  • “Penny is the interview whisperer - I hear her voice in my mind before, during, and after media interviews. Because of her vast experience in media, I’ve moved from confused to confident and memorable. She taught me the importance of understanding the host, producer, and audience's needs – and the essence of a media story – short, relevant, and emotional. Penny explained how to create, build and sustain a relationship with the host and media outlet beyond the initial interview. As a result, I’m exporting to Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, from my home in Australia.”

    Oscar Trimboli, Deep Listening Expert, Keynote Speaker, Award Winning Podcaster
