Lead with Kokoro Book Launch
About
What legacy will you leave behind?You can have the titles. You can have the results. You can lead teams, navigate complex transformations and build a successful career, but still find yourself asking: Where am I actually going?
Join us for the launch of Lead with Kokoro by Cherry Ward, a powerful new leadership book that invites leaders to stop relying on rigid corporate maps and start developing an internal compass.
After twenty years in leadership roles and global assignments, Cherry Ward found herself unable to answer the question, “What legacy will you leave behind?” The experience, achievements and results were there, but the direction wasn't.
Lead with Kokoro is the compass she created in response.
Drawing on eight Japanese philosophies, Ikigai, Ma, Shoshin, Wabi-sabi, Kintsugi, Wa, Kaizen, and the integrating practice of Keiko, Cherry introduces the Kokoro no Michi Compass, a practical navigation system for leaders, teams and organisations.
Unlike leadership models that are used once and forgotten, this compass is designed to be returned to whenever you face change, transition, uncertainty or the next big challenge.
It is:
✨ Repeatable - a framework you can return to again and again.
✨ Scalable - principles that begin with personal leadership can grow into tools for teams and organisational culture.
✨ Authentic - ancient Japanese wisdom thoughtfully translated for today's leadership challenges.
As Dr Aya Matsuyama writes in the foreword:
“Leaders do not require heavier manuals or more inflexible doctrines. They require an internal compass. Cherry Ward's Lead with Kokoro is precisely that compass.”
The world doesn't need more rigid leadership formulas.
It needs more wayfinders.
