There is a secret to mastering anything in life...
There is a simple yet powerful approach that I use in my entire life that helped me both professionally and personally to achieve what once seemed impossible. I apply this secret to everything I do—it has enabled me to acquire new skills, keep evolving, and reach the highest levels in my career, creativity and many personal interests. (see my video)
This secret is called SHU HA RI (守破離)—the Japanese Art of Mastery, originated from Japanese Way of Tea and Martial Arts.
For over 20 years, I have cultivated SHU HA RI in a business context—not just for my personal growth but as a transformative framework for organisations. I’ve applied it to assess strategies, drive international projects, lead M&A initiatives, foster innovation in joint ventures, and unite diverse teams across cultures.
I deliver SHU HA RI lectures & workshops complemented by my artwork, along with corporate training programs for clients globally, both virtually and in person, as well as for one-on-one session for individuals.
While SHU HA RI remains lesser-known among global leaders compared to concepts like Kanban and Kaizen, it is an equally powerful tool for mastering leadership, strategy, and organizational growth. I hope more leaders and professionals will embrace its transformative potential today.
