WHO AM I?
As a Japanese national with extensive exposure to Western cultures, my lifestyle blends Eastern and Western perspectives. While I feel responsible for my ageing parents, I value independence and personal boundaries. While avoiding simplistic dichotomies, I encourage self-expression and the prioritisation of our values.
My coaching is an evidence-based approach that was founded on my personal experience living and working in Japan & Sweden, as well as my long-term career in sustainability & corporate social responsibility, finding an optimal balance between a tree (a person) & a forest (an environment), and my theoretical and empirical background in applied cultural analysis (ethnology) “why we do the way we do” because of a tremendous pressure of culture on individuals.
