Penny Mallory

As a leading authority on Mental Toughness, Penny helps people to manage the stress, pressure, heavy workloads and relentless deadlines they face.

Drawing from her extraordinary experiences, Penny now shares her Mental Toughness formula to help organisations and individuals to cultivate confidence, resilience, commitment, determination, and focus.

Mental Toughness is a personality trait, that can everyone can develop. With Mental Toughness you have increased resilience, confidence, focus, determination and commitment. This enables you to manage stress
and pressure, take challenges in your stride, and quickly bounce back from setbacks.

In today’s ever more competitive environment where only the best will do, Penny Mallory has perfected the art of Psychologically Powered Performance to bring out the very best in people. No secret sauce or overused buzzwords, for championship teams (including F1) to top organisations, from individuals and workshops to international audiences, her engagingly authentic but wildly entertaining vision of optimised performance and positive change sets her apart.

Penny defied the odds by achieving her childhood ambition of becoming a Champion Rally Driver. She surpassed that dream by becoming the first woman to compete in a World Rally Car for Ford in the prestigious World Rally Championship. Remarkably, she remains the only woman to accomplish this.

Her journey is even more remarkable given her tumultuous past as a teenage runaway, enduring 3 years of homelessness in London. Penny attributes her success to her Mental Toughness.

As a child she saw alcoholism and mental illness destroy her family. Fleeing home at 14, homeless and fending for herself on the London streets, her life couldn’t have been more dangerous or bleak, yet an inner strength and self-belief enabled her to take control of her future. She made impossible possible and has since dedicated her life to helping others do the same.

It is these experiences that have made her keynotes acclaimed international favourites for many of the world’s most powerful and storied brands, including Microsoft, Google Cloud, Santander, Coca-Cola, NatWest, Waitrose, Tesco, Telefonica, RoadChef, Sony, CitiBank, HPI, Jaguar, Proctor & Gamble, Airbus and many more.

Her life is a continuing series of doing what conventional thinking says she simply can’t – from Rally Driving at the highest level, competing in multiple marathons, enter the boxing ring twice, conquering two of the world’s highest mountains…and now she is preparing to row the Atlantic Ocean.

Little wonder that her interactive keynotes inspire taking action, and to believe you can - because you can.

Penny is a TEDX speaker, author of ‘365 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness’, ’World Class Thinking, World Class Behaviour’ and ‘Take Control of Your Life’.

If you’re looking for a speaker that will ignite enthusiasm, inspire change, deepen commitment and determination, you may have found the right speaker for your event.

Penny shows that the top performers don't possess any magic formulas or gifts that you can’t possess. They simply employ a few World Class basics.
World Class Thinking and World Class Behaviour starts with your mindset.

With the right attitude, approach and mindset you will optimise your commitment, talent, creativity, opportunity and results.

• Accelerate skill through deliberate practice
• Why you must get comfortable feeling uncomfortable
• How Rally Drivers have nailed effective communication

Unleashing The Psychology of Success
By learning how to develop winning habits and a winning mindset you’ll think – and perform – like a champion.

Avoiding the Balanced Mediocrity Trap
Extraordinary results require our time and energy focused on what matters most, to make the impossible possible.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
What makes us uncomfortable can summon our best, building confidence and self-esteem.

Maximised Reward Requires Managing Risk
Champions learn to open their minds to possibilities, managing risk and leveraging it to their advantage. There is no loss; you’ll succeed or learn from it, and both are big wins!

Marginal Change Powers Amazing Results
Seemingly marginal improvements may seem like baby steps, but at the elite level, these thoughtful but modest changes are the fine-tuning that transforms your performance for the better.

The Genesis of World Class Teams
At the heart of every great team is a leader with the vision and skills that see beyond Me to We. They‘ve learned how to inspire team mates to believe in themselves, put the team first and aspire to excellence.

Accelerate Through Change to Victory
Don’t fear change, embrace it, accelerate through it. Doing that makes impossible, possible.

It’s Time to Put Self-Limitations Behind
Redefine your potential with an all new resolve to harness your full potential and unleash what’s no longer trapped inside and is no longer holding you back.

Believe in Non-Stop Innovation
Instead of settling, find the courage to demand more and create a culture of innovation that doesn’t look for the future in the rear-view mirror.
