Penny Mallory

Penny Mallory is a former Rally Champion, and against the most unlikely odds, became the first and only woman in the world to drive a World Rally Car for Ford. Although her interest began with automotive performance, her passion quickly shifted to human performance, personal development and specifically Mental Toughness. Now, as a leading authority on Mental Toughness, Penny talks about how she developed her own mental toughness to beat incredible odds, make her childhood dream come true, and become a Rally Champion. What is Mental Toughness? It's Your ability to manage stress, pressure, chaos, and crisis. We all get stressed and anxious, but some of us manage it better than others. The better we manage the inevitable challenges we face, the more successful and enjoyable our lives will be. Underpinning the greatest teams, who innovate collaborate and strive for excellence, are the individuals who develop the four cornerstones of mental toughness. These people feel in control (of their life and emotions), see every challenge as an opportunity, are fully committed, and have a high sense of confidence in themselves and the people around them. In her keynote, Penny can weave in her own unusual (and entertaining) story, unpick the basics of mental toughness, and she could also add in some tasks for the audience to help them build their own mental toughness immediately.
