About Akiko Oka, Managing Director

Akiko Oka is Managing Director of Équilibre and leads our leadership team workshops together with Philippe. She shapes the brand, events, books and apps that carry Équilibre's philosophy.

Before Équilibre, she spent a decade in the film industry coordinating casts and crews of up to a hundred people, where she learned how presence is built and how a single frame carries meaning. Like Philippe, she is an executive producer of Marshall Goldsmith's movie. She trained as an NLP Practitioner with Robert Dilts at NLP University in Santa Cruz, and in Tibetan Lojong meditation with Dr. Barry Kerzin.

As a Personal Branding Producer, she helps leaders create a visual statement of who they are.

What is Diamond Leadership?

Philippe's model of the invisible structure of leadership. At its core is your Inner Diamond, your strengths and talents. Around it: emotional balance (mental strength, openness, lightness), your leading spirit (motivation, mission, vision), the ability to fly around and see yourself from the outside, and your field of influence.

How does one-on-one coaching work?

You meet Philippe face-to-face in Tokyo or on Zoom. Each session builds on your strengths, and PhilBot helps you prepare between sessions. The first step is a 30-minute conversation: book a meeting.
