Penny Gee, Performance Consultant/Trainer

Biography 

Penny Gee is a former elementary school teacher, adult English teacher, Fortune 500 sales rep in textbook publishing, a Realtor, and restaurant manager.  In each new chapter in her career she found that she was spending a great deal of time educating the various people she encountered in her daily job assignments.  She didn’t just teach 2nd graders; she also taught their parents about academic expectations and the importance of full circle communication between parents and school.  She didn’t just teach English vocabulary and grammar to adult students; she also taught American Culture.  She didn’t just show people available real estate for purchase; she taught them the buying process.  She didn’t just train someone to clear a restaurant table; she taught them the importance of superior customer service.

Knowledge is Power

With over 20 years sales and education experience, Penny is now focusing her efforts on her true passion:  “empowering others through education.”  She encourages self-improvement through all kinds of courses because “knowledge is power” in our professional and personal lives.  Penny especially chooses to teach or speak on subjects that can make an immediate impact on one’s life.  She strives to empower each and every one in some small way to be a better employee, or a better spouse, or a better parent, or a better neighbor and community member.

Penny’s extensive travel across the U.S. and Mexico taught her the love of languages, culture, and exploration.  She ranks travel as a very valuable form of education.  One of her favorite subjects to teach is “cultural diversity and the appreciation of sameness.”  As a Spanish language student in Mexico, Penny experienced the challenges, frustrations and ultimate feelings of isolation due to lack of communication skills and cultural ignorance.

Penny Gee lives with her husband Scott in a rural setting in North Texas.  She is an avid gardener and nature lover.  She is a regular volunteer in her community on behalf of non profit groups like Meals on Wheels, Angel Tree,  Friends of the Family, and CASA.  She has one daughter who attends Texas State University.
