"A dynamic & highly entertaining speaker"

​"He's achieved some remarkable things but makes me feel like I can too"

Why you should book Sam Penny for your conference

A depth of first-hand experience

Sam has has experienced a very varied career through sport and business. Sam has served in the Australian army, grown businesses and seen some fail. He has gained a BE (civil), and MBA, studied at MIT, but rather than using these as impressive letters after his name, their purpose was to seek more knowledge that he could implement into his life. He is currently one of Australia's leading cheesemongers, an art photographer and runs several ecommerce businesses. This wide array of experience ensures that Sam is able to directly relate to everyone in the room, regardless of who they are.

"Sam feels totally relatable even considering the insane things he has achieved"

An Inspiring Speaker inspiring to make real change

There is no denying that Sam is a doer. He's certainly proven that he can get out there and achieve some amazing things. But his philosophy is simple, which he loves to impart on his audience. Yes he does some bloody crazy stuff but he can show a path to achieving great things that can be followed by anyone. Sam believes that "everyone has greatness in them. It's just a matter of exploring what that greatness is and drawing it out".

"Sam isn't about just showing off what he's achieved, he's about inspiring your delegates to achieve greatness with simple tools."

Sam love to be part of what you are offering

Sam believes that the key to a better speaker is to immerse himself in your event. He enjoys getting to your event early so that he can see, first hand, what is being communicated.  He understands that sometimes, a speaker's flight might be delayed so if that means he can help out and fill in, he will. And he loves nothing more than hanging around after to meet delegates and answer any questions that they may have. But of course, that's if you want him here. Because you are placing value in what he is offering means that he wants to return that respect and give you great value for your event and your delegates.

Sam is extremely easy to work with

Right from the outset, you will find Sam easy to communicate with, work with and find him flexible in what he delivers for you. He will tailor his "performance" to suit your needs so that you and your delegates get maximum value. Having achieved so much in his entrepreneurship and sporting lives, he understands that things don't always go to plan. But his ability to be flexible means that you won't get a hissy fit, rather, you'll get someone cool, collected and willing to adapt to the situation.

Why not an MC and Keynote rolled in to one?

What better way to maximise your value than by having your MC and keynote being the same person! Sam's extensive experience, whit and cheekiness allows him to entertain a crowd, keep things professional and moving to the timeline but also add to the gaps to provide greater value. And when everyone thought they knew what the MC has achieved, they can then be inspired to make change and create great results with his inspiring keynote address.
