Penny reckons she'll get some complaints and counterexamples about this story. It's how she ended up going down the rabbit of a 'unique communication accents'. Yep, they're a thing. You have one, Penny has one, we all have one. Once we know our default we can choose to switch between them. So, what's yours?

More about me:

Hey, I’m Penny. I help brilliant people communicate in a way that properly matches their brilliance.

I work at the intersection of questions, stories, and influence, helping leaders, teams, and advocates engage in ways that lift the level of information sharing, cut through the noise, and make sure the right voices stand out.

We’ve all seen what happens when the loudest voices take up all the space. Instead, I want to make sure our feeds, meetings, interviews, and conversations are filled with people who actually know what they’re on about.

That’s what I do.

I help people and organisations:

• Ask better questions, so they get better answers
• Tell better stories, so their message sticks.
• Build better systems, so engagement is effortless.
• Use Frequency Thinking™️ to change their worlds!

Why?

• I spent 10+ years as an ABC radio presenter, interviewing thousands of people and shaping stories that matter.
• I host and produce multiple (award winning!) podcasts, making complex issues interesting and accessible.
• I’m a keynote speaker, trainer & executive mentoring, helping leaders and teams sharpen their message and delivery.
• Plus, I’m the co-founder of Healthy Tasmania (that I started with my awesome sister and business partner Lucy Byrne), designing community-led engagement strategies that create real change.

Who I Work With:

• Leaders & teams who want to communicate with more confidence, clarity, and influence.
• Podcasters, speakers & media guests who want to show up sharp, engaging, and on message.
• Advocates & change-makers who need their message to cut through and create real impact.

Whether it’s a stage, a mic, or a boardroom, I make sure you show up in a way that makes people lean in, not tune out.
