Penny got in touch with us a while back and told us she was thinking of starting a CreativeMornings up in Sheffield. There was something special about her from the word go. She’s funny, clever and has a great tale to tell in terms of imaging your fantasy life and moving mountains to get there.

She also goes by the name Brand Directoress having worked with the likes of Wrangler, Levis, Ikea and Lacoste. In terms of branding and art direction it’s safe to say she knows her stuff. Her heart lies in being outdoors and so she’s also building Walking, Whisky, Wellness to encourage us to get out from behind our desks and think on our feet.

Penny is joining us on Friday to talk Fantasy in terms of changing up your life completely, she knows how hard it is to let go of established habits and assumptions and face the challenges that come with starting over. She’s also going to speak about the fantasy of the creative life being easy and relaxed since, as many of us know, bringing your creative skills to your working life takes guts as you’ve really got to put yourself out there.

We are also planning a Walking, Whisky, Wellness outing on Saturday afternoon from about 2 till 5/6 and you’re all invited, keep it free if you fancy joining us - more details to follow but we’re hoping it’ll involve watching the sun go down, a nice glass of whisky and a campfire.

New venue, new speaker and new direction - tickets are limited so grab yours and hope to see you on Friday!
