I am a certified executive coach with a passion for developing people. I specialise in helping executives negotiate the challenges that arise in cross-cultural environments between the West and East.
I have a proven track record of achieving significant results with leaders, founders and executives from a wide range of industries. Working together, I can help you to unlock your potential by achieving enhanced clarity and perspective. Having personally founded and run successful companies in both China and the UK, I am particularly well-qualified to help others make a similar East to West transition.
My extensive background also means I understand the demands of performing effectively at a senior level. To get to know each other better, I always offer a free one-hour introductory session to ensure that we are the right fit.
Let me help you to reach your full potential.
In this episode, James Kong, a 79th-generation descendant of Confucius, shares his extraordinary journey growing up in London while carrying a centuries-old legacy. From balancing school life in the UK with family rituals in Qufu, to realizing that Confucianism is not about what to think, but how to think, James reveals how he turned tradition into a living philosophy. He discusses the real meaning behind ancestral ceremonies, the art of respectful disagreement, and how Confucian values like self-discipline, empathy, and integrity can shape leadership, entrepreneurship, and even football coaching. James also introduces Kong Academy — a new program that brings Confucian principles into modern education, helping students and professionals build confidence, purpose, and cross-cultural understanding. Whether you’re interested in culture, leadership, or personal growth, this conversation shows how ancient wisdom can stay deeply relevant in today’s global world.

Jojo helped me to figure out where my career will be! Having worked for Bosch for more than 20 years, I felt like I needed to have a change in my career. Therefore, we mapped out what my perfect day would be, and the answer appeared so clearly!
Jojo is well equipped to help executives and legal professionals to succeed in a cross-cultural environment. She is fluent in English and Chinese, and she understands western and Chinese culture. I highly recommend using her, particularly in professional service firms!
I have been working with Jojo for a few years. I highly recommend her as an Executive Coach for your team. Her unique background allows her to communicate with our Chinese staff extremely easily, but she also works seamlessly with our German colleagues.
Jojo is a good listener - she understands what I am saying and is happy to let me talk through issues, concerns and objectives without being overly didactic about it. She summarises well and seems to understand my specific set of circumstances. I am so happy to have met Jojo and I am more than willing to recommend her to anyone else who is seeking to bring a bit of clarity to their lives.
