I’ve spent over two decades helping leaders transform their results while developing their humanity in the face of inevitable change. During that same period, I’ve been driving my own personal evolution while living with a (supposedly) terminal illness and losing my home in a wildfire. Transforming life’s struggles into growth and effective action pervades my professional and personal path.

As Founder of the Executive Mind Leadership Institute as well as Associate Professor of Practice at the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management, I have put human growth strategies into real-world practice years before the popularity of “mindful leadership”.

Confirmation came from being voted ‘Faculty of the Year’ 8 times by students. Further, 27 people, 13 of them former students, came forward as organ donors when I needed life saving surgery.

My work helps leaders first vitalize themselves who then vitalize the environments around them. As they put aliveness at the center of their lives, they become sources of transformative energy to their teams, organizations, families and communities. Vital leaders change the world.

Global reach and connection is important to me. As co-founder of Transform LLC and partner to ETIC. in Tokyo, my work has an enthusiastic following in Japan. As a founding faculty member of the global InnerMBA program, I work with individuals who want to develop inner skills for their professional and personal growth. I’ve also lectured worldwide, including Scandinavia, Great Britain, Australia, and Latin America.

My life is a dialogue between California and Japan. As the great-grandson of a Sumo wrestler, Japan is a core part of who I am. However, my family is my proudest accomplishment. We enjoy tending to a chatty housecat and will happily drive across town for great Chinese dumplings.
