  • Goldmine of wisdom

    Katie has captured the wisdom of Mr. Yoshino and the Lean philosophy and presented it in a new light highlighting the importance of “learning to lead” but most importantly “leading to learn” that contains timeless and meaningful value that is applicable to our personal and professional journey.

    Katie keeps the chain of learning moving forward. I will be practicing what Mr. Yoshino stated, “true learning happens through continuous reflection”
