The Way We're Working Is Not Working...

Teams are lacking collaboration, creativity, and accountability.  People are exhausted, underperforming, or burnt out.
People are resisting change.

The problem is not the level of complexity, the rate of change, or uncertainty.
The problem is where we place our focus.

A Reset Mindset:
Focus on What Matters

Step Back

Get Perspective

Realign

No matter the challenge—whether it’s product innovation, a tough negotiation, creating buy-in with diverse teams, or even parenting at home—this simple, yet profound three-step Reset Practice is a game changer. And when repeated, these steps become a way of thinking, a mindset.

This mindset empowers you to break out of default thinking, to gain clarity, manage expectations, open possibilities, uncover blindspots and thrive under pressure regardless of the situation or circumstance.

All of Penny’s sessions integrate the framework because this powerful mental model applies across contexts, enabling clear thinking and purposeful action in every area of your life.

Hi, I am Penny

I’ve been in the trenches. For 20+ years, I’ve built and sold businesses, turned around companies in crisis, and coached leaders through chaos. I know the pressure. I know the burnout and almost lost everything as a result. 

I know firsthand that focus and adaptability can make or break an organization. 

 In today’s environment, success isn’t just about having the right tools or tactics—it’s about the ability to create meaningful connections and to focus on the most valuable activities. At the center is our ability to reset, refocus, and realign in real time.

That’s why I created the Reset Mindset Framework. 

I designed it to help organizations tackle the biggest challenges of our time—burnout, distraction, disconnection, and change—through high-impact, customizable keynotes and training rooted in behavioral science and real-world results.

I am proud to have impacted millions of people as globally recognized motivational speaker,  bestselling author, globally recognized productivity expert, and host of a top-ranked podcast and a popular TEDx talk.  I bring a powerful mix of behavioral science, business acumen, and real-world insight to every keynote.

Whether you’re launching a new product, aligning your team for a high-stakes quarter, or kicking off your annual sales meeting, I will partner with you to create a customized keynote experience built around your team’s specific goals.

I challenge teams to rethink their habits, reframe obstacles, and reset their approach to what matters most—creating value, building trust, and leading with confidence no matter the circumstances.
 How?

One Reset Moment at a time.

The Reset Mindset is the Next Generation of the Growth Mindset

The future of work is about ADAPTABILITY.
 Help your people work smarter, lead stronger, and reset when it matters most.

Transformation at Every Level

Teams & Individuals

Maximize every client and team interaction to build deeper trust, accelerate decision-making, close more deals, and drive long-term loyalty and collaboration.

Leaders

Stop spinning in urgent demands, refocus on high-impact actions, and help teams to navigate missed targets,  performance plateaus, tough clients, and internal bottlenecks.

Organizations

Institutionalize more Resets to see improvements in conversion rates, client loyalty, and overall sales velocity—positioning them to close more deals faster in a competitive market.
