WORK
Get the Best out of You and your Teams
Doing the things that really matter. That’s what I help leaders and teams figure out and execute with precision.
耳を傾けて meaning “listen carefully” (tattooed above my heart) is how I work - listening first, empathise and intuit, then create. I use what works best, sometimes unorthodox tools. Looking for opportunity in conflict and building long-term relationships. Combining performance/organisational psychology with solid commercial experience.
