seminar audience

Why are global leaders increasingly turning their attention to Japan today?

Join us for an exclusive in-person seminar led by global educator and business leader Tomoya Nakamura, and find out how Japanese leadership principles can help European leaders rethink strategy, sustainability, and long-term success.

From the future of capitalism to leadership in the age of AI, this session offers new perspectives on challenges that conventional approaches can no longer fully address. It highlights how people and organizations can create lasting, meaningful value in a rapidly changing world.

In this event, you will:

  • Learn how Japanese long-term thinking shapes better decisions
  • Challenge your own assumptions through a different cultural lens
  • Discover kokorozashi: a values-driven personal mission that shapes leadership and decisions
  • Explore leadership approaches from Japan in the age of AI
  • Understand how Japanese companies build lasting value over time
  • Connect with other leaders in a relaxed setting

This event also marks the launch of GLOBIS’s Visionary Leadership Program (VLP) in Europe. For those interested, we will briefly introduce the program and how it connects to the ideas explored in the session.

The VLP is GLOBIS’s flagship executive education program designed for senior leaders who seek to develop strategic judgment, lead with a personal mission, and gain fresh perspectives from Japan.

Who should join

  • Professionals seeking to lead with authenticity and purpose
  • Managers aiming to build trust and long-term engagement
  • HR and L&D professionals involved in leadership and talent development
  • Individuals interested in Japanese approaches to sustainable leadership

Following the session, you will have the opportunity to connect with fellow leaders, exchange perspectives, and continue the conversation in an informal networking setting.
