Women in Leadership
Elevating Women’s Leadership Development to the Next Level
A hands-on program that challenges status quo conventions and elevates individuals and organizations to compete equally and successfully on the global stage.
With their diverse perspectives and cognitive strengths, women leaders unlock fresh solutions and drive bold thinking across industries, fueling innovation. Yet in Japan, that potential remains largely untapped. Ranked 118th out of 146th in the Global Gender Gap Index, and with women occupying only around 15% of executive roles, Japan lags far behind the G7 benchmark of 30% or more. The gap isn’t just a statistic—it’s a missed opportunity to shape a more dynamic, inclusive future.

Through meeting a diverse group of women leaders, I realized that leaders sometimes need to inspire others even if it means stepping slightly outside their natural selves. This had a profound impact on how I think about the kind of leader I want to become.
