As a sought-after Motivational Speaker, Penny shares the ups and downs of her story, inspiring audiences to achieve greater things for themselves. Despite being told she was the ‘wrong sex’ and ‘too old’, she became a Rally Champion. Her unique and inspirational story shows there is no limit to what you can achieve with will determination, focus and commitment.
The story started when Penny was just fourteen. Leaving home and never to return, she found herself in London, seeking a better life, but spent nearly 2 years in homeless hostels. As Penny’s life was by now completely out of control, she realised that she alone could take control of her life, and in time worked her way to becoming a sound engineer and a graphic artist. A chance event allowed her to realise a
childhood dream of driving a rally car and she was hooked.
Despite being nearly 16 stone at one point in her life, Penny now takes her physical fitness very seriously and is currently training for her first Triathlon. She is also a marathon runner, cyclist, boxer, polo player and mountaineer – and completed a successful ascent in 2008 of the tough North face of Europe’s highest mountain, Mount Elbrus. In order to practice what she preaches, every year Penny
pushes herself to achieve something she never thought she could.
Her self-development book ‘Take Control of Your Life’ has received outstanding reviews, including one from Brian Ashton MBE (England’s Rugby Head Coach), and reached the #2 ranking in two Amazon categories.
Penny holds Diplomas in Sports Psychology, Counselling, NLP, Life Coaching and practices as a Performance Coach. She holds a PTLLS Level 3 qualification in Life Long Learning.
