・Your experience with Ikigai Authentic

・Your company’s D&I vision

An inclusive environment promotes creativity, better global citizens and empathy towards one another. As an educator it is important to truly get to know their students and what makes them special. By seeing the world through their lens we can have those crucial conversations respectfully with learning outcomes that expand well beyond the classroom.

・Your experience with Ikigai Authentic

I had the honor of hosting Yuta for a very timely discussion of “Why does #blacklivesmatter matter to Japan?”. The lesson was an exploration of social justice around world and its ties to social media. Because my class consists of International students it was important to create a safe learning environment. Through our talks and polls, students spoke very thoughtfully of their experiences. Yuta brought such great insight to his mission and it enabled the students to become more aware about their place in society especially during such a turbulent time and how it relates to the coursework and their next steps.

・Your company’s D&I vision

Diversity and inclusiveness are core to who we are and how we work.

・Your experience with Ikigai Authentic

Yuta is a true champion for change and trusted expert in the Diversity, Inclusion & Equity field. I truly value his international intelligence and how he is able to bridge between cultures to achieve the desired results in global projects. As his mentor of 7 years, I’m impressed how he quickly unlocked his leadership potential in the DI&E field, and made a successful transition to entrepreneurship.

Yuta Hasumi is both passionate and effective in his pursuit of diversity and inclusion. Passionate because he so obviously believes that better diversity and inclusion in the workplace will improve everyone’s working life.

Effective because he gives practical and usable advice to organisations on how to achieve greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

In a field that has more than its fair share of cliches and incomprehensible jargon, Yuta has unparalleled communication skills - audiences remember what he has to say. Whether in Japanese or in the varied English-speaking environments of the United States, Britain or Australia, which each require a different approach, he adjusts his style nimbly and with great effect, to deliver his messages.

Yuta doesn’t just roll out the same presentation for every client. He is a careful listener, who takes on feedback quickly and effectively.
