“Jovina has been a keynote speaker and supporter for several of our Cisco events, including the Cisco Women of Impact Event – a high profile worldwide event for employees, partners and customers. She has spoken on the topics of inspiring communication, storytelling, as well as career sponsorship. Her presentations were relevant, insightful, and above all, super engaging. I highly recommend Jovina for speaking engagements!”
Ulrike Agostin, Lead, APJC Partner Programmes, Cisco Systems“I had the pleasure of attending Jovina's workshops on Diversity & Inclusion and Communication, and I must say, she truly delivered inspiring sessions. She effectively shared her knowledge and expertise, making the learning experience enjoyable and impactful. She is an excellent facilitator and has a wealth of experience to share.”
Ariana Siew, Communication Business Partner, Asia Pacific, Autodesk“Jovina writes like she speaks: sharp and to the point. Making sense of academic writing requires fortitude, but communicating it is often an art as much as it is a science. Jovina is that rare breed that marries the two.”
Alvin Lee, Editor“The most rewarding aspects of my interaction with Jovina: she helped me channel my efforts in leveraging my strengths and reduce weaknesses that are career derailers. She spent time pointing me to the resources to help and then coached me how to improve and provided a safe space in asking for help. Jovina is an inductive coach, decisive and organised and good at creating new models, long term planning and goal setting. All the necessary attributes that make her one of top of leadership coaches I have had the pleasure to work with.”
Aparna Rajesh, Consultant, Tata Consultancy Services“I attended Dr Jovina’s lessons during partial easing of the pandemic when lessons were conducted online. I was very amazed by Dr Jovina’s energy and ability to engage us throughout the whole day for every lesson. Her insights to the topic were invaluable and she asked thought-provoking questions. There was never a dull moment! When modules resumed in person, the learning experience continued to be enriching and her passion to impart knowledge to the group was truly infectious! I am looking forward to my next module with Dr Jovina!”
