Group Coaching in Japan
A group/team experience in Iwate prefecture
What this is:
This is a curated C-level group or Executive team experience for up to 10 senior professionals. It is designed as a protected container to reconnect with self, leverage group dynamics, and tap collective creativity away from operational noise and urgent business demands.
We draw on the simplicity of everyday Japanese life and creativity-based methods (‘sōzō-sei no tenkai’) to help you see your context, your team and your leadership with fresh eyes.
Location & setting:
We begin with a welcome evening in Morioka (one night). The following day we transfer together by shuttle bus or train to Appi, adjacent to the Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
The main program is spread across five days and will include one day at Myoto-ji in Kitakami, a Zen Buddhist temple held by my family’s heritage.
What to expect:
- Deepening self-awareness and exploring group dynamics
- Entering a safe, well-contained space for real conversation
- Working on your own leadership/team cases and using the group for reflection
- Learning creative and reflective practices you can take back to your context
Indicative format:
- Preparation: leadership dialogue, individual pre-work, self-assessment
- Day 1 (Morioka): arrival and welcome
- Day 2 to Day 5 in Appi and at Myoto-ji: guided group/team programme
- Follow-up dialogue: virtual session with the group/team
