Testimonials
Testimonials: Executive Coaching
Tsunemichi Mukai
Executive Officer
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines
The coaching helped me to realize many things. This awareness is due to the fact that the coach was a mirror that reflected me, something I could not have realized on my own.
When I decided to receive coaching, I was in a situation where I was not able to fully perform the tasks required by the organization, and I was looking for relief. I was able to overcome this situation by receiving advice on how to acquire the knowledge, education, and skills that I lacked. A coach is a mirror of oneself, but it is up to the individual to see his or her own reflection and notice what he or she sees in it.
Shunsuke Saito
Managing Partner
Hotta Liesenberg Saito LLP
I believe that the effectiveness of coaching depends greatly on the motivation of the coachee. If you take it seriously, I believe it will be effective.
The first coaching session was a group coaching session to promote unity of the new management group at the recommendation of the former managing partner. After that, I received individual coaching for myself to help me manage the company. When I started receiving coaching I was very skeptical about its effectiveness. I didn't change much during the coaching, but after a few years I began to realize the benefits of coaching. If I had not received coaching, I feel that my company management would be very different from what it is today.
Since I realized this, I have been receiving coaching on a regular basis every year to put my company management policy together and put it into action. Whenever I am in doubt, I refer back to the past coaching logs. It has been more than 10 years since my first coaching session, but the coaching sessions still provide me with fresh ideas.
Mr. H.K
General Manager

As a senior executive of an operating company, when I think about my own career and the future development of the company, I often get stuck in my own thoughts or go in circles by myself. The executive coaching helped me to organize my thoughts, and by recording them in a form, I was able to look back later and correct my trajectory.
Although I do not remember the specific details of each coaching session in detail, I was able to summarize my thoughts on an A3 sheet, which depicted my vision for the next 5 to 10 years, as well as the future growth and development of the company. By summarizing my thoughts to some extent, I think I was able to be aware of my axis without wavering when there were changes from there.
Testimonials: Coaching Skill Training
T.M.
General Manager
IT Industry
By understanding the "coaching mindset" and applying it to management, I felt a change in the motivation and initiative of my subordinates.
Before attending the coaching training, my supervisor was focused on solving problems together with subordinates in order for them to take the initiative, but after incorporating the "coaching skills" learned in the training into my own management, I felt the need to change as a supervisor myself. He is now applying "coaching skills (coaching-style management)" in his work.
6 lectures: Lecture and short role-plays by the instructor, and role-plays by pairs of participants (total of 10 sessions: pair change in the first half and second half). 19 sessions including 1 interim debriefing and 2 final debriefing sessions. Participants were paired with trainees from different industries, and through the role-plays learned about the difficulties and importance of understanding what the other person is saying and explaining what you want to say in an easy-to-understand manner. Although the training was conducted during the busy project period, the participants felt that they were able to develop their skills while trying out their skills in actual work situations by handling on-site issues as topics for role-plays.

In addition to the fundamental skills of coaching, through role-playing, I was able to easily replace my own position, and I am less likely to get caught up in my own thinking.
First, we learned basic coaching concepts and skills in the classroom, such as the idea that all answers lie within the individual, the so-called "power of listening," and that there are various ways of listening. This was very beneficial.
In many cases, people tend to push their own ideas or, if not so much push their ideas, speak one-sidedly only what they want to say and pay no attention to how the other person feels or what the other person thinks. WV's training program is unique in that it is a unique training program that allows participants to learn through role-plays and other activities.
