a conversation with Aya Yamanouchi

In turbulent times, do you want to be splashing around in the water in a panic, shouting for help, or do you want to hop onto your surfboard, ride the waves, and develop new muscles?

When Aya Yamanouchi started her career in her father’s fashion company, she realized that business can’t happen without people’s mind, motivation, and communication – and that sparked her passion for people development and coaching.

Now, as a learning and development specialist in the luxury sector, she’s devoted to helping her colleagues to develop resilience in the VUCA world – where we have more Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, especially during the Covid pandemic.

In our conversation in Episode 85 of the Sasuga! Podcast, you’ll hear 

  • The difference between French and Japanese women, and how you can be more appreciated in a global organization
  • How Aya overcame her tears and fears and started her career as a trainer
  • The five elements of resilience, so that you can learn to ride the waves and enjoy your perfect imperfection

Enjoy!
