Renaissance Samurai | Bilingual Japanologist | World Class Speaking Coach | Professor of Japanese Liberal Arts | Professional Calligrapher | TEDx Speaker | Television and Radio Commentator | Aikido 8th-dan | Shodo 10th-dan
► WHAT I DO: I help Executives, Entrepreneurs, and Artists draw on the Wisdom and Disciplines of Samurai Culture applied in a contemporary context… WITHOUT the barriers of language, time, accessibility, guidance, or gender.
► HOW I DO IT: I provide experiences, virtual events, lecture-demonstrations, and individual coaching online applying Samurai Wisdom to business, drawing on nearly 50 years mastering Samurai Arts, and close association with Masters of Zen and Japanese Culture.
► WHY IT WORKS: My long journey can lead to your short path moving from Mystery to Mastery. It is commonly assumed that years of deep practice are required to master an art or craft. However, there is a way to accelerate learning and enhance performance if you have a good coach and focus on the RIGHT things.

Learn Samurai Secrets for Leadership through Presence of Mind.
The Samurai practiced posture with presence, centred and relaxed, balanced in thought and action, demonstrating mastery of mind and body, and embodiment of their virtues. This was cultivated through martial arts, tea ceremony, and calligraphy. These can be emulated through wisdom stories and simple exercises, which in fact are still practiced by many people in Japanese society.
