The Profile
Adrienne is originally from the UK, moved to Japan after a few years of working in London. Her move to Japan was shaped by the Japanese influence in her life as she was growing up back in the UK and curiosity got the better of her! She has since spent over 30 years in the learning & development space in Tokyo.
She started out working at a large English school on her arrival to Japan where she designed and delivered training programs to English instructors and launched a cultural counseling service to those new to living and working in Japan.
She then moved to corporate training where she executed training to a host of large global corporations in the greater Tokyo area. She specialized in women empowerment, leadership, cultural Intelligence, communication and coaching.
For the past 14 years she has been working in the learning and development arena for a major global consulting firm and specializes in areas such as cultural intelligence, global acumen, leadership, communication and DEI.
In her own company, Adrienne combines her life-long passion & expertise in training, facilitation & creativity to bring something unique & grounding.
In her final years working in corporate, with the explosion of AI accompanied by a sharp increase in speed and efficiency - she observed that there seemed to be less time for the “people”.
Everyone seemed constantly busy, always rushing and often stressed…there was never time to truly “press pause”. She noticed a need for people to have the time to return to themselves; to find their core…to reconnect to their unmistakably unique essence and operate from this authentic place.
In this space, she aspires to help those who want to “press pause” and reconnect with their authentic self through intimate workshop “experiences”. She also aspires to bring meaning in the form of original artwork on luxury scarves. This wearable art collection symbolizes phases in human transformation. Each scarf design can carry a symbol of who one is becoming. A powerful expression of who you are.
