I set up Earth Converse as a leadership collaborative to reflect how I co-create with clients and partner with similarly aligned agencies. And see it as small enough to offer depth, presence and close attention and flexible enough to expand when needed.
As founder, I lead all engagements personally. Where appropriate, I collaborate with highly experienced coaches and facilitators drawn from an international network developed through years of partnership with organizations such as Common Purpose, Lane4 (now part of EY), Impact International, and business networks including The Argonauts.
Earth Converse approach
Engaging with Earth Converse brings together aliveness and practicality.
The work integrates strategy, leadership development, coaching, mindfulness and nature-based practice to support whole-person leadership – leadership that is:
inwardly grounded
relationally skilled
outwardly in service of life
This is not leadership development as a one-off intervention. It is developmental work designed to meet leaders where they are – and support their next leap.
What I bring to every engagement
Across all contexts – whether coaching executives one-to-one, facilitating strategic dialogue at the United Nations, or leading retreats in nature – my role is consistent: to create the conditions in which insight, courage and wise action can emerge.
Clients often name the following qualities as distinctive in the work:
Grounded wisdom and calm authority
Deep listening and relational presence
Developmental rigour and clear structure
Systems thinking and strategic perspective
The capacity to hold space for conversations that truly matter
Supporting leadership leaps
Earth Converse offers a small number of focused engagement pathways, aligned with the three leadership leaps.
Leading Self
One-to-one leadership and executive coaching
Supporting leaders to strengthen inner authority, clarity and resilience – particularly in moments of pressure, transition or complexity.
Leading Others
Team offsites and retreats
Working with teams to build trust, strengthen relationships, improve communication and create the conditions for wise performance and learning.
Leading Big
Individualized regenerative leadership journeys
Bespoke programs supporting senior leaders, founders and change-makers to lead with greater systemic awareness, coherence and impact.
Begin the Conversation
If you or your organization are at a threshold – sensing that what has worked until now is no longer sufficient – I would welcome a conversation.
Together we can explore:
What you are navigating right now
What kind of leadership is being called for
Whether Earth Converse is the right partner for your next step
“Nature speaks. And if we learn how to listen, the messages come clear.
No one in my life has shown me ways to witness nature as Penny has done.
She holds keys and practices that make the mind surrender and allow you enter a space that you realized you never inhabited before. And that space exudes infinite wisdom”.
Jose Palma – Student of Life! (and retreat participant)
