As the pace of work increases, decisions arrive faster than there’s time to think them through. Responsibility expands, while room to pause becomes harder to find.
What leaders long for in this moment is space, space to think clearly, space to weigh trade-offs, and space to make decisions they can stand behind over time.
This work supports leaders and organisations at the exact point, strengthening leadership judgement and decision quality where it matters most.
Leaders rarely come looking for less work. They come looking for clarity.
This work supports leaders to slow the decisions that matter without losing momentum, reduce reactive calls made under constant urgency, and navigate trade-offs with greater confidence.
In practice, it helps leaders recognise when pace is narrowing judgement, create space for discernment where it matters most, and make decisions that hold people, performance, and responsibility in view.
The emphasis stays practical and grounded, designed for real operating conditions rather than ideal ones.
Many organisations experience the challenge as being busy, fuller calendars, faster decisions, constant urgency. What sits underneath is more consequential: leaders are being asked to make complex decisions more quickly, with less space to think clearly or hold trade-offs well.
My work focuses on leadership programming that strengthens judgement and decision quality over time. Rather than one-off moments, this work shifts how decisions are prioritised, paced, and supported in operating environments.
Programs are developed in partnership and may include facilitated workshops, leadership programs, and keynote sessions as part of a broader capability journey.
For leaders wanting structured space to advance their leadership skill through deeper clarity, connection and confidence.
The Purpose Project is a guided program that supports leaders to use purpose as a compass for decision-making, particularly during moments of transition, complexity, or sustained pressure.
This work creates space to think clearly about what matters, how decisions are being made, and how to move forward with greater alignment and impact.
This work is intentionally selective. It’s designed for senior leaders whose decisions carry human, ethical, and commercial weight and who often hold that responsibility alone.
Leaders come to this work when pace leaves little room to think out loud, when decisions stack up, and when the cost of getting it wrong feels personal as well as professional.
Through this work, leaders create the space to think clearly, courageously act with intention, and make impactful decisions they can stand behind.

“It was a leap of faith and one that has paid off. I'm fully owning this new identity, I've finally done it, that’s my biggest experiment. If you're considering coaching with Penny, you've just got to do it. You’ll make a real, sustainable change, not just revert back to old ways of doing things.”
Fiona
“I feel lighter, happier and connected to my truth. Penny took me outside of my square. Helped me realise I was not alone and I was giving away all of my power. This made it OK to prioritise me and what I wanted. It lessoned the impact that the actions and words of others had on me.”
Mady
“I’m much more aware of the opportunities around me and the direction I want to go in, every single aspect of my life has changed. For so long I saw myself as someone who didn’t deserve things, I didn’t speak up at work. Now I see myself as an asset, I believe in myself and ask for what I want.”
Tam
"I've always wanted to change the world for the better but never really had a clear sense of what that could look like. Just as I was starting to think it was too late in my life to really do something meaningful, Impact Makers came along and helped me to ask the right questions of myself to understand what kind of change I really want to see and how to be one of the women who makes it happen. It's not comfortable doing this kind of work, but Penny handpicked an amazingly supportive group of likeminded women as fellow travellers on the journey to making an impact."
Heather
"When I joined Impact Makers, everything I thought was a 12-month plan flipped on its head. Instead of waiting, I replaced myself in one business and committed fully to my advisory. It turned my stability upside down, but in the best way possible.
I’d been searching for more than three years for the right place to fit. Other masterminds felt too safe, too surface level. What made the difference here was Penny as a facilitator and the group of women she brought together.
The biggest shift for me has been clarity of language. Creating my impact statement, even in its imperfect form, has been life-changing. It gives me purpose I can measure, a way to anchor myself, and a foundation to leverage from when things feel uncertain."
