Jo Malone, Director of Education - Persona Life Skills

Jo provides thought leadership in the global education space and leads our Life Skills & Wellbeing Community of Practice.

“My passion is supporting teachers and students in developing competencies that bolster relationships and improve communication. The increased awareness of self and others impacts positively on student wellbeing, and I’m sure you will agree these life skills are of the utmost importance right now.”
