Women in Finance Podcast: Why Joanna James believes in visualising and emotionalising success



Ahead of the Women in Finance Summit and Awards 2023, we’re catching up with some of the leading women in the financial services space.
Joanna James is an advocate for constant reinvention and resilience, having adapted to change over her career in the finance space herself.
Having worked in the lending space for more than 20 years – including as the general manager of non-bank lender Mortgage Ezy – she now helps support women in building successful businesses through Artemis Space, a women’s community group delivered by the Finance Brokers Association of Australia.
In this episode, Annie Kane sits down with Ms James to find out:
- Why success is subjective.
- The power of visualisation, emotionalisation and manifestation.
- Why she believes the finance industry is a great industry for women.
And much more!
