Meet Your Coach
Heather Dobbin is an executive and leadership coach (ICF ACC, PCC pending) based in Tokyo and Hayama. She works in English with Japanese support and partners with multinational companies, nonprofits, and startup founders to build the kind of leadership that doesn't burn out the leader.
Her practice is a distinctive integration of somatic and embodiment work, nervous-system awareness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, hormone cycle awareness, and mindfulness — held inside a cross-cultural lens shaped by fifteen years across Japan and Korea. Five of those years have been as a certified coach; the ten before were as an educator and program manager developing teams and individuals through change. That combination is what corporate clients hire her for.
Beyond her one-to-one practice, Heather convenes communities and events for entrepreneurial women, founders, and senior operators across Tokyo's innovation ecosystem. She has also applied her skills as a volunteer on a local crisis line, supporting the international community to navigate the challenges of living abroad.
In her free time you can find her practicing Muay Thai, creating interactive art pieces, caring for her many houseplants, and hiking.

Kind Words
“Heather turns leadership coaching into a deeply personal growth journey. Instead of one-size-fits-all training, she tailors her approach to fit your unique identity and your professional goals.
I once thought success required changing myself to fit a conventional ‘leader’ archetype.
Thanks to Heather’s guidance, I learned that true leadership coaching isn’t about changing who I am but becoming more in tune with my authentic self, my values, and the leader I aspire to be.”
