I’m pleased to announce that our ‘Coaches in Japan’ web site is now live.
The idea of having a place in cyberspace for Japan-based coaches has been bouncing around my cranium for a while.
It probably would have stayed in neural orbit but for the positive effects of meeting up and talking with other coaches here. (You can read more of the background in this post about ICA Coaches in Japan.)
The next steps for this project’ are:
- Get more Japan-based, ICA-trained coaches on board.
- Add a stream of articles based around a ‘coaching in Japan’ theme.
- Start spreading the word.
- Enjoy a celebration dinner. (Coaches love celebrating!)
As you might imagine, there’s a very large and vibrant Japanese coaching environment, in what is still the World’s second-largest economy.
However, we’re not trying to compete with the native Japanese coaching world.
Instead, our focus is on serving people interested in working with ICA-trained coaches who have had experience of living and working in this wonderful country.
In many cases these coaches are likely to be foreigners in Japan – though we do have at least one Japanese ICA student who has attended our events. The more, the merrier!
Finally, the following coaches deserve special mention for stepping up to the plate and helping get the site from idea to launch pad:
Business Coaching: Chaima Ben Hassine Bassem
Transition Coaching: Jacinta Hin
Leadership & Transition Coaching: Faiza Ikeda
Self-Esteem Coaching: Liv Miyagawa
If you have any suggestions for what you’d like to see from this new coaching site please leave a comment to this post or visit the ‘Coaches in Japan contact’ page.
