Penny Haslam is an inspirational speaker who shares her insights and knowledge from two decades as a BBC business journalist with a style that is upfront, honest, and funny. She has been christened “the Michael McIntyre of business speaking” by one audience member.
In her keynote, “Make Yourself A Little Bit Famous”, she shows audience members how to get exposure for what they do, so that they can gain the competitive advantage for their career or business.

Audiences learn why it’s important to “get out there” and how to do it brilliantly – showcasing what they do, without feeling like they’re showing off. She injects new life into selling and promoting ourselves and updates the elevator pitch with her version that helps individuals sound authentic.

Penny’s broadcasting career has spanned 20 years, being involved in presenting on BBC Breakfast, the News Channel, Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live. She has also reported for The One Show and fronted two Panorama investigations.

She is a TEDx speaker on the “Power of Visibility”, and was named UK Speaker of the Year 2016 by her peers in the Professional Speaking Association (PSA).

Penny is an in-demand speaker and her clients include Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), American Express, International Business Festival, VentureFest, RSM UK, BAE Systems, Tyco, JLL, Deloitte, Irwin Mitchell, British Chamber of Commerce, and IoD North West.
