“Right from the beginning, I felt a flow in our discussion which brought out some really insightful discoveries for me. I believe this has very much to do with Makiko’s exceptional listening skills, plus her command of the coaching lingo, to the point that on several occasions it felt like she was plucking imagery directly from my mind. She humbly calls it “intuition”, but for me it was akin to ESP. That to me is her greatest strength in this discipline. More importantly, that kind of engagement facilitated us to delve deeply into the topics which we had set out to explore. The insight from our session was indeed very refreshing. Makiko applied a lot of visualization to encapsulate the essence of our discoveries, which is extremely helpful for getting at the heart of the issue and retaining the clarity for further action.”
