Penny was invited to speak to our Corporate Sales team, one week before the London Olympics. It was the perfect timing for a double gold medallist to address our team, as they were at the starting tracks of an incentive competition. We received rave reviews about Penny’s talk. She was absolutely captivating with her sincere reflections of her successes and her journey. She connected with the team through her humility and her effortless style of sharing profound messages through relating stories through her eyes. Penny, is not only a hero to our most recent Gold-medallists; Cameron & Chad but she has provided our sales team with the jewels of wisdom and motivation. Our sincere thanks to Penny and Zelda.” Sharon Rao-Farista Marketing Manager| Large Corporates & Resellers| Business Marketing| MTN SA (Pty) Limited|

I was fortunate to hear you speak at the Bidvest conference this week. Your talk was so gracious and honest, I felt quite inspired afterwards. I have taken many things out of it to apply to my personal life and my work life, and to pass on to my family and staff. Keep up the great work, and I wish you every success for the future.

I found your talk very enjoyable and entertaining. To have the opportunity to hear someone’s experiences and journey to the top is a real privilege. From a personal note, hearing your thoughts especially ‘where ever you are, put in 100%’ and ‘do your own race’ , amongst others, are great messages to pass on. We will definitely look at using you when the opportunity arises. Dave Clark – Managing Director Océ South Africa – a member of the BIDVest Group

“It’s amazing how quickly we forget about our sport stars and their achievements, I recon it’s all a function of our “busy” schedules and the hectic sports calendar on Super Sport. I fully understand why the Nebraska Huskers are so proud of “our” Penny Heyns. I’ve sat through a number of these type of speeches and motivational talks over the last couple of years – some great and some, well interesting. I must admit, not only in terms of the message and the content, or the fact that I can relate being the same age and still remember watching the games on TV the other day, or just the relaxing way that you conveyed the message, I’m glad I was there. Thank you for sharing your life experience and the lessons learned. We’ve all had dreams to succeed in the sport we played and very few of us succeeded. Probably because we did not know what it takes or gave up too early! Well, success in life (all aspects I might add) comes with hard work and commitment and sometimes we need to listen to someone else’s story to gain perspective and understanding of what they had to do to achieve success. Well done and thank you! ” RIAAN CRONJE Commercial Director Broco Transport Consultants

Well done yesterday and a special thank you for organizing Penny Heyns. I seldom get moved by motivational talks but yesterday was the exception. She illustrated the idea of giving ones best and personal success in a very practical way. It was great to note that true champions like Penny also do go through tough times when they want to give up. Her illustration of how she managed to set such world records are lessons that I believe we all can apply in everyday life, both personally and professionally. Big thumbs up to her. Regards, Clive Masinga Divisional Sales Manager: IMPERIAL Logistics Consumer Products

Dear Zelda A warm thank you to Penny and yourself for the professional way you handled our engagement. Penny has always been an inspiration to me and seeing her last week and hearing of her experiences was truly inspirational. Penny managed to keep our attention, whilst at the same time driving home a key message. Many attendees commented afterwards that they really enjoyed her talk. I will definitely recommend her to everybody around me as I personally received some food for thought. We need more heroes like that and we remain proud of her achievements.
