Description

Entrepreneurs and executives seek the business coaching, training and keynotes of Penny Zenker for her strategic thinking and ability to transfer these skills to others. Penny is one of the very few business and entrepreneurial coaches that merges her own high level success with extraordinary coaching skills to offer motivated individuals an exceptional resource. 
Playing Small Moment
Penny undervalued herself after selling her IT company. She was working too many hours, so she decided to work for another Tech Company. After getting hired, she realized they wanted her to become the CEO of the company. Penny was dripping with fear and felt like she was over her head. She ended up staying with her job for longer than anticipated because her boss, who became her mentor, explained what his real expectations were.
The Wake Up Call
One of Penny’ wake up calls was when she ended up in a big fight with her 3-year-old. She realized she wasn’t giving him the attention and the presence he needed, because she was focused more on her work.
Style of Leadership
Penny has a coaching style of leadership. She comes from a place of curiosity and uses a collaborative way of coaching.
What Are You Excited About?
She is excited to announce that at the end of February, she is launching her new TV Talk Show, called Excellence Success.
Leadership Practice
Penny’s leadership practice is viewing the big picture and the whole picture by stepping back and getting perspective.
Book to Develop Leadership
Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?
Penny would tell her younger self to compare herself to the best version of herself. She has a book coming out next year called Compared to What, which speaks to this idea.
Inspirational Quote
Stop managing your time and start managing your energy.
