At Penelope Barr, we believe in making complex things simple, and that includes the way we do business. We hate unfairness, repetition, and “rabbiting on,” so these Terms and Conditions are designed to be clear, straightforward, and focused on mutual success.

By engaging Penelope Barr for keynotes, workshops, coaching, retreats, or by purchasing our digital products and programs, you agree to the following terms.

1. Investment and Payment Terms

We do not charge for hours; we charge for results and outcomes. To ensure a premium experience and mutual commitment, the following financial terms apply:

• Upfront Payment: For speaking engagements, workshops, and coaching, a 50% or 100% upfront payment is required to secure your booking and officially commence our pre-engagement process. 
• Payment plans: For the program or engagement balance can be arranged. 
• No Discount Policy: We do not discount our rates. However, we are always happy to discuss adjusting the scope of an engagement to better align with the value you need and your available budget.
• Invoicing: Final invoices or remaining balances will be issued strictly according to the schedule agreed upon in your proposal or onboarding call.

2. Intellectual Property

The frameworks we use are not just ideas; they are proven, proprietary architecture.

• All concepts, methodologies, and models—including the 6:3:3 Model, the Personal Best Benchmark, Career on your Terms, ProductYou, and the Win the Night to Win the Day daily architecture—are the exclusive intellectual property of Penelope Barr.
• When you engage our services or purchase our books, diaries, or courses, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive license to use these tools for your own life design or within the specific scope of the corporate engagement.
• You may not reproduce, resell, repurpose, or train others using our intellectual property without explicit, written permission.

3. Keynotes and Corporate Workshops

When you book Penelope Barr for a keynote or workshop, you are booking a premium, transformational experience:

• Logistics and Pre-Engagement: Once your booking is confirmed, our team will coordinate all logistics and technical requirements to ensure seamless delivery.
• Cancellations and Postponements: If you need to reschedule or cancel a confirmed keynote or workshop, please notify us immediately. Postponements or cancellations made within 30 days of the event may incur a fee or forfeiture of the upfront deposit, as that time was exclusively reserved for your organisation.
• Travel: For engagements outside of Melbourne, reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be quoted and billed in addition to the speaker fee, unless otherwise agreed upon in your proposal.

4. Coaching and Programs

Whether you are joining Career on Your Terms, entering a 6-month coaching engagement, or attending a retreat in Torquay or France, for example:

• Commitment: We provide the architecture; you build the house. Our coaching and programs are designed for high-performers ready to take action. Results require your active participation, experimentation, and willingness to do the work.
• Refunds: Because of the high-touch nature of our coaching and the limited capacity of our retreats, payments for these services are generally non-refundable once the program or booking has commenced and within a reasonable period prior to the event, as specifically outlined for individual events or programs.

5. Limitation of Liability

Our goal is to help you stop enduring and start designing. We provide strategic advice, frameworks, and coaching based on 25+ years of executive experience. However:

• Penelope Barr and her team are not liable for the specific financial, business, or personal outcomes of your decisions.
• Success in a portfolio career or corporate transformation depends on numerous factors outside our control. You retain full autonomy and responsibility for how you implement the 6:3:3 model and other frameworks into your life and business.

6. Contact and Clarification

If you have any questions before signing your proposal or purchasing a product, please reach out. Clear agreements allow us to focus entirely on the work that matters: helping you show up as your personal best.
