Jenny Robinson has worked all over the world; been kidnapped (yes, but it wasn’t that serious); driven through the Borneo jungle as her commute to work; and learnt to be effective in the normal office environments of Asia, Europe, America and Africa. She works on leadership development and as a mindfulness coach to senior executives.
