The flexible training solution for both Emerging Leaders and Expats new to Japan

Get your talent up to speed in their new challenge so they can shortcut their way to results-driven performance with confidence (even if you only need training for one person)

You’ve invested time and money in placing brilliant talent into key roles to lead your organization to success, and now you want them to perform as quickly and effectively as possible.

You want them to…

  • Navigate a new way of working and new perspectives with confidence

  • Have the situational leadership skills to understand others and lead them effectively

  • Level up their communication skills to bring out the best in their team

  • Influence people in a way that brings them on board and creates trust, motivation and accountability 

  • Resolve conflict amongst team members and create win-win solutions

And you want to help them from the moment they start

All you need is an easy-access, cost-effective approach to fast-track their way to success.

And we offer open enrollment Emerging Leader Training and Cross-cultural Education Training to ensure that your talent is equipped with skills that’ll make an impact.

Be sure to avoid this #1 mistake that companies make when organizing training (and what to do instead)


Too often I see companies waiting for the perfect time to gather as many individuals as possible, on the least disruptive date, to make a training “worth” their budget.

But this forces professionals who need training most to struggle until the training is available and puts them in a session environment with other participants who may be too new to the situation to add effective input. 

Plus, it forces trainers to design broad training content to serve a variety of needs, diluting the objectives they could help key talent perform at their peak.  

Effective training isn’t just about maximizing your budget…it’s about RELEVANCE and TIMING to get talent up to speed so they can start impacting your bottom line 

According to Harvard Business Review, X% of Leaders leave their companies within 18 months due to a lack of transitional support. 

Not only that, but the average time an expat is in Japan before they reach out to Thrive Tokyo for support is 3 years

Hi, I’m Katheryn, CEO of Thrive Tokyo,
Principal Facilitator & Professional Certified Coach,
plus your training ally…here’s why:


Since 2016 I’ve helped thousands of professionals through training, coaching, and community to confidently navigate life-changing career transitions - whether it’s stepping into new leadership roles and/or living and working in Japan for the first time and adjusting to the cultural challenges.

I’m passionate about equipping new talent to have a fast and impactful start because the fact is, if a leader isn’t supported in their transition, they typically leave after just 18 months.

My training approach is 100% practical, using role-play activities directly relevant to the exact ‘on the ground’, in-the-role scenarios that your new leaders will face, ensuring they are equipped with the skills they need to proactively respond and adapt to the most common challenges. This is the difference that helps them starting hitting the ground running and contributing value to the team and wider organization.  

Our approach is effective because at Thrive Tokyo, you don’t just get quality training, you get:  

  • Targeted content for a group of participants all sharing the same challenges at the same stage so they can gain relevant learnings they can start implementing as soon as they leave the training

  • Game-changing 1-Month of coaching support to put their learnings into action and gain accountability, especially if mentorship is unavailable in your organization

  • Training schedules that create effective learning experiences without losing a day of work.

  • Learn from a credentialed, experienced Executive Coach and Facilitator who brings a decade of experience to answer burning questions and share examples of success tactics from those who have succeeded in the same challenge.

All with flexibility around the exact timings your employees will benefit from the most (even if it’s just one individual who needs this support)
