That’s exactly why booking Penny Mallory, the UK’s leading authority on Mental Toughness, is one of the smartest decisions you can make for your people, your organisation, and your event.

When you book Penny Mallory, you’re not just getting a talk - you’re bringing in someone who has helped transform the mental toughness of thousands of leaders, teams and organisations.

The Biggest Speaker Bureaus Book Her for a Reason

They trust her because she delivers a 10/10 performance every single time. She’s reliable, professional, and entirely focused on the success of the event. For bureaus, she’s a safe pair of hands. For clients, she’s a game‑changer.

LinkedIn Feedback That Speaks for Itself

Mental Toughness That Comes From Real Experience, Not Theory

What sets Penny apart from other speakers on Mental Toughness is that she has lived it.

She didn’t read about resilience in a book or learn about performance under pressure from the sidelines. She’s a former rally driver who competed in one of the world’s most demanding and high‑risk sports. She has rebuilt her life from adversity more than once. She understands human fragility - but she also understands human potential.

This credibility gives her message incredible power. When Penny speaks about courage, focus, discipline and mental toughness, people listen - because they know she’s lived every word.
