Philosophy: Heart Crafted Coaching
Heart
More than just a "passion," empowering others towards transformative growth is Coach Kubo's life-long devotion. He listens for your true voice and invites your story to surface without judgment. His presence is calm, compassionate, and shaped by decades of guiding others through tough transitions toward joyful achievements. (心 kokoro means heart, the centre of one's being).
Crafted
Japanese hand craftsmen don’t simply go to work— they devote their lives to perfecting their craft. In the same way, Coach Kubo has spent over 35 years refining his coaching style, including 25 years building highly effective teams in Japan, specialising in life transitions, leadership, and pastoral supervision. Coaching isn’t just what he does, it's a lifestyle of what he’s called to be.
Coaching
Coaching sessions offer a relaxed, confidential space to reflect and uncover what may be hindering your forward progress. You can expect deep listening, insightful questions, and gentle challenge. Your coach will not lead, advise, or counsel, but will work alongside you in partnership. Focused questions open new perspectives, helping you navigate life and take empowered steps toward the success you were uniquely designed for.
When we help ourselves, we find moments of happiness.
When we help others, we find lasting fulfilment
~ Simon Sinek
