What My Clients Have Said …
“Kenji has been my coach for nearly a year, and working with him has been life-changing. I was not just unsure whether I would ever be able to fulfill my own potential, but whether I would ever be able to put away a load of laundry or finally respond to that email.
Enter Kenji.
He's personable, compassionate, funny, relatable, self-deprecating, and wise. He's a stellar listener and a stellar talker. He's remarkable at helping you find things in your life you want to improve, and helping you improve them -- without letting yourself slide or being hard on yourself.
He gives you tools. He gives you space. He problem-solves. He works with you as new, surprising challenges come up. He builds patterns, habits, and accountability mechanisms. He amps up your confidence. He's also a great spiritual advisor and a confidante. The guy is a gem. My life is so much better for having him in it, and I wish we could all have a Kenji around.

"[Kenji has] a gentle yet powerful way of helping me see the best in myself. Also, in the way that [Kenji has] helped me design simple structures in my life that help me be more focused, more effective and – most importantly – more fulfilled. From that, I’ve been able to grow our company 60 percent over the past two years (and we’ve been in business for 11 years), and I’ve achieved some pretty cool goals ranging from getting our family trust in legal order, to learning how to walk on my hands. I am grateful for [his] insights, powerful questions, tips, ideas and most importantly, how well [he] hold[s] up the mirror so I don’t fool myself for too long."

“I couldn't have asked for a better catalyst for positive change in my life than Kenji; engaging him has reaped countless benefits: I have shed old burdens caused by institutional religion, And I have discovered both my own divinity and my relationship to Mother Earth.”
The entire process has led to a markedly improved way of being, and of moving through life: in fundamentally life-changing ways I could barely have guessed would materialize when I started.
Throughout, Kenji has been a fount of kindness, and has demonstrated an uncanny knack of providing me with just the comment, and at just the right time.
And, though Kenji himself would say that it's me that had to show up to be open and available, he was a true partner and unerring guide, in the very essence of what I needed, and when, to improve; In this ongoing discovery process I have found the very foundation that has lead lead to my growth, and my continuing growth.
Contact this man. Now. Really.”
David Wilcock, Entrepreneur, Artist, Philanthropist, San Francisco, CA
“I feel more on top of everything and am much more productive in getting things done. What's more my clients are happier and I have different tools and techniques to use when I hit a wall.
Kenji's coaching helped me find creative ways to externalize, be more productive, and get myself out of being thrown off track. Ultimately I did what he suggested that I do: fire him. His goal is to get you out of coaching and learn to "fish" for yourself. Hire him. Stop screwing around.”

“A few years ago, I hired Kenji to help me tweak a few things in my life. Sometimes we're too close to the problem to see an objective solution, but Kenji's knowledge and training help him see through the forest and shine a spotlight on what's most important for his clients.
He was kind, considerate, understanding, empathetic, and -- above all -- keenly focused on talking me through some scenarios to provide solutions. The results were both instant gratification, as well a solid long-term advice. I highly recommend Coach Kenji for any life issues you may be having.”

"I've been working with Kenji and this is my experience:
1. He asks insightful questions that cause me to reflect and look at things from a different angle, and thus gain more information from so as to make more effective decisions.
2. I learned some simple but powerful approaches on time management, and on task prioritization and completion.
3. It's helpful to just talk to someone outside my usual sphere of relationships, and hear a neutral point of view.
4. He's committed to his craft/service -- learning from his own coaching practice and also from peers in his field. That's important to me.
5. Lastly, he has great energy. A nice relaxed and caring vibe about him."
