“Pennie doesn’t just connect with her audience – her message reaches out and touches your heart. You might expect to be uncomfortable when she begins to share the very real and painful loss of loved ones in her life and the lives they’ve led. Instead, her message connects with you emotionally and spiritually, with humor and concern. It’s hard to explain, but you walk away from her presentation reflecting on what makes your own life joyful, what gives you strength, and how thankful you are that she has shared such a powerful message.”

“I have had the gift of knowing Pennie for many years. I have spent numerous hours learning from her and leaning on her. She is a teacher, a mentor, and a dear friend who is always there when I need her. Once you meet Pennie you will feel like you have a friend for life, one who really cares and who knows who you are at your core. I have seen her speak in many different settings, and whether it’s a backyard barbeque or a leadership conference filled with the top minds in our area, she brings a message of hope and resiliency. Pennie has a depth to her that can only be described as an “old soul”, with wisdom that flows from a divine source.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Pennie as a colleague, a teaming partner, a client, and as a friend. She is indeed an industry innovator and a genuine leader. On a personal level, Pennie is respected by all within her circle as a person of outstanding character and trustworthiness. The same holds true in the industry by those that have met her and those that have only heard of her. Always willing to help and share her insight, her breadth and depth of knowledge in health care strategy and rural physician recruitment are highly sought after commodities. Pennie always has a "solutions approach" to getting at complex issues. Her attention to detail and "can do" spirit in everything she does, including tactical as well as strategic processes, policies, and business opportunity issues has clearly contributed to her success. My experience in working with Pennie has been one of great admiration of her ability to quickly get at issues and her ability to see the big picture along with all the potential future permutations associated with decisions made today is a trait only few people have. Her skill sets are broad, from sales and marketing, to operational infrastructure development and implementation, to strategic and political thinking. Very unusual to have such breadth and depth embodied in one person. It is indeed my pleasure to provide my strong professional and personal endorsement and recommendation of Ms. Pennie Hunt.

“Pennie is exceptionally talented and visionary in her thinking, and retains a great sense of humor in the process. She is organized and pays attention to detail yet is warm and friendly which is a unique combination.
In her role as a member of the 3RNet Board of Directors and President-Elect her ability to think ahead while considering the effects of decisions is so very helpful to the organization and 3RNet members. Pennie is also willing to share materials, ideas and concepts with others so they can avoid reinventing the proverbial wheel. Because her work is of such high quality her willingness to help others is very much appreciated.
Finally, Pennie has superb management and people skills and brings out the best in others. Yes, I recommend Pennie wholeheartedly.”
