Artificial intelligence and the tough human touch.
Your Mental Toughness is your ability to persevere, maintain focus and determination in the face of challenges, setbacks, and disruption. While AI doesn’t possess emotions or consciousness in the way humans do, both AI and Mentally Tough people are masters of adaptability. Just as AI algorithms can adjust to new data and scenarios, Mentally Tough individuals can roll with the punches and adapt to whatever life throws at them.
Mental Toughness plays a crucial role in working with AI, by fostering resilience, adaptability, pressure handling, dealing with uncertainty and persistence, all of which are essential for success in today’s dynamic and challenging landscape.
Developing resilience, focus, confidence and determination will transform performance so people are better able to manage the stress, pressure, heavy work loads, ambitious deadlines and relentless setbacks we all inevitably face.
Penny Mallory delivers an entertaining, interactive, challenging and transformational insight into how and why you can’t afford to ignore the importance of developing Mental Toughness when dealing with AI. She will tell her own story of how she built her Mental Toughness, Penny will show how we can all develop our Mental Toughness and will challenge the delegates to complete tasks that will immediately transform their mindset, attitude and approach.

What will the audience learn?
Our worlds have been turned upside down. Corporate strategies are being re-thought and re-designed, from productivity, to suppliers, to customers through to the most valuable asset you have – your people. The wellbeing and safety of your employees is a top priority. Developing their Mental Toughness is now critical to their productivity, and to the survival of your organisation.
Your people’s confidence, control, focus, resilience and commitment is what will help get your organisation through this challenging time. Finding solutions and ways out of chaos and crisis, seeing opportunities rather than threats and ensuring people don’t crumble under pressure is vital.

"On behalf of the Cloud Family Technical Community team, I wanted to say a big thank you to Penny for her time, commitment and generosity whilst working with us on our Festive Tech Calendar initiative in December 2020. Penny’s content was great for the technical developer community to acquire and learn strong soft skills in the area of confidence and Mental Toughness - especially during our current climate. The bitesize content was easy to consume and the storytelling made you want to explore the full series of assets. We contacted Penny and her team on a whim, after seeing an amazing session delivered by Penny. I felt others could definitely learn from her story. To my surprise an almost instant email back, since then working with Penny and her team has been a brilliant experience, responsive, helpful and friendly."

"I was spellbound by Penny’s keynote at the DFS FRS yesterday and it’s really given me the boost I needed to refocus on a couple of goals I’ve set myself. Committing 100% – so obvious! I now have that on a sticky note taped to my monitor. And changing your attitude can change your life…. Anyway I just wanted to say a big thank you from me for making an immediate difference to my attitude.. I know your session got a fantastic score and I look forward to following you"
"Penny was amazing and her keynote was really well received by our audience – everyone’s feedback has been so positive – we were very impressed! Thank you for introducing us"
“We had Penny as the guest speaker at our conference this year and we found her very personable with a fascinating story to tell. It was engaging, entertaining and thought provoking. The session was interactive and an excellent insight into elite performance. Her dedication and endless energy were proven afterwards when she drove from North Wales back to London that same night to be ready for a meeting the following day! A thoroughly enjoyable speaker”
What is the message you hope people take away from your presentations?
My aim is simply to challenge people’s thinking and approach. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut – and sometimes a reminder of what we can do better or differently, is really useful. I want to leave people thinking and feeling optimistic and excited about doing things better, trying something new or following the dream they had parked up in their mind. I believe that operating in a ‘World Class’ way is a choice – it’s not for ‘special’ people – and I demonstrate why that is so.
How are your keynotes unique?
I think my story is unusual and is also very visual which helps to engage an audience, whether they are interested in cars or not (most of us drive after all). Grabbing attention and holding their interest is critical if you want your messages to have an impact.
How do you make a connection between your experiences in sport and your workshops/ presentations?
The parallels between sport (and in my case motorsport) and life/business are easy to illustrate – we all have a direction, a speed or pace at which we operate, we all have critical decisions to make, and we all need to communicate clearly if we are to get what we want. These qualities are all vitally important if you desire success in motorsport, so using the analogies of driving brings a presentation to life with real energy.
Who or what inspires you most?
Strangely the most inspiring people I have ever met are not famous or well known – they are the quiet ones getting on and doing amazing things away from any publicity. The ones who change lives and dedicate so much time and effort to helping others.
Can you explain what your ‘Take Control’ workshop is all about?
Most people prefer to feel that they’re in control of their lives and where they are heading. The Take Control workshop offers ‘9 Special Stages’ to the audience – a kind of route map to getting what you want. It challenges and provokes the audience to think again – think differently – and accept that they are capable of achieving so much more.
If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
I have had a really long think about this, and I am quite happy where I am…at home in a beautiful part of England, with my children and some friends, about to eat some great food. I can’t really imagine why I would want to be anywhere else…except maybe on safari in Africa!
