Keynote speaker Penny Mallory has found herself in competitive environments several times throughout her life. Today, she shares her secrets to thriving in a competitive world. Penny’s keynotes are interactive, thought provoking and entertaining. Most importantly, they compel people to take action and embrace change immediately.
Penny understands how our thinking affects our behaviour in our personal and professional lives. She is an expert at Penny has never let negativity or her gender get in the way. Despite being told she was the ‘wrong sex’ and ‘too old’ to rally she became National Ladies Champion. Her unique and inspirational story shows there is no limit to what you can achieve with determination, focus and commitment.
Penny quickly found that the qualities needed to succeed in sports aren’t much different than the qualities needed to succeed in business, and her keynotes offer tools, strategies and unique insights that can change your organisation. Penny has been a public speaker for over 20 years and always works closely with her client to ensure a relevant and beneficial presentation for everyone in the audience.
See keynotes with Penny MalloryOur worlds have been turned upside down. Corporate strategies are being re-thought and re-designed, from productivity, to suppliers, to customers through to the most valuable asset you have – your people. The wellbeing and safety of your employees is a top priority. Developing their Mental Toughness is now critical to their productivity, and to the survival of your organisation.
Your people’s confidence, control, focus, resilience and commitment is what will help get your organisation through this challenging time. Finding solutions and ways out of chaos and crisis, seeing opportunities rather than threats and ensuring people don’t crumble under pressure is vital.
Audience takeaways:
What is the message you hope people take away from your presentations?
My aim is simply to challenge people’s thinking and approach. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut – and sometimes a reminder of what we can do better or differently, is really useful. I want to leave people thinking and feeling optimistic and excited about doing things better, trying something new or following the dream they had parked up in their mind. I believe that operating in a ‘World Class’ way is a choice – it’s not for ‘special’ people – and I demonstrate why that is so.
How are your keynotes unique?
I think my story is unusual and is also very visual which helps to engage an audience, whether they are interested in cars or not (most of us drive after all). Grabbing attention and holding their interest is critical if you want your messages to have an impact.
How do you make a connection between your experiences in sport and your workshops/ presentations?
The parallels between sport (and in my case motorsport) and life/business are easy to illustrate – we all have a direction, a speed or pace at which we operate, we all have critical decisions to make, and we all need to communicate clearly if we are to get what we want. These qualities are all vitally important if you desire success in motorsport, so using the analogies of driving brings a presentation to life with real energy.
Who or what inspires you most?
Strangely the most inspiring people I have ever met are not famous or well known – they are the quiet ones getting on and doing amazing things away from any publicity. The ones who change lives and dedicate so much time and effort to helping others.
Can you explain what your ‘Take Control’ workshop is all about?
Most people prefer to feel that they’re in control of their lives and where they are heading. The Take Control workshop offers ‘9 Special Stages’ to the audience – a kind of route map to getting what you want. It challenges and provokes the audience to think again – think differently – and accept that they are capable of achieving so much more.
If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
I have had a really long think about this, and I am quite happy where I am…at home in a beautiful part of England, with my children and some friends, about to eat some great food. I can’t really imagine why I would want to be anywhere else…except maybe on safari in Africa!
