Penny Power is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“Penny recently delivered a phenomenal closing keynote speech at our recent Paraplanner Conference to a diverse audience pitching to the theme of the conference accordingly. In the session, Penny discussed the critical importance of connection, compassionate and human-centric practice in an era increasingly dominated by screens and virtual interactions by providing engaging and thought-provoking talk with good humour, leaving attendees inspired and curious”
“I only have positive feedback all round for Penny – she was fantastic. Very engaging with the audience, professional and approachable. She was great to deal with personally, and with other team members organising the event. Also, she adapted so well to the last minute changes that we had for the event such as the recordings and the agenda switch. Please pass on my thanks to Penny, she was a pleasure to work with.”
“Penny delivered a powerful discussion to the Madison Logic team on the topic of taking control of your life in business. Penny was able to share real life experiences that shaped her and her perspective, which is very helpful and resonates well for those on the receiving end of the discussion. As Penny shares practical activities to implement in your daily routine, participants are sure to leave the discussion with beneficial information. Her lively personality coupled with her positive outlook on life and business is truly admirable”
“Penny is confident, enthusiastic, optimistic and full of interesting life experiences who gave us great insight in looking at self-actualisation and career progression within our diverse group at Aristocrat. We would definitely recommend and need another reason to bring her back!”
“After seeing Penny Power OBE speak on two different occasions, and both times feeling hugely inspired, I invited Penny to be one of the keynote speakers at a 3-day entrepreneurial conference I organised. Penny’s contribution to the entrepreneurial world is commendable and her experience is vast. There is no wonder she is a holder of a prestigious OBE title. Better still, she combines this with absolute honesty, open heart and at times ‘powerful vulnerability’, as I call it. As such, Penny leaves her audience deeply inspired and with a treasure trove of useful ideas for their business and life. Penny is a true gift to us- and I warmly recommend her to every event organiser who wants to bring the calibre of speakers to the next level, and make a long-lasting impact for their audiences”
“Thank you for being our guest speaker today! Your personal experience and wise words helped magnify our efforts to improve and evolve gender equality within our workplace. You truly invigorated our team to continue the conversation around this important topic and I look forward to our next session!”
“I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Penny for her wonderful keynote speech and great facilitating at our Digital Marketing Conference 2022 at the Leicester Marriot Hotel. The event ran smoothly and professionally with her help and support and the conference was a success. The feedback was excellent. Please could you kindly pass on my email thanking her”
