to have it all figured out, but always showing what’s possible when you stay focused on what truly matters.

How do I book Noelle Pikus-Pace for my event?

Booking Noelle Pikus-Pace with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
