About

Dr Josh Plaskoff, affectionately known as Dr. J., considers himself a lifelong student of everything, from learning itself to making chocolate truffles. For over thirty years, he has committed his career to transforming multinational for-profit corporations, government agencies and non-profits to healthy and high productive workplaces.

The son of an actor, he loves to watch movies, imitate others, quote Monty Python, and take leadership lessons from Shakespeare (mostly what not to do).
