Joanne Flinn

After 15 years of being a stellar corporate citizen and management consultant, Joanne decided to get a life. 12 years on, three books, keynotes, awards she is now Anna, Founder of Life Off the Ladder and Booth Aster, the contemporary artist. In her words ‘Joanne is the persona I put on for corporate life, now I enjoy living as me.’ Off the ladder, life is about integration. As Anna, she helps women (and men) who are ready to the move from ‘ladder’ to life. As Booth, she explores transitions and transformations vibrantly through visual media and performance installation art. There is always more life possible. It simply takes transformation. This is the process of Life Off the Ladder. Joanne: I bring structure to transformation that comes from being as project mentor for successful strategic change through the people, processes and performance of change. I did the yards: BEc/LLB, Grad Dip Finance & Investment, MSc in Consulting & Coaching for Change jointly run by HÉC Paris and Saïd Oxford. Corporate Clients include: IBM, Novartis, EY, Bank Julius Bäer, HKJC, P&G. At Executive Lifestyle, I as Anna share the real journey of life off the ladder.

Am I on a ladder? It’s a Monday. I do my ‘am I on a ladder?’ test. I had to develop a ladder test because I found that some are obvious. Others are not.
