“To me, coaching is about bringing out the best that is already within you!  Why not live your happiest, most joyful life, full of creativity and energy? Why not accomplish what is in your wildest dreams and heart? I believe that by providing the space and understanding for you to truly understand yourself and what you need to best thrive – that you will be able to drive your own transformation to accomplish what you most desire. It’s all about looking for and honoring where you shine and building on that!”

—— Sumi Hoshiko

Have you experienced wanting to start something that feels important but have found it difficult to make progress, or even begin?

Maybe you’ve been considering a transition in your life or weighing a big decision?

Perhaps there’s a project you’ve been meaning to start, or dreams that remain unfulfilled.

Have you felt hurried and overwhelmed, longing for more balance and ease in life?

Or perhaps you’re looking to make an internal shift, improving your relationship with others or even with yourself.

Wherever you are on your life journey, we all have moments where we want to bring more intentionality to our choices and invite more joy, happiness, and fulfillment into our lives and relationships.

Through our collaboration, I found a newfound empowerment that has profoundly enhanced my capacity to guide my C-suite clients. Sumi's unique approach helped me unlock shifts that transcend conventional boundaries.

Sumi’s coaching has been a catalyst for my growth, enabling me to serve with greater depth, authenticity, and purpose. It’s an experience that goes beyond mere coaching—it’s a journey of becoming the best version of myself."

My Coaching Philosophy

  • Taking action is a more powerful force for change than simply trying to feel better with the way things are or thinking about change! Taking even a small action towards a goal will start changes.

  • Change is a function of: 1) energy, 2) direction, and 3) specific planned steps. We need to find the energy (fuel), or the spark to start! Think of this as the motivation or “fire in the belly” – the “I WANT SOMETHING IN LIFE” feeling. The direction is identifying where one wants to go or what one wants.  Finding this is a source of ingredient #1, energy. Taking specific steps then are the building blocks of change, and feed the loop of generating additional energy! You’re on the road!

  • Einstein is often quoted as saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” No disrespect to Einstein, but it’s human nature that we have habits and established neural pathways that steer us into the same patterns. This does not make us insane, just human! We just need to recognize this and work with our nature, not against it.

  • Also contrary to traditional wisdom, you don’t always have to dive deep into your childhood or unearth all the reasons for barriers in order to make change. Just taking small but meaningful steps can get you on your way! Making progress on your important issues will actually help you gain strength and wisdom.
