FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR - PENNY FENNER

 I have been rigorously trained in management and leadership development, coaching, psychology, education, the Enneagram and Buddhism. This thorough training, decades of experience, and direct, challenging, insightful and results-oriented approach, is distinctive, giving me both breadth and depth.

Alongside formal education, I have studied and practised with eminent masters from Eastern and Western wisdom traditions in India, Nepal, USA and Australia since the late 1970’s. I was instrumental in helping establish two prominent Buddhist centres, which directly influenced the rapid implantation of Buddhism in Australia.

In 1990, I completed the equivalent of an MBA in an innovative , ground-breaking "Management in Action" program with Dr. Fernando Flores in San Francisco, (in leadership, management and coaching). I was able to introduce this work to Australia which opened the way for a powerful approach to coaching and organizational development. My coaching work includes supervision, individual and team coaching and training for managers.

I am co-author of Essential Wisdom Teachings - the way to inner peace, as well as author of numerous articles and journal publications. I am also an unpublished poet and I am currently working on possibly two new books, one based on my life work, and one chronicling my unusual life story.

Adjacent to all of this, I am a mum, (and a step grandmother too), passionate gardener, aspiring singer and lover of all things in nature. I manage to spend precious time every year restoring and rejuvenating in India as well as enjoying the wonders of travel and teaching in a range of countries. I am fortunate to have a truly amazing network of exceptionally trained, experienced professionals all over the world.
