Highly experienced management leader and personal development coach with over twenty years experience in business.

Penny Ferguson, the UK’s leading expert on Personal Leadership, is Founder of The Living Leader, a company that designs and delivers transformational leadership programmes.

Abandoned as a baby, teased and bullied at school, emotionally and physically destroyed by not one, not two, but three abusive marriages, Penny found herself on the cusp of fifty, broke, alone, and in despair. Taking stock of her circumstances, she resolved to turn her life around, to break the patterns that had governed her life so far, and to stop wasting her life. In order to change her life, she had to change herself.

​

Drawing on her personal experiences she created the personal leadership programme which today has been attended by over 60,000 people.

Founder of The Living Leader and successful public speaker Penny has inspired many people to do the same… Change their lives.

​

Penny’s sessions are not for the faint-hearted.  She is honest, direct and challenging, delivering a compelling message with practical ideas on what to do differently for improved performance, both professionally and personally.

​

Penny designed The Living Leader’s flagship programme, The Personal Leadership Programme (PLP) some 25 years ago. It has been instrumental in transforming the lives of over 60,000 individuals across the globe.  This unique Leadership Programme, which draws on personal experiences, life lessons and powerful models to teach life changing concepts and leadership skills has transformed clients’ business performance and enabled individual leaders to gain insights into how they can realise their full leadership potential in both their professional and personal lives.

Penny has a very pragmatic approach, is an inspirational speaker, connecting with her audiences in a deeply personal way and is also the author of two books.  Her life experiences resonate for many people and her honesty is refreshing.   As a leadership coach she has worked with many senior executives throughout the world, helping them to develop their unique abilities and create cultural shifts through their organisations.
