Start with Questions: Helping leaders get it right, from the start.
How often do we find ourselves sitting in a meeting and thinking I’ve heard all this before or I don’t have time to go over this, again?
What if the ‘this’ is wrong…
With our diaries jammed and our brains overloaded it’s totally understandable that our instinct is to just ‘get on with it’.
In this keynote, Penny helps leaders understand ‘The Question Effect’ - How a single question will influence all subsequent moves. She asks delegates to consider what they’re missing by not being curious… enough.
Drawing from her 10 years of experience as a radio presenter, conducting more than 20,000 interviews, Penny helps delegates see why our curiosity has more earning potential than our time.

Be you, at work: Unlocking authentic leadership
Is there a ‘work you’ and a ‘home you’?
Fair enough! It can be hard to be the best and truest version of yourself as you jump from team meetings to customer service to strategic directions to cooking dinner!
Most of us, often unconsciously, follow what's been done before, stick to the status quo and imitate those around us without stopping to think if it aligns with who we are and what we value.
In this keynote Penny helps delegates untangle the difference between oversharing and authenticity, giving them the tool they need to be themselves, no matter where they are.
Delegates will learn how to pinpoint what makes them authentic and how to wear it on the outside, so they feel better on the inside.

Invisible to Influential: Fast-track your Path to Influence
Get ready for a road trip packed with laughs, insights, and plenty of "aha" moments. Invisible to Influential, takes delegates on a ride!
Penny picks them up frustrated and banging their heads up against a brick wall, wondering why 'no one is listening' then drops them home with a new understanding of how to make their mark.
With humour, empathy, and stories from her own path, Penny role-models what it takes to get people to turn up, tune in, and take home new ways of thinking.
Along the way, delegates learn practical tips and tricks to recognise when their efforts are falling flat and how to make sure every interaction counts.
They'll leave inspired, ready to ditch the frustration, and fully equipped to start making a real impact.
Panel Facilitation and MC

Panel Facilitation

She specialises in asking the sort of questions, that start the sorts of conversations, that make the sorts of change that’s needed!
After 10 years as a live radio presenter, she loves nothing more than supporting panellists to share relevant, relatable and reliable information that will keep their audience engaged.
She effortlessly guides each speaker to share the most interesting parts of who they are and what they know, so they leave the waffle and wasted words at home!

Master of Ceremonies
After 10 years as a radio presenter, Penny is highly attuned to the needs lives audiences: those in the room, those on the stage and those behind the scenes. She works closely and continuously with organisers to understand their dreams and then bring them to life.
She knows the role of an MC goes far beyond speaker introductions and is about managing energy, creating trust and fostering a safe space for connection and learning.
Penny is highly intuitive knowing when to lift and lower energy, when to pause and reflect, and has a wit that’s quick yet, in tune.
She’s fastidious about keeping things on track and on time (otherwise she’d crash the news)!
