Joni Swedlund creates opportunities for personal breakthroughs for leaders using neuroscience, pragmatic and intuitive leadership practices, and proprietary tools. By focusing on what is happening inside our minds and bodies, she helps clients drive outward results. Joni’s workshops are highly interactive, results-focused, and always include elements of fun.
Joni is known for leadership, resiliency, transformation, and growth. She has over 27 years of leadership experience in global business and management consulting including 18 years as a Deloitte Consulting partner serving financial services clients in technology. Joni has small town values, with big world dreams and experience. She started her career in Tokyo and eventually led the Asia Pacific JPMorgan Chase merger integration as an expat for Deloitte in Tokyo. She grew Deloitte’s federal financial services practice from an idea to bring in over $1 billion in net services revenue in 10 years. She started her own business, the Inner Rock Group, to inspire, empower, and elevate women, historically marginalized individuals, and STEM individuals to step into their leadership. She still loves the men and realized that not all diversity can be seen and pivoted to expand her business to focus on inclusive leadership for all.
Joni specializes in creating a safe space where she is unafraid to get vulnerable and share her stories and wisdom. She engages the participants in novel ways using experiential techniques to incorporate learning into muscle memory. Joni is a mom of two teenagers – an aspiring film director/editor who loves all things Disney and a non-binary kid who rocks hot pink hair, and a white golden retriever who doesn’t retrieve. In her free time, she channels her inner Kristi Yamaguchi at the ice rink while wearing wrist guards. She also plays the guitar badly and is seriously considering switching to the cello.
Some highlights of Joni’s accomplishments include:
· Consulting Magazine’s Achievement Award recipient for Women Leaders in Consulting - Client Service Award
· Interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, American Banker, and Federal News Network
