Hi there, I’m Katheryn!
As a Leadership Coach who has worked with hundreds of leaders since 2016, I found that the key to successful career shifts for global professionals in Japan is a clear purpose, cultural insights, and community.
If even one of these is missing, professionals can feel lost or isolated.
I started Thrive Tokyo to offer coaching, programs on Leadership and Cross-cultural education, and community gatherings to help people with sustainable success.
