About Talu Coaching
Hello, I’m Penny George, founder of Talu Coaching, where transformation begins with conversation. As a coach with over 20 years of experience, I specialise in helping professionals shift their mindset, break through barriers, and create lasting confidence and success.
My career has been anything but conventional. From leading high-performing sales teams in the art world to developing training programmes for businesses and colleges, including sales and personal development. , I’ve always been driven by a passion for growth—both mine and others’.
I thrived in B2B technology sales and account management, gaining invaluable commercial insight, and have worked extensively in sales, coaching, and training, mentoring teams, working with high-net-worth clients, and helping individuals achieve ambitious personal and professional goals.
Alongside this, I built my own coaching practice, supporting professionals in overcoming stress, self-doubt, and career transitions.
Life itself has been my greatest teacher. Raised by a strong matriarch after losing my father at a young age, I learned that resilience isn’t just about enduring challenges—it’s about evolving through them. Marriage, divorce, remarriage, and raising a blended family have deepened my understanding of personal transformation.
At Talu Coaching, I bring together my commercial expertise, coaching skills, and deep understanding of human behaviour to help professionals overcome fear of failure, imposter syndrome, and limiting beliefs. Whether you’re at a crossroads in your career, battling stress, or struggling with confidence, I help you move forward with clarity and control.
Talu means "talk" in Old English because true change starts with honest conversation.
If you’re ready to step into a more confident, capable version of yourself, let’s talk.

Breaking Free from Emotional Blocks
Do you feel like something is holding you back, but you’re not sure what?

Finding Clarity and Purpose
If you feel stuck or unfulfilled, it’s often because your goals, values, or direction feel unclear. Without clarity, decision-making becomes overwhelming, and progress feels impossible. You may have achieved success but still feel something is missing.

Feeling directionless or uncertain about the future

Struggling to define personal or professional goals
