It gives us satisfaction to know that we have made a positive impact on people.
See what some participants have to say about programmes conducted by Joy:
“Joy is a very friendly, cheerful, enthusiastic, engaging and energetic speaker. She is obviously very well versed in her areas of training.
Notwithstanding the sessions were short, but after lunch, it is often challenging for anyone to stay awake. Somehow, Joy is able to make the “somewhat” dry topics more interesting. Her cheerful and lively delivery really rubbed onto the participants and her way of engaging the participants rendered the talks far more enjoyable, impactful and memorable.
I am definitely looking forward to the next lunch-time by Joy Hou.”
