Huijin Kong

Huijin, Principal of LinHart Group, works with CEOs, future CEOs, and business owners one-on-one on their most difficult professional and personal issues, often during leadership transitions. She is a driving force behind LinHart Group’s programs for leaders looking to reach the apex of success, satisfaction, and self-actualization, through her unique eye and ability to attract in-service C-executives to serve as faculty, vision for lifelong development and knack for deep learning methodologies.

Her fervent belief that everyone has a leader inside of them motivates her to mentor many people, create learning environments where people discover the leader in themselves, and build communities among people who are on this type of development journeys.
