Our Company
Vision:
Create team of leaders with value of diversities.
Wise Leadership, LLC will help you to develop your own signature presence and strong leadership style to obtain success and satisfaction in your life and community.
About the name, Wise Leadership:
I believe wisdom and leadership are the most important characteristics to enable success.
According to the American psychologist Dr. Robert J Sternberg, intelligence can be categorized into three parts:
- Analytical Intelligence (solving academic-type problems)
- Creative Intelligence (handling new and unusual situations)
- Practical intelligence (adapting to everyday life)
Academic intelligence does not solve everything – not all “straight-A” students are guaranteed to be great employees. Nor does creative intelligence fit every need – creativity has to fit within the workplace’s limitations. Practical intelligence is not enough without knowledge and creativity to leverage for results.
In today’s workplaces, individuals are expected to think for themselves, to process data and analyze information by drawing on their own existing knowledge and skills, and to apply this in action for the desired results. Wise Leadership’s work is to support individuals in building the power of their own signature presence and the wisdom to handle any situation well.
Truly effective leaders to not find it necessary to demonstrate their performance (“doing”) to assert their position. They lead with their strong presence (“being”) to inspire others.
About Wise Leadership’s Logo: 
The design is based in the style of Kamon (Japanese family emblem). Ageha-cho, the butterfly, is a well-known emblem of the Heike warrior. It has personal significance for me because it is also my family emblem.
I picture a butterfly when I think about my ideal leader’s “Signature Presence.” A butterfly has a gracious floating movement, never disturbing others with a buzzing sound. Instead, its elegance attracts others’ attention. It has the strength to fly high and far, to exactly where it needs to be, where it lands softly.
Finally, butterflies begin their lives as caterpillars, construct a chrysalis in which to change, and emerge transformed into a beautiful being. So this logo also represents the meaningful power of transformation.
