Aloha! I’m Kevin – talent architect in the twin areas of emotional and cultural intelligence. With the motto, Crafting Breakthroughs, I help people understand both themselves and others to map pathways forward.
About Me
I was born and raised in Honolulu, HI where I was exposed to an array of cultures, namely East and Southeast Asian as well as Polynesian. These experiences stimulated my thinking about people and cultures, which inspired me to study abroad in Mainland China and pursue early work experiences in Taiwan. I later earned master’s degrees in Asia-Pacific Studies and Business Administration as well as a Ph.D. in International Management. After completing my doctorate, I spent 3 years teaching at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. For the last 10 years, I’ve been a management professor at the University of San Francisco School of Management.
My rich teaching experience couples with my deep understanding of human behavior to position me as a leadership coach. People who seek me as a coach are usually looking for ways to be more effective at work. They often find the insights I offer to be valuable and applicable to life more broadly. While I particularly enjoy conversations with people who are contemplating career transitions or preparing for promotions, my skills can be applied to work with people at all career stages as well as across industries and sectors.
Coaching Approach & Areas
Working with me should feel natural and refreshing. I ask simple questions and listen actively with empathy. We explore areas as you feel comfortable through conversations that help you understand yourself. Each conversation should contribute to personal growth and offer you insights that you can use immediately.
I hope to help people see the many ways in which we differ (e.g., natural talents, work styles, learning styles, personality, values, cultural norms) and can still work together effectively. We’ll progress at your pace pursuing what is of interest to you. Coaching conversations we could have include, but are not limited to:
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Leadership self-development
Leading effectively in teams
Facilitating meetings
Mental health and wellness
Cultural Intelligence (CQ)
Cultivating your natural talents
Career transitions or promotions
Mindfulness and self-care
Conflict management
Certifications
I am certified to interpret results for scientifically valid self-assessments in:
Each of these tools can help you arrive at a deeper understanding of who you are. Your authentic self is waiting to be discovered so you can have more effective interpersonal interactions and achieve better results in life. I would love to help you become the best version of YOU!
Let’s Work Together
