Title: How and Why Global Business Leaders Appreciate the Wisdom of Ikebana

Presenter: Mayuka Yamazaki

Mayuka Yamazaki is ikebana artist and founder of IKERU, which brings
the wisdom of ikebana to business and leadership development. She also

Prior to devoting herself to IKERU, Mayuka worked at Harvard Business

Prior to that, Mayuka worked as a management consultant at McKinsey &

and with a Master of Science in Foreign Service (academic excellence)

Abstract : 

For a long time, ikebana, which I had practiced as something deeply
personal and private, and business, where I had built my career, were
two completely separate worlds. However, while I was working at
Harvard Business School (called “the capitol of the Capitalism), I
started to see some changes in management studies and leadership
education and increasingly more overlaps between these two worlds,
which led me to found IKERU to bring the wisdom of ikebana to business
and leadership development in 2017. Since then, I have offered
workshops, which I designed based on my long-term experience in
leadership education, to leaders and managers in business, education
and non-profit sector as well as lessons to professionals, artists and
entrepreneurs in their 20s to 50s. In this talk, I would like to share
how the wisdom of ikebana can be applied to today’s business and

leadership education.

Welcome: Dr Osamu Inoue - President of ISIR, Professor - Kyoto Saga Art College.

MC: Shoan Lo - Secretary of ISIR, Project Manager of Wa Melbourne Ikebana Festival, Associate Director of Ikebana Gallery Award & Ikebana Dojo.
