Penny Taylor
I believe in the power of authentic stories.
Based in New York, I partner with executives to create talks that capture an audience’s attention; inspire, persuade, and move people to action.
GREAT TALK! builds on my background in professional theater and storytelling, a widely viewed TEDx talk, and my years of experience in producing and coaching high-stakes corporate event content. I work with clients to uncover their unique stories and create powerful talks that get results, whether you’re stepping onto a keynote stage, addressing stakeholders, or navigating a defining career moment.
Together we can create a talk that your audience will not just remember, but will act on.
When you have something important to say - make it a GREAT TALK.
What people are saying …
Penny is warm, engaging, and genuinely fun to work with. She has a rare ability to cut straight to the point and provide direct, actionable feedback in a way that feels respectful, supportive, and encouraging.
She balances practical clarity with relevance to the audience and situation, and helps you stay true to your own authentic voice. Anyone looking to elevate their presentation skills would be lucky to work with her.

Working directly with our CEO and executive team, Penny refined scripts and coached speakers with empathy and clarity — meeting each person where they were and helping them feel confident and prepared.

Penny gave me invaluable insight into my pitch and clarity around my goals, helping me to organize my thoughts and add powerful examples to the talk. Our sessions helped me focus on what was most important and made my pitch more compelling. Incredibly grateful and looking forward to honing my skills as we continue to work together.
