Career Counseling — Navigating a Challenging Relationship with a Manager
Client: Female professional in her 40s, Kanagawa (Career Counseling)
I reached out for support when I was struggling in my relationship with my (non-Japanese) manager.
Although we discussed the situation in a single session, the conversation helped me recognize how I was interpreting the dynamics and how I could engage with my manager more constructively.
As a result, my relationship with my manager improved significantly, and the stress I had been carrying disappeared.
I am truly glad I chose to consult Kazuko for career counseling.
Coaching at a Career Crossroads
Client: Female professional in her 30s, Tokyo (Coaching)
I received coaching during a period when my position within the company had become difficult, and I was seriously considering changing jobs.
Through Kazuko’s coaching, I regained my confidence and gained clarity about the direction I wanted to pursue.
I am relieved that I did not rush into resigning.
Today, I am leading a team and find my work far more meaningful and fulfilling than before.
Executive Advisory Support in a Highly Complex Situation
Client: Business Owner / CEO, Tokyo, 60s
There were matters I could not even discuss with my family, yet I found myself able to speak openly with Kazuko — which surprised me.
I believe this was because she truly understood the complex realities within organizations and the pressures unique to business owners.As an executive, it is rare to find someone you can genuinely trust and speak with candidly.
Kazuko’s extensive experience in supporting executives made a significant difference, and I continue to rely on her as a trusted external thinking partner.
