Inspiring Minds, Empowering Journeys

Leadership, Personal Development and Identity: From Experience to Insight, talks that matter

Our approach

Navigating leadership, faith, identity, and personal development in today’s world comes with unique challenges. 

Through keynote speeches, panel discussions and tailored workshops, I create thought-provoking conversations that help attendees develop a deeper understanding of their leadership style, personal resilience, identity and faith. 

Drawing from my decade-long career in government and the third sector, my own journey of finding God and spirituality, and lessons learned from overcoming my personal challenges, I provide an open and supportive environment to help individuals and communities embrace their journey to become the best versions of themselves.

I’m Gen, born in Japan but raised in the Philippines, the UK and France in a multi-faith and multi-cultural household.

I have a colourful life: a polyglot of 5 languages, lived in 4 countries and currently blessed with a meaningful career across public safety, diplomacy, international development and social policy.

As a convert to Islam, an adult ‘Third Culture Kid’, and a volunteer for the Army Cadet Force and a bereavement charity, I am an advocate for all things mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

About me

Testimonials

  • Gen delivered a thoughtful and empathetic discussion on mental health and personal growth, offering space for reflection on identity and the individual challenges we face understanding ourselves. He encouraged the audience to invest in their well-being and embrace compassion and grace for themselves as well as others…especially to those who may exist in spaces where such things aren’t always encouraged. Gen spoke with warmth, honesty and humour.

  • Gen's seminar was very intriguing. It brought upon a lot of reflection and deep thoughts on the role we play in supporting others in their own personal development. I was definitely able to take many benefits from his talk and am implementing them as a result of Gen's own experiences and lessons learned.

  • There were so many things in the workshop that I hadn't considered when thinking about the experience of finding your true identity. I now feel equipped and confident to support people around me, whether it be my friends or colleagues!

  • The session was very insightful. It was valuable to hear the unique challenges converts face, and Gen was very patient and supportive whilst exploring the practical steps I could take as a colleague and friend to support converts. Looking forward to joining more sessions!
