I’m Helen
AWARD-WINNING BILINGUAL COACH, SPEAKER, WORKING MUM IN JAPAN
Originally from the UK, I’ve lived and worked in Japan for over 30 years.
At McKinsey, I managed 3 departments and was one of the few certified trainers in Asia coaching high-achieving consultants and clients in leadership and communication.
After establishing my own business more than a decade ago, I became passionate about helping women in Japan to succeed professionally without sacrificing their personal lives.
This came from my own painful experiences of burnout and seeing how other high-performing women suffered from constantly pushing themselves.
It’s natural to want to do excellent work and keep everyone happy, right? But it’s mottainai (a waste) if it costs you your health and happiness
I learned a better way: combining outstanding professional skills with selfcare as a success strategy.
And I’d love to share that with you…
