Bio
Lynsey Pace
Penny is a fantastic executive coach with a unique ability to read people's personalities and how they can affect team dynamics and outcomes of a business. She is highly commercial and gets results even after spending only 5 minutes with someone! She's passionate, understanding as well as being a finisher - she does not allow the detail to cloud what needs to be completed. Working with Penny is a huge learning experience, yet she doesn't make you feel like you're learning. You find a unique ability to reflect on her words after the discussion. I highly recommend welcoming Penny in your business as an executive coach / management consultant.
Chris Wood
Penny is a highly motivated and extremely effective/professional operator - she gets results because she is passionate about all that she gets involved in. I have worked with Penny on a number of business projects, both whilst colleagues at Autotrader and subsequently and have always found her the most commercial of senior commercial managers, with a keen and enquiring entrepreneurial approach, happy to break new ground, but still ensuring that what is proposed is deliverable. Penny is a finisher with a keen eye for and attention to detail, documenting what is agreed and ensuring that there is a clear set of measures for the projects success and smooth integration. Penny is also a first-rate people manager – borne out of a commitment to individuals and a desire to treat people fairly and to get the best from them - often far beyond their own expectations or realisation of their capability.
