Linda HonLinda has 30+ years experience in the field of Learning and Organisational Development (L&OD). She started off in the academia (first in Canada, later in Hong Kong) and lectured on Management subjects to both full and part-time undergraduates; solidifying her understanding in the theories and concepts of management. She then joined the business world and began a long career in L&OD in the hospitality industry, IT industry, pharmaceutical industry, media and finance (investment banking, private banking and insurance). Previous employers include Prudential, HSBC, BNY Mellon, Cable TV, Honeywell, Digital etc. In terms of Geography, Asia is her main working ground – from Korea to Singapore, from Vietnam to Japan - but she has also run training in Australia and USA. Audience-wise, participants range from CEOs, MDs to management trainees, from management to sales, operations, functional and administrative staff. With her vast experience in many organisations and industries, Linda has the unique experience of developing (designing and executing) region-wide L&OD architectures that align with company vision, goals, and most important of all, other existing systems. She left behind "blueprints", many of which are still in operation today in Asia. Additionally, structuring a satisfactory development option per sponsor/client's requests is Linda's main interest but she is equally at home on the platform, delivering training. Overtime, Wing and Wheel has also branched out into a unique area of very powerful and unique approach to management skills assessment (The Ultimate Executive Acid Test "UEAT") Linda's personal research topic is how the human brain works, particularly during learning; and in understanding the brain better, we all stand a better chance to unlearn and relearn; helping mature adults to crash through their "glass ceilings" to embark on the next phase of life and career. This very special angle has proven to be very successful when used in Talent Management initiatives in MNCs. |
