As an ICF Associate Certified Coach, Points of You® Master, and ORSC® Practitioner, Jennifer coaches individuals and corporate groups around themes of Ikigai ( a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living) and Inclusion. She loves revealing secret selves and limiting beliefs and then working with clients to create ways to integrate that awareness into action.
With over 20 years in Japan as both a corporate leader and an entrepreneur whilst raising a family, Jennifer works from a belief that anything is possible and creates a brave space for clients to explore new perspectives and approaches. She is also the host of the podcast “Ikigai with Jennifer Shinkai” and has illustrated two children’s books.
Jennifer’s clients are mid to senior leaders across a variety of industries. As one leader said ”Jennifer employed a wide variety of different frameworks and examples that were very helpful in our coaching sessions. Using those, she brought thought provoking and insightful custom approaches to each of the topics we discussed. I was able to significantly broaden my perspective as a result.”
