I’ve been writing about financial planning and market trends on Smart Money Asia since 2017. In 2021, I began offering personal finance coaching after a few readers reached out for support. To my surprise, it became one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.
Investing is a learning process. I have made many great investments. And I have also made some mistakes. There are always new lessons to learn.
One thing I have never regretted is investing in my own growth: learning how to coach, communicate, and lead at a higher level. That personal investment gave me clarity, purpose, and new ways to create value for others.
So, it was a natural progression for me to partner with Global Success Coaching® to offer powerful leadership programs and 1:1 executive coaching for both individuals and organisations.
- For Expat Leaders, I work alongside Cornelia Tsuha, who brings two decades of experience training, guiding, mentoring, and coaching global leaders across Asia and Europe.
- For Executive Coaching of Japanese leaders in Japan and global companies, I collaborate closely with Heiwa Tsuha, a bilingual executive coach, leadership trainer, and expert in helping leaders evolve with depth, powerful strategies, and cultural as well as generational awareness.
Over the past 20 years, Global Success Coaching® has supported thousands of professionals, leaders, and multinational companies worldwide — with a special focus on Asia (especially Japan) and Europe.
Here are just a few of the clients they have worked with over the years:
What do we mean by Expat Leaders?
✅ Expat Leaders are working abroad in Asia or with global teams, OR originally from Asia and working internationally
✅ Especially from/in: Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, or India
✅ They are driven, ambitious, willing to do what it takes to unlock their potential — and they care deeply about doing meaningful work
✅ They may be:
- Feeling stuck, stretched thin, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next step
- Already successful, but ready for deeper growth, alignment, and legacy-level impact
- Dreaming of becoming Expat Leaders — and want to do what it takes to get there
- On the high-potential list to be sent abroad, but feel unprepared or anxious
- Recently laid off, and don’t want to return home. They’re struggling to find a new role with similar or better pay to maintain their family’s life abroad
We offer four distinct coaching, training, and community experiences.
Whether you’re an Expat Leader, a Japanese Executive, or a Global Leader, these programs are designed to meet you where you are — and take you far beyond what you thought possible.
