Penny’s clients say:

“I made it a personal development goal this year to improve on my presentation style - as my inner voice was constantly hammering my confidence. I sought support from the amazing Penny Haslam whom I can’t rate highly enough - to help me overcome self-doubt and work on my style and delivery.”

Abigail Scott Paul, (formerly) Deputy Director, Joseph Rowntree Foundation

“I like to think I’m a pretty decent speaker now and I attribute my improvement to the work I've done with Penny. We looked at my performance, my scripts, humour, hand gestures, language, volume and structure. And every time I speak, I have her guidance in my head. Invaluable.”

Tom Cheesewright, Applied Futurist & Speaker
