Book Penny for your event

Help your leaders and teams stay focused under pressure, make better decisions and perform when it matters most. Former World Rally Championship Driver, trusted by organisations to deliver high impact keynotes that change behaviour

Pressure Is Rising. Resilience Is Falling

A Forbes survey found 46% of leaders admit they lack resilience.
Only 25% lead highly resilient organisations.

Deadlines are tighter. Expectations are higher. Change is constant.

Most teams are busy.
Few are mentally equipped.

That’s the difference.

I Don’t Just Talk About Mental Toughness

I’ve Lived It.

From a homeless teenager to competing at the highest level in Rally Driving. From Television Presenter to extreme endurance athlete.
Currently training to row the Atlantic in December 2026.

My life has demanded resilience. Your teams need it.

As an accredited Mental Toughness practitioner, with AQR International, I combine lived experience with proven psychological frameworks including the 4Cs:

• Control
• Commitment
• Challenge
• Confidence

This is practical. Applicable. Immediately usable.

WHAT AUDIENCES WALK AWAY WITH

After this keynote, your people will:

• Have more control of their emotions under pressure
• Stop avoiding challenge and start embracing it
• Deliver on commitments when it counts
• Build real confidence, not fragile ego
• Strengthen team trust and accountability
• Perform consistently, not occasionally

And most importantly, they will be compelled to take action immediately.

No inspiration hangover. Real behavioural change.

Thank you doesn't go far enough! You were completely captivating from start to finish, and the team have not stopped talking about the things they took from your session. Absolutely awesome!

Penny very rarely are our community speechless but from the moment you shared your amazing story & the life lessons that you now share/ teach you could literally hear a pin drop as they listened to your every word. Your over riding message is super clear & one that i know the entire audience of 500 will take away with. You can achieve what ever you set your mind to & whenever your mind/body might think it's time to give in there is always one more step, rep or breath you can take Thank you for inspiring us.

Your session at the meeting was incredibly powerful – you had the entire team captivated. There was not a sound from any of them such was their focus on your words and message. I’m sure you saw the power of your story and the impact it had on the team; there were more than one with tears in their eyes.

Lessons In Resilience
From a life that demanded it

Instability. Adversity. Setbacks.

My early life pushed me to the edge.

But resilience, discipline and an unshakeable commitment to succeed transformed everything.

High performance is not about talent.
It’s about mindset and attitude when things get uncomfortable.

This Is Not Motivation

This Is Mental Toughness.

I challenge audiences. I stretch them.
I give them tools they can use the same day.

Because resilience is not a personality trait.

It’s a skill. And skills can be trained.
