Three ways to work together
Learning Design & Facilitation

Fellowships, cohorts, leadership programs, retreats, and group coaching, designed around how people actually grow — and aligned with your broader people strategy. Delivered directly, or built alongside your team. In English and Japanese.

Strategic Advisory

For when you need someone fluent on both sides of a divide: Japan and the US, the impact sector and the business world, the fundraiser and the funder.

Coaching

For the moment your old success formula stops working. One-on-one, identity-level work on career and life transitions. Engaged directly, or sponsored by your organization for a member of your team.
