Hi, my name is Yasu. Nice to meet you! Let me self-introduce. With 25+ years’ professional experience in branding, marketing communication, business innovation and leadership development, I customize my intervention while blending teaching, coaching and torching my clients for new business creation and organizational change. I am currently a founder / representative director of Tokyo-based innovation boutique firm since its establishment in 2016, leading projects both with international and domestic clients to generate creative business ideas while nurturing entrepreneurial and innovative talents whom I call “The Playful Ants” within the client team. I also have been working as a partner faculty of Globis School of Management since 2020, delivering customized executive education programs to approximately 500 business leaders and managers every year. Talking about my early career over 10 years, I worked at PwC (Consultant), Interbrand (Strategic Planner) and Saatchi & Saatchi (Planning Director). Then, I decided to go on to MBA program at Cornell University, NY, with my wife and a daughter. I majored in sustainable global enterprise immersion with focus on market creation strategies and creative design. After the graduation, I was unexpectedly offered the job to work within Cornell as an internal consultant. I took the offer and have been also working as Managing Director of Market Creation Strategies at the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise at the Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University, where I developed and supervised business innovation projects in Japan, US, India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Mozambique and Nigeria through creative and sustainable solutions for both international and Japanese clients. In my past projects, I experienced many successes, but honestly speaking, more failures even with the clients which had great resources. From my experiences, I realized what's truly important is not just to develop the great product idea and business plan, but also to develop the great talents and culture within the clients. That's how I decided to incorporate business coaching technique into my projects. I wanted to back up my practical business coaching with academic theory and knowledge, so I completed my Executive Master in Change program at INSEAD in 2019. After that, I have been working on my executive PhD program in organizational psychology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam since 2021 with my research theme in “Play in Organization.” My recent publication includes “Identity Playground in Organization: Encouraging intrapersonal heterogeneity while controlling interpersonal heterogeneity”, Academy of Management Proceedings, Vol. 2023. Also, I published my first book “The Playful Ants ‒ the Way of Work and Life of Boundary-Spanning Talents who Change the Society in Small and Playful Ways” (EB publishing) in December 2022. I believe the power of teaching (sharing new framework / knowledge), coaching (navigating autonomous action) and torching (motivating and encouraging people) and customize the solution mixing those approaches through dialogue with the clients. So, if you are interested in discussing how we can work together to make meaningful impacts for your organization, please feel free to reach out to me!

But for some of us, these things do not necessarily come naturally, and they are important skills that we need to fully develop as professionals and leaders. Whilst we can learn to become technically proficient, we can overlook the value of self-awareness, and how to relate better to others. Don't despair - there is a good reason why engineers and professionals are good at what they do - and thank goodness for those skills and attention to detail. What Tony has discovered is the importance of continued self development, particularly in the areas of relational skills, leadership skills, and team building. The journey to becoming a better leader, and the path to better understanding your own personality is important both for personal and professional growth.
