Joey believes a leader’s level of consciousness determines the effectiveness of their leadership. He is also amazed by the beauty, simplicity, and complexity of adult development theory, and how it goes hand-in-hand with many current management theories. Joey has two favourite practices: systems thinking and mental models, both originated from Peter Senge’s work on Learning Organization. As China becomes the centre stage of the world, Joey wants to use the deep knowledge of adult development theory, together with his vision to see more conscious businesses in China region, to help local companies become more socially responsible.

Joey has been working as an organization development consultant for more than 15 years, his main focus is on organization change management, team coaching, including capacity building for C-level global leaders. He actively serves a range of clients within the telecommunications, finance, trading, and pharmaceutical sectors that have operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and several cities across mainland China.
