Inside Out is a weekly newsletter for leaders who want space to think clearly and make sound decisions when pressure escalates.
This is leadership from the inside out, practical evidence-backed support for staying aligned with what matters as pace, complexity, and responsibility increase. Each week, you’ll receive a real leadership moment to reflect on, a thoughtful AI prompt you can use as a thinking partner and reflective mirror, and early access to my latest research, coaching places, and group programs.
If you’re leading in environments where your decisions shape people, culture, and what you leave behind, you’re very welcome here.
Simply drop your details below to grab the next edition.

Penny Locaso is a behavioural scientist and leadership coach helping leaders do hard things humanly. A current Master of Psychology student, her thesis examined how relational context shapes compassionate decision-making, expanding on a year-long study in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr Gabor Maté.
Combining two decades of commercial leadership with behavioural science and trauma-informed practice, Penny helps organisations and leaders cultivate clarity, trust, and wise action to enable greater impact. Her evidence-based approach has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, the Australian Financial Review and on the TEDx Melbourne stage, and she’s worked with leaders across Google, Microsoft, Lululemon, Deloitte and Bookings.com to name but a few.
Penny’s work reframes compassion as the missing infrastructure of modern leadership, a skillset that anchors humanity in systems built for speed, enabling people and performance to flourish together.
