Meet Penny

Playfully inspiring, guiding and empowering you to live your life your own unique way!

IMG_1283.jpg

Hey! We met on the homepage, so hello again. If you've made it this far, I guess you want to know more!

​

For 3 decades, I've been supporting, inspiring, leading, teaching, empowering, and sharing my passion freely. I've chosen to make it my profession as a coach, to turn an act of serving that fills my heart and soul into a business that supports me, all of me.

​

I choose to share those 3 decades of knowledge and skills obtained from study, exceptional mentors, teachers, and educators, along with some challenging life experiences, with clients who are ready to take their lives to the next level.

Who am I?

I am Penny. Producer, Production Manager, strategist, Pilates teacher, coach, creative, movement lover, and someone who believes work and life can feel good, not just tolerated. 

​

My background spans TV, film, events, project management, education, leadership, psychology, body work and more. I help people and businesses navigate complexity, communicate clearly, and build systems and strategies that let them operate with more clarity, freedom and impact.

​

Unexpected Adventures and Professional Depth

Over the years I have had the privilege of working around the world across film, television, large scale events and international sport, collaborating with some of the most talented creative and production teams across multiple countries. I have worked with people such as Paul Rudd, Chris Hemsworth, Nicole Kidman, Arianna Grande, Baz Luhrmann, Oprah and Cody Simpson. Highlights include Sydney New Year’s Eve, the Commonwealth Games, New Zealand Winter Games, Asian Games, and Swimming World Cups and Championships, among many other projects at the same scale. These are examples rather than a complete list.

​

I have led teams, built processes, solved operational problems and delivered on tight deadlines in high pressure environments.

​

These experiences taught me how to combine creative vision with practical strategy, a rare mix that shapes how I consult, advise and lead today.

​

From Challenges to Growth

I have walked through burnout, grief and setbacks, and I have had to rebuild myself more than once. Those experiences gave me a deeper understanding of resilience and how growth really happens. They shaped my belief that when we repair what is underneath, we build stronger foundations for sustainable businesses, meaningful work and lives that feel like our own.

​

A Spirit of Play and Possibility

I love to play. For me, play is about curiosity, creativity and the freedom to explore new ways of thinking and working. It is not about escaping the serious parts of life but finding balance within them. It keeps us alive, adaptable and open to possibility.

 

I bring that same spirit into leadership, strategy and business. I help clients create systems and teams that can evolve, operations that support growth, and goals that leave room to breathe.

​

The Human Behind the Work

Laughter keeps me grounded. I may be terrible at telling jokes, but a bit of silliness and childlike freedom always lifts the mood.

 

Animals are another great teacher. I love their honesty, their ability to respond instinctively, and the reminder that sometimes connection happens easily and sometimes it simply does not, and that is perfectly fine.

 

Teaching is something I value deeply. Everyone I work with teaches me something new, and I share the knowledge and experience I have gathered along the way.

 

I am passionate about sustainability and conscious choices, but I also believe in enjoying the process. Life is too short to be a purist about everything, except maybe chocolate.

 

Adventure calls to me, whether it is sailing, ocean swimming, mountain biking, snowboarding, snorkelling or picking up something completely new. Play shows up in my life in many forms, from a quality water fight to backyard cricket or a cannon ball into the pool.

 

Finding joy in the small moments and in the things I do each day matters to me.

That same curiosity, play and practicality influence how I work with clients. Whether through coaching or consulting, I focus on what is real, useful and sustainable.

 

I value straight talk and honest communication. If you are looking for someone who will sugarcoat things or tell you what you want to hear, I am probably not your gal. But if you are ready for real conversations, new perspectives and a good laugh along the way, let us connect.

​
