Testimonials

Dr. Laura Penn is an incredibly engaging and thought-provoking speaker. She lifted our event with her compelling presence and important message, providing true value to everyone attending.

“Dr. Penn is a brilliant speaker, she is an absolute inspiration.  In a recent bespoke talk, Dr. Penn had the desired effect I was looking for, which was to wake up people from their day-to-day issues and pessimism in business communication and really start to think of things differently!

The genuine warmth, interest and care that Dr. Penn takes to create and deliver her work shines through the performance.  I really appreciate the time she took to understand our challenges and gave us not only just ‘pie-in-the-sky’ words about how to be authentic communicators, but actual, tangible actions of how we should create and deliver messages to our teams and colleagues…all backed-up with awe-inspiring examples of how to personally put them into practice and make things happen!

An absolutely fantastic and dynamic keynote speaker.”

“Words to describe this experience? “Empowered”, “Grateful”, “Amazed”, “A-Ha!”, “Professional”, and “Transformative”

“Outstanding energy from start to finish.  I was positively awakened by all of the lessons I learned and I am excited to use them all.”

“Dr. Penn gets you up to speed in no time, she gently pushes you out of your comfort zone and lets you experience break-throughs before you know it.  I was especially impressed by the very hands on toolbox she provides.  Fun, energizing and profound!”

“Words to describe the learning?  “Empowering”, “Transformational”, “Intense”, “Disruptive” and “Safe”

“Eye-opening and a lot to reflect on!  Dr. Penn’s keynote provided very useful tools that were a perfect package to take with you on the journey.  What I enjoyed the most was her energy and her confidence, which made me feel like “Yes! I can do it too!”

“This talk represents a new approach to improvement in business communication, but more importantly, it strengthened my sense of purpose and taught me how to have an impact.”

I feel more confident to push myself to new levels because I have learned the tools I need to do it. I plan to keep going as far as I can and thanks to Dr. Penn, I will make a difference in my world and keep rising.”
