Keynote Topics

  • Make It Make Sense: How to shape stories that show your value

    You can’t expect people to live your values if they don’t understand them. You can’t expect your strategy to stick if your stories don’t match. This keynote helps leaders and teams close the gap between what they do and what people hear.

    It’s part wake-up call, part mirror, and part storytelling masterclass. With real-life examples from boardrooms to back paddocks. Penny brings humour, honesty, and just enough discomfort to help people reflect on what they’re really saying and why it matters. And because no room is the same, no session is the same either. She’ll wander into the crowd, ask the hard questions, and follow the signals your team sends back.

    Delegates walk away with practical tools to:

    Shape stories that reflect strategy and culture

    Align what’s said with what’s meant

    Use empathy to shift perspective and language

    Share the value they deliver every day but rarely talk about

    Find pride, purpose and clarity in the process

    It’s real, it’s human, and it’s fun.

    People won’t just learn. They’ll lean in.

  • Say It Like You Mean It: Speaking up without burning out or selling out

    This keynote is for people who are good at what they do, but don’t always sound like it. Penny helps delegates bridge the gap between their expertise and their expression, so they can share what matters without waffling, over-prepping or disappearing into jargon.

    She’ll make them laugh, think differently, and try things they didn’t expect from live message-mapping to on-the-spot story shaping. The Golden Toast Framework, real talkback stories, and live audience prompts all come out to play. It’s unscripted, unexpected, and unforgettable.

    Delegates will walk away knowing how to:

    Speak clearly under pressure and still sound like themselves

    Be a better guest on panels, podcasts and in the media

    Host conversations that people remember (for good reasons)

    Show up as the version of themselves they actually like

    Communicate with more ease, intention, and influence

    It’s not about being polished. It’s about being real and ready.

    Because influence doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from presence.

  • Tune the Room: How to lead with presence, not volume

    Some people take over the room. Others tune it. This keynote introduces Penny’s Frequency Thinking™️ framework, teaching delegates how to read the moment, match the energy, and shift what happens next.

    This session isn’t delivered to an audience. It’s delivered with them. Penny moves through the space, listens out loud, and brings the audience’s own energy into the conversation. There are stories, strategy shifts, and moments where the room leans forward and stays there.

    Delegates will walk away knowing how to:

    Create the conditions for change without forcing it

    Shift resistance with language, presence and precision

    Communicate complex or uncomfortable ideas with clarity and calm

    Lead with energy that others want to follow

    Turn everyday communication into cultural momentum

    Big ideas. Deep resonance. Unexpected fun.

    It’s the keynote people talk about long after the lights come up.
