See Jo in action

“Dr Joanna Martin may not be the sort of speaker you would find at most management conferences, but she should be. Her energy and passion draws the audience’s attention and, once she has it, she weaves a narrative around the themes in a way that makes them easy to grasp, relatable and engaging. She quickly identified points of commonality in a diverse audience, drawing them together to engage with each other and inspiring them to take action. During her session the atmosphere in the room lifted as the delegates began to spark off each other. After the event delegates described her session as engaging, inspiring, practical and revolutionary.”
