Former World Rally Driver for Ford Rally Team, National Ladies Champion, TV Presenter on ITV Used Car Roadshow & Channel 4 Driven, Mental Toughness Keynote Speaker
Penny Mallory is a keynote speaker specialising in mental toughness and motivation. She is also a familiar face from television motoring programmes, having been a regular presenter on ITV’s Used Car Roadshow alongside Jason Dawe, as well as a former presenter of Channel 4’s Driven. At its peak, Driven famously knocked Top Gear off the top of the ratings, which was considered almost unheard of at the time.
In the world of motorsport, Penny made history as the first woman to compete in a World Rally Car for the Ford Rally Team. In 1993, she became the National Ladies Champion, and she remains the first and only woman in the world to have achieved this milestone.
Today, Penny is recognised as one of the UK’s leading authorities on mental toughness. She teaches her mental toughness formula to help people develop confidence, resilience, commitment, determination and focus, enabling individuals and organisations to build powerful, successful teams and strong performance cultures.
Her keynote topics include Why the Mentally Tough Thrive, Creating Exceptional Confidence, World Class Thinking, Increasing Resilience for Powerful Results, Enlightened Leadership, and Moving from Ambition to Achievement. Penny’s keynote speeches are designed to drive action. Alongside sharing her inspirational life story, she challenges audiences to commit to a number of tasks, some more comfortable than others, that help build mental toughness immediately. This allows people to cope better with pressure and stress, meet demanding targets and deadlines, and contribute to more productive, successful and positive teams.
Penny’s book, 365 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness: A Day-by-day Guide to Living a Happier and More Successful Life, was published in 2022. She is also the author of World Class Thinking, World Class Behaviour and Take Control of Your Life.
As well as being a keynote speaker, Penny is an accomplished presenter, host and performance coach, making her an excellent choice for conferences, corporate events and awards evenings where a strong, inspiring message is needed.
