Attorney and entrepreneur Frederick Penney was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 5th Annual Power to Soar Leadership Conference presented by the Global Women Wealth Warriors (GW3) at the Thompson Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta, Aug. 19-21.
The three-day health, technology, and wealth symposium recognized leading women and men across a range of industries for their commitment to educating and empowering young leaders. Mr. Penney accepted his award alongside other entrepreneurs and philanthropists, including Glenn Lundy, Juanita Bonds, Rushia Brown, and Mohammed Younes Cherhabil. He also received a special recognition from the City of Atlanta.
Mr. Penney stated, “I was thrilled when GW3’s founder Ms. Renee Knorr contacted my office about being honored by the Global Women Wealth Warriors and receiving special recognition from the City of Atlanta. Renee has built a wonderful group of powerful influential women across the globe who set a great example for both men and women—I was truly honored.”
The conference featured 100 influential men and 100 influential women as well as 30 speakers, including global award-winning founders; sought-after strategists; scientists; NFT and crypto experts; and marketing, branding, and sales experts. They shared insights into everything from computer technology to health to financial and personal success, both as speakers and while mingling with attendees.
As the concluding speaker of the conference, Mr. Penney talked about the importance of resisting the temptation to spend money on needless things when you are first building your business. He relayed that success is not a destination, but a journey, and that as such, the word “success” should be a verb, not a noun.
He shared how he, growing up as a country boy, learned to work hard and never give up, two lessons that helped him personally and financially succeed in life. Among other people, Mr. Penney attributed his success to the women in his life, including his mother, grandmothers, wife and daughters. Mr. Penney spoke about how he started his law firm 30 years ago at a time when few thought he could succeed. Still, he said, he decided to take the risk and open his own firm. He said he was determined to not let stumbling blocks stop him from succeeding as a lawyer and entrepreneur.
Mr. Penney and other award recipients were honored during the VIP recognition award dinner that wrapped up the conference. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Penney said, “I celebrate those women who are here and who inspire me as a person…A toast to Renee Knorr for holding another successful Women Wealth Warriors event.”
The next Global Women Wealth Warriors event is scheduled to take place in Dubai in January 2023.
