Penny Daniels

Penny Daniels has spent more than 25 years helping leaders across the healthcare industry, nonprofits, academia and government identify their vision and find their voice. A former television news anchor and reporter in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. Miami and for nationally syndicated newscasts, Penny leverages her newsroom experience as an interviewer, reporter and writer to draw the best content and performances out of even the most reluctant communicators. She has co-launched two companies, coached thousands of executives, and written keynote speeches and presentations for hundreds more. Penny specializes in innovators and visionaries who are actively shaping the future and need a partner to help them say it in a way the world will remember. Here is an example of one of her talks: From the Newsroom to the Boardroom: Conviction is the New Charisma In a marketplace flooded with content — often exclusively AI-generated these days — the leaders who break through aren't always the most polished. They're the ones saying something only they could say. Drawing on nearly two decades as a news anchor and reporter in New York, Chicago, Miami, Washington, D.C., and nationally syndicated broadcasts, followed by 20+ years coaching healthcare and Fortune 100 executives, Penny Daniels reframes confidence: it isn't a delivery skill, it's a byproduct of saying what you actually believe. Attendees learn how to leverage their own life stories and simple tools to define their own values and message and speak like a human being in a world full of “bots.” They’ll leave with a method for finding the content that's genuinely theirs — not a borrowed framework — and using it to stand out, build connections and trust, and make a lasting impact on their organizations, their employees and their field.
