#85 Talking business building & creativity with Tania de Jong AM.

Tania De Jong AM is one of Australia’s leading Sopranos – no, not the gangster type – and also manages to run a variety of very cool businesses including an innovations workshop business, a talent agency and a charity that helps disadvantaged people find their voice.

In this fireside chat, Tania reveals:

• The importance of asking for things, instead of thinking “It could never be”.
• What keeps her focussed when running so many businesses.
• How she attracted Dr Edward de Bono to speak at her first creativity conference in 2010.
• Why she thinks more businesses don’t explore their creative side … and how they can.
• What role marketing plays in establishing and building her business portfolio.
• The importance of having a mentor to help you be successful in your business.

PLUS Tania has an ‘amazing’ treat for us right at the end.
