The power of ‘I don’t know’ & safe space in schools! Joanna Hotung #7 Pt.1
08/21/23 • 26 min
One of the best conversations I’ve had so far on the show & I will be splitting this up into 2 episodes!
Everyone is talking about safe spaces, but how do we actually create them? The schools need them, the workplace need them, and frankly in society. As always we chat about these topics with the Asian perspective:
- Failure and the power of ‘I don’t know!’
- The intergenerational gap in the workplace
- The ‘human’ skills we need to hone in on
Joanna is Director of Hotung Mills Education Foundation. She is the Founder of the KG Group, which has seen over 80,000 young people pass through its doors, and alumni are studying at prestigious universities or working in a wide range of fields worldwide. Prior to this she worked at PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Marks and Spencer, Head Office, London.
Joanna has degrees from the Universities of London and Warwick, and is a Licentiate of Trinity College London. She is an Arts Advisor to the University of Warwick, and a Board Member at The Women’s Foundation, Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, Youth Diabetes Action, Playright Children’s Play Association, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
Among many awards, she is winner of South China Morning Post Women of our Time and the American Chamber of Commerce Women of Influence Entrepreneur award.
