An excellent teacher who really cares about his students...
Arif took time with everyone and helped them with their specific issues with great detail. He has definitely affected my future in a very positive manner. He is an asset and has the ability to really affect student lives.
This course is the best one I took!!!
The reason is because I could gain self-confidence and learn how to be a good human by self-awareness and self acceptance. I think these kind of things should be learned by everyone to live a healthy life and to grow as a human and as a leader. Thanks to this class, I learned how to approach myself and grow.

Developing new habits and skills
There are three stages which follow a structured development path moving you along the transformation milestones using recorded videos, coaching tools, journaling prompts, and self-reflection exercises. You choose the learning method that works best for you.
A new topic is introduced in the Academy every few weeks that you can work with at your own pace. As you progress through the modules, you can also share/discuss with other Community members for deeper understanding. I am very active in the community and guide you if/when you need help.
Every month there is a group coaching call where we explore a topic in the success path and learn how to embody it as a habit/behavior. The topic introduced is typically practiced during the call in group break-out sessions.
The learnings in the call are further strengthened via a curated selection of implementation challenges, somatic exercises, meditations, journal writing, online training and/or community discussion.
The community offers support and accountability to allow safe experimentation and shifting into the growth zone.
Increase self-awareness & Presence to understand and connect to the deepest part of yourself

Hi. I'm Arif.
My mission is to develop purpose-driven individuals who use their authenticity, empathy, and genuine concern to help others.
In this membership, I am going to help you develop the habits that you need to lead yourself along your unique success journey so that you can experience and live the life and career you are really after.
I am an executive coach and also a Professor of Leadership at KansaiGaidai University in Osaka, Japan. I am the recipient of the President’s Award for Outstanding Teaching (Best Professor) and my "Managing Yourself for Career Success" class is a foundation class required for all new students in the Department of Global Engagement.
Prior to teaching and starting an executive coaching company, I was the Global CFO and Corporate Sr. Vice President for Benesse Holdings Inc., a USD 5B public Japanese company covering approx. 40 group companies.
Over the course of my career, I was promoted many times and moved across industries and job functions. I held financial leadership positions at Ford and Delphi (Automotive), Avon (Cosmetics/Direct Selling), Becton Dickinson (Medical Equipment), and at McCann Worldgroup (Advertising). I have also served as a Board member in over 15 public and private companies across Japan, China, and the United States.
I want to share all my lessons learned about life and career management and help you share your unique voice and gift to be of service to others.
See you on the inside....
