JOANNA TONG
When Joanna Tong was recruited into her first executive role, she had to lead a multi-disciplinary team to turn the business around. She found textbooks and theories inadequate to address people issues with a people approach, and revisited her heritage.
For more than 20 years, Joanna has successfully combined Eastern concepts of collective success and western business practices to bring people and business together.
Winner of the first-ever North West Women’s Achievement Award and author of two books, Joanna Tong now devotes her time helping organisations enhance collaborations and performance of complex teams with business insights and proven strategies.
Conference audiences in the UK, US and Europe unanimously describe Joanna as “thought-provoking, graceful and fun”.
Come and enjoy this content-rich and inspiring evening with us.
