Three years ago Penny turned her life upside down. She left a sixteen year career as an executive, relocated a family from Perth back to Melbourne, left an 18 year relationship and started her own purpose driven company BKindred, all within six months. Crazy right?

She recently took it one step further and delivered a keynote in her bathing suit, in front of 100 professionals, to demonstrate the power of getting comfortable with discomfort in order to make happy change. The moment went viral, was accoladed by professionals globally and inspired the #nakedforchange movement.

She now uses these stories and over 20 years of change experience to empower individuals to weave more happiness into work and life.
