What We Share
The Art of Co-Creation
The Expertise
I bring conceptual clarity to the intersections of democracy, diversity, social capital, and psychological safety and how to drive sustainable innovation and competitive edge. My goal is to empower and guide your organization in co-creating practices of deep trust and solidarity of purpose so as to unleash the full potential of radical individual creativity.
With 20 years of international research, policy expertise, and intercultural experience living in English, Japanese and French, for me, diversity is a daily practice. I will share new paradigms and policy gains that build inclusive and innovative organizations. I equip leaders working in global/domestic corporations, think tanks, governments, universities, and/or NGOs/NPOs into the art of inclusive leadership and sustainable innovation.
