Culture First: In-Person Gathering
What if the most powerful leadership tool you've never heard of is 1,000 years old?
In this 90-minute interactive workshop, executive coach, facilitator and author Cherry Ward introduces the Kokoro Compass, a navigation framework built on seven Japanese philosophies that helps leaders, teams and organisations find their direction through change, uncertainty, and transition.
This isn't a book talk. It's a working session.
You'll explore the compass directions with direct relevance to culture and people leadership and leave with a personal compass direction you can apply immediately to your biggest current challenge.
What you'll take away:
🧭 A personal compass direction for your current challenge
📒 A practical navigation framework you can bring back to your team
📱 Free access to the Kokoro Compass digital assessment
Cherry's book Lead with Kokoro: A Leadership Compass Built on Japanese Wisdom launches in October 2026. This event marks the Melbourne launch and a first look at the framework for the Culture First community.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the day.
