PENNY MALLORY<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"\/bournemouth2019\/files\/2019\/02\/PENNY-Mallory-Speaker-256x300.jpg\")
<\/a>Often known for her passion for motor sport, Penny has always been a \u201cpeople person.\u201d \u00a0Her personal story is both unusual and inspiring. Penny shares the ups and downs of turning her life from \u2018homeless waster\u2019 to \u2018Rally Champion\u2019, inspiring audiences to achieve greater things for themselves. She achieved her lifelong dream, despite being told she was the \u2018wrong sex\u2019 and \u2018too old\u2019.<\/p>\nHer story starts when she left home, aged 14, never to return. She went to London, looking for a better life, but spent nearly 2 years in hostels for the homeless. Her life was completely out of control. But she realised that only she could change it. In time, she worked her way to becoming a sound engineer and a graphic artist. A chance event gave her an opportunity and, against the odds, Penny became the first woman in the World to compete in a World Rally Car.<\/p>\n
Twenty-five years ago, she trained in social work and she works in a Category B prison delivering a restorative justice course. The impact of the course has reduced the chance of offenders re-offending from 76% down to 34%.<\/p>\n
Penny has spoken all over the world, delivering presentations include The Psychology of Success <\/em>and World Class Thinking: World Class Behaviour<\/em>. She is often asked to share her tips on teamwork, goal setting, focus, leadership and how to achieve extraordinary results. Penny has entered the boxing ring for two fights, one opponent being TV chef Monica Galett i(!) She has completed 4 marathons and a Triathlon. She learnt to play polo and completed a successful ascent in 2008 of the tough North face of Europe\u2019s highest mountain, Mount Elbrus, and summited Mount Kilimanjaro. Her self-development book Take Control of Your Life<\/em> received outstanding reviews, including from Brian Ashton MBE (England\u2019s Rugby Head Coach), and reached the #2 ranking in two Amazon categories.<\/p>\nShe says \u201cI love the buzz and physical challenge of running, riding and boxing. But to find real balance in life, it is essential to achieve moments of stillness and mindfulness. I believe that balance is the key to unlocking pure, true potential\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\nGEORGE ANDERSON<\/h2>\n

<\/a>An unconventional athlete, a relentlessly curious coach and a wellbeing mentor, George\u2019s helpful philosophy is \u2018Progress not Perfection.\u201d<\/p>\nMany claim that George and his work is instrumental in positively impacting their mental health.\u00a0George Anderson embraces his own vulnerability and imperfections, using experiences of failure and self-limitation as steps on the way to success.\u00a0Listening to George is not \u201chearing a speech\u201d. It is more an invitation to accompany him on a journey, for your benefit.<\/p>\n
George graduated with a Masters Degree in Automotive Engineering, but knew he didn\u2019t want to pursue that career. His true passion was wellbeing and fitness, and he became a personal trainer. As his work was appreciated by runners of all abilities, from beginners to seasoned competitors, he was invited as the training partner of the Reading Half Marathon.<\/p>\n
A failed attempt at an eCommerce business brought an unexpected benefit: George now had a significant on-line following, so he offered his training workshops to them.<\/p>\n
Next, he wrote the book Beginner\u2019s Luck Guide for Non-Runners.\u00a0 Identifying the most common pitfalls and problems, he systematically (and gently) helped them to overcome these. The book is a course in self-belief: thousands of people rewrite their stories of personal success, having previously told themselves that they weren\u2019t capable of achieving their aims.<\/p>\n
Although he has successfully completed 10 marathons in 10 days, two 24-hour, 100-mile ultra-marathons, an Ironman Triathlon and a local charity version of Strictly Come Dancing (not his obvious comfort zone!) George has also had failures. He\u2019s human, after all.<\/p>\n
George has a Facebook group with over 5,000 members: it began as a personal challenge to provide an environment where his followers can share their own experiences and successes. But his commitment has created one of the most supportive, judgement-free and empathetic communities on the Internet<\/p>\n
To ease you into the day, George\u2019s presentation at this year\u2019s SIGBI Conference will include some gentle exercises which you can do whilst seated or standing, if you wish to do so.<\/p>\n
