Some of the places spoken at
"Jo came and talked to the wider
agency about leadership.
It was a wildly successful talk that
had the agency buzzing for long

experience itself, but in the dividends
it pays long after its over. By this and
any metric, her engagement with
the agency was a true success..."

We had lots of positive comments
and appreciation about what Jo
taught. I'd definitely recommend!
Thanks Jo!"
