Popular Talks by Penny Haslam

Make Yourself a Little Bit Famous

Unless you want to be a best-kept secret, the importance of getting exposure for what you do cannot be understated. Penny provokes thinking and urges action by showing audiences how to power up their personal brand profile and communicate with impact, so they can enjoy greater influence and engagement among the people that matter to them – colleagues, clients, candidates, suppliers, stakeholders, the wider sector and even policy makers. This upbeat and entertaining session is for those who want to progress their career, develop their leadership role, raise brand awareness, build relationships and networks.

Make Yourself a Little More Confident

Penny had fulfilled her lifelong ambition of becoming a live TV presenter, but she had a problem that no-one else could see – imposter syndrome and a lack of self-assuredness, that regularly threatened to take her under. Penny has now distilled her experience into three steps that helps audience members build their confidence – so they can navigate the future, ride out uncertainty and set a course for personal and organisational success. Her talk is hugely entertaining, memorable and full of practical guidance for anyone who would like a little more confidence.
