Nina Rung Hoch

Greetings, my name is Nina Rung Hoch. My expertise: Board member/Chairman, e-learning and teaching, guiding start-ups from conception to exit.

---

Nina Rung Hoch is known for achieving results, global team leadership, and her expertise in E-learning and Ed-Tech. Nina:"In my experience you get the best results if you lead through involvement and co-creation. Strong leaders develop leaders, weak leaders create followers. Complex problems require thoughtful analysis and often a team approach. First identify the strategic direction, define the contextual situation and key critical challenges and develop stakeholder consensus. Then execute, execute, execute. I have had the opportunity to travel to 41 countries and have worked in organizations with both an international and global scope. That said, I have found people are much the same worldwide, on location or in the cloud, which makes global leadership less of the feat it appears to be. Basic rules apply such as seek to understand, then to be understood, share authority based on competency, and show respect both through your words and especially through your actions. My passions are leadership, lifelong learning, and virtual education. The rate of learning as an individual or as a nation has to surpass the rate of change. It never was about "survival of the fittest", adaptation was, and still is, the key. The only change.....is the rate of change."
