Helping leaders and teams get unstuck so they can move forward with confidence.

I cannot recommend Reina's coaching services highly enough! I reached out to her when I felt that a major change in my career trajectory was necessary, hoping to gain some insight into how I can better organize myself to transform ideation into action. Instead, I left our sessions with a holistic understanding of what truly motivates me professionally and, consequently, new-found clarity on how and where to focus my efforts.

Through Reina's guidance, I gained the confidence in myself to enact change, and am proud to say that I've successfully set the wheels in motion to start this new journey.

My leadership team and I had the pleasure of working with Reina on the Birkman model over the past months. Learning more about our individual behaviours and stress behaviours together has helped us to work more closely together and have a better sense of what we need from each other to be at our best, and how to interact more effectively when we are under stress. Thanks, Reina!

I was recently recruited for a senior position in an organisation and immediately found myself second-guessing my own ability and overwhelmed by imposter syndrome. Reina coached me to think about the reasons behind this and how to overcome them with practical solutions. By helping me unearth the answers that I had all along buried within me, we addressed my sense of inadequacy through exploring alternative perspectives with a strong focus on positive outcomes.

Reina played a crucial role in my post-MBA journey at WHU, particularly in providing strategic career coaching. Her insights and advice helped me clarify my goals and navigate the job market with confidence.

Reina's professionalism, combined with her ability to offer thoughtful, tailored guidance, made a significant impact on my career trajectory. I highly recommend Reina for her expertise and commitment.

I came to Reina because I was stuck. Felt like I couldn't leave my job, let alone find a job that I wanted to apply for. Through working with Reina I was able to discover me: my values, passion, and saboteurs. I worked with her to identify possible jobs that were aligned with my inner values and goals. On the week of our last session, I ended up signing a new work contract and a month later moved from Hamburg to Frankfurt. I got all the change I was looking for.

The Birkman coaching session, led by Reina Shishikura, for our school leadership team was a thoughtful and insightful experience. Reina's expertise with the Birkman Method provided us with an understanding of our leadership styles and areas for development. Reina's facilitation was professional and engaging, encouraging meaningful discussions and self-reflection. I would recommend her coaching services to any educational institution looking to support the professional development of their leadership team.

I've been going through a pretty big change in my career, a full-on pivot. While working with Reina she was able to help me get oriented back around my north star: my purpose for doing what it is I want to do. Whenever I came to our calls feeling stuck, Reina had a great way of using perspectives and metaphors to help tease out the root of my anxiety and then work through the possible solutions in a calmer, more centred way. She was an asset to have in my corner!

Reina is, without any doubt, a real expert in her disciplines of career advisory, coaching, and student affairs. I have experienced Reina as a sharp-minded and very supportive partner who never loses focus while incorporating the ‘big picture’ simultaneously. I see her analytical capabilities and emotional intelligence as extraordinary characteristics that make her a great mentor and coach.

My life before Reina seemed fine but she made me realize that there is a holistic way to prepare for challenges. These sessions seemed short, but the transformation she brought was phenomenal.
