About Penelope

I am the Company Director and Founder of Stimulus, and am based in Lancashire, UK. As an accredited life coach, I am passionate about empowering individuals especially women who are marginalised for example, due to their gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, socio-economic background.

I am an experienced business leader, life coach and workshop facilitator. I take a nurturing and supportive approach to leadership, and I am a completer finisher.

I believe in empowering leaders to maximise the resources they already have. I am accomplished at project management and a firm believer in establishing quality principles, systems and processes.

I’m also the proud mum of a 14-year-old young man.

Our accredited life coaches are serious about our commitment to work with women suppliers across the UK. We actively seek working with women entrepreneurs who are at the start of their commercial journey.

MEET SIBAQA; OUR MODEL

It has been such a pleasure to work with her. She was diligent and understood the image we wanted our website to have. She models part time along with a full time job. She’s worked for Poshaak clothing and sleek Asian magazine.

MEET RUBY; OUR DIGITAL DESIGNER

In her words: I am 15 and hoping to study Art and Design at college next year. I enjoy graphic design, which I am studying at school, and modern calligraphy. I really enjoyed this design challenge, and feel it has given me some good experience for my future career. The project made me think about my own Bangladeshi heritage (my dad’s family are from Bangladesh) and it was good to create something which reflects all different kinds of women and girls.

MEET SANIYA; OUR WEB DEVELOPER

Though Saniya is based in a completely different time zone, it did not impact her work, communication or deliverables.

She works with High Career Growth, a company based in Bangalore, India.

MEET JOSIA, OUR SOCIAL MEDIA DESIGNER
Josia is 14 years old and a strong advocator for those who are marginalized. She loves making people smile and learning new things. She’s thoughtful and believes this opportunity will serve her well for her future.

What Our Clients Say...

As Chairman of Charity - Tameside Canal Boat Trust, I have been working with Penelope for the last 2 months, She has been helping us access funding & business support, after a difficult 2020 due to Covid 19, we had exhausted all other avenues, and, we really were at a loss of who to turn to next, operating solely on water, therefore not eligible for any government business aid. She was very supportive, and was able to find, and pass on, links to funding opportunities, straight away, also helping us in setting up a fundraising page. Thanks to Penelope our charity now have a chance of survival, post lockdown.
- Mark Neild, Chairman

I am 26 year old, Black British woman working on the third part of my Architecture degree (RIBA). I am finding it hard to get the experience I want in social housing architecture. I became skeptical of being a woman of colour in a traditional male dominated profession. Coaching with Penelope helped me to explore and understand my limiting beliefs, to not be defined by one experience.
- Annabella L., Student

I would have no reservations in recommending Stimulus as a key partner in taking you to the next level of your venture. Stimulus provided an excellent consultancy service to Humraaz to develop our business strategy in particular in light of the changing climate of demands of the charity sector. The mentoring support provided by Penelope was second to none. Stimulus held our hand throughout the process and initiated the structure and implementation to a degree that we can now pursue our mission and vision successfully.
- Firoza Mohmed, CEO Humraaz

Prior to receiving coaching with Penelope at Stimulus, I was in a rut with my mental health, physical health and life goals. Life was a not a focal point and my head was a busy mess. I had little value of myself and measured who I was by others successes and negativity. I never took into account any of my achievements. Finding fault with myself was a weight that pinned me down and worrying about what others thought of me dominated my mind and everyday life. With a debilitating eye in the past, I found it hard to be able to look forward into the future and find purpose and any achievable goals.
- James K., Stuck in Life

Three words to describe my experience on the BME Leadership programme - Enriching, Engaging, Enabling. Every single moment. I was gifted with a new and a renewed learning experience. The conversations facilitated openness and better connections.
- Eva, Charity Coordinator

I was undecided about which course to do. I want to be a doctor and I haven't passed the entrance examination and my family don't want to waste time and money. I was unhappy and didn't feel like living. I made a desperate attempt to access coaching. Working with Penelope ma'am I was able to gain clarity on what I wanted to do, make realistic goals and work to achieve them.
Sukhvinder, Student India

I gained a package of strategies and daily tasks that I will use to develop and improve who I am, not only for myself but those who I share my life with. Penelope helped me to structure my thinking in different ways to reset a busy mind and fine-tune my outlook. I feel more confident and able to value myself a little more. These gifts are enabling me to reach and fulfil the goals I set myself.
- Jameela A., Media Professional

It has been a pleasure to work with Penelope @ Stimulus Ltd. She has a friendly and professional manner that put me at ease straight away. It is clear that she is passionate about the work that she does in the third sector and has great knowledge of all aspects. I would definitely work with Penelope again and highly recommend her to other organisations that may need some support.
- Helen Hay, Executive Director

The main thing I've gained is the awareness and presence of mind to reframe a situation. This has been huge in overcoming negative spirals and 'slumps' in my mood and thought patterns. Coaching has been so influential in my life and I'm so happy I decided to give it a try. I highly recommend Penelope; she has a calm and warm manner which invites you to share just as much as you want/need to.
- Selina D., Ph.D. Student
