COMMITTEE FOR MELBOURNE - FUTURE FOCUS GROUP Workshop and keynote by Tania de Jong AM

"Tania de Jong managed to challenge and inspire us to think beyond the usual bounds of leadership style by taking us on a journey of breath, chant and song. It affirmed for many that if allowed, creativity can and will 'create' great leaders."
"It was refreshing to do something completely different and to listen to Tania's magnificent voice. Tania was also a very engaging speaker who clearly demonstrated that encouraging creativity in the workplace results in benefits for both the organisation and employees."

— Focus Group Participants

"Can you pass on appreciation to Tania for demonstrating that creativity in business can actually work. Although a short session, it was apparent to me that Tania's passion, energy and initiative can flow through and bring out the creative side in everyone and can assist in improving all aspects of a business, irrespective productive and enjoyable and this one was a belter."
— Sally Capp, CEO, Committee for Melbourne
