Speaking Topics

Your audience has heard a lot about purpose-driven business. Masami is one of the few people in the world who can show them what it actually looks like.

Every session is built around a shift, not just information.

Leaders leave with a new definition of impact, moves they can make immediately, and an unexpected sense of joy about the role their business can play in the world.

  • Audience: Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Corporate Leaders, All Industries

    The world is accelerating and the future feels increasingly unreadable. The leaders who thrive in this environment are those who have learned to stay grounded, act consistently, and build trust through small, deliberate actions every day. Drawing on over two decades of building a global movement and real stories from the leaders who are getting this right, Masami reframes uncertainty as an invitation to lead more humanly.

    What your audience explores with Masami:

    • how to cultivate clarity when the future is unclear

    • why small daily actions shape culture more powerfully than annual strategy cycles

    • how purpose and joy are the most underrated leadership tools of our time

    • and what human-centred leadership looks like when it is actually practised.

  • Audience: Corporate Leaders, ESG/CSR Leaders, HR Professionals, Impact Investors, Tech Company Leaders

    Traditional ESG and CSR frameworks are very often scrutinized today - and for good reason. Reporting without behaviour change, compliance without conviction, and philanthropy as reputation management are losing credibility and resonance with employees, investors, and customers alike. 

    Masami presents a new definition of impact built on impactful giving, embedded generosity, and a business culture that creates a deep sense of connection. 

    What your audience will explore:

    • a new definition of impact that goes beyond reporting

    • how real, embedded generosity strengthens brand trust; the surprising link between giving culture and employee engagement in the AI age

    • and innovation-led approaches to sustainability that create genuine competitive advantage.

  • Audience: Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Corporate Leaders, All Industries

    Grand strategies fail. Small, consistent actions compound. 

    This is a neuroscientific and business reality that Masami has seen play out across thousands of companies worldwide. This Keynote gives leaders a practical, immediately applicable framework for building a culture of purpose through the everyday without complexity, large budgets, or wholesale transformation programmes. 

    What your audience explores:

    • why micro-acts of impact and care create deep engagement and lasting loyalty

    • a practical framework for weaving purpose into everyday operations

    • real business stories of culture transformation achieved one small action at a time; and how to build a movement inside your organisation that doesn't require a big budget.

  • Audience: Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Corporate Leaders, Industry Events

    As AI reshapes roles, work and identity, the leaders who thrive are those who remain most connected to their original source of motivation. Drawing on the Japanese concepts of Ikigai and Wabi Sabi as practical tools for navigating uncertainty, Masami guides leaders back to what matters most and helps them rediscover the joy that is the most renewable fuel for high-pressure leadership. 

    What your audience experience :

    • why impact-driven leadership matters more than ever as AI transforms work

    • how to reconnect with your original source of motivation when it feels lost or diluted; finding everyday joy as a sustainable energy source

    • and creating meaning-driven impact in a world where stakeholders demand more than profit

  • Audience: Business Owners, Corporate Leaders, HR Professionals

    The most resilient businesses in the world share one thing in common and it comes down to how their people feel about the organisation they are part of. Masami introduces the concept of ‘family-thinking’ as the foundation of genuinely human cultures: organisations where psychological safety, a spirit of generosity, and a sense of shared legacy create the conditions for exceptional talent to stay, contribute, and grow. 

    What your audience explores:

    • what the most resilient businesses have in common

    • how family-thinking creates psychological safety and belonging at scale

    • practical ideas for hiring, nurturing and retaining people in an era of rapid workplace transformation

    • why legacy is the new leadership currency that attracts exceptional talent; and how embedding real generosity drives both prosperity and genuine human connection.

  • Audience: Aspiring Students, Educators and Parents who Care about the Future Generations

    Young people today feel the world's problems are too big and their own power too small. Masami, who built a global movement of 395 million giving impacts driven by a single question she refused to stop asking, speaks directly to the next generation about what leadership looks like when you lead from exactly where you are, at any age. She shows young people that the future is not something that happens to them. It is something they are already designing, one choice at a time. 


    What your audience explores:

    • why leadership begins with asking the right question

    • how small choices daily compound into great impact over time; how to find your own Ikigai — the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs

    • why the most important thing you can do today does not require you to be ready

    • and how families, schools, and communities shift when young people decide to lead from exactly where they already stand.

  • "Masami represents what it means to be a humble, reluctant leader. Her grace, presence and joy speak to a far higher purpose — and I find it is my privilege to follow her on the journey of business for good."

    — Glen Carlson, Co-founder, Dent Global

  • "Masami is a visionary, entrepreneur with heart. Her speaking style is so different from the usual - there's no hype - just a quiet, powerful message delivered in a way that absolutely engages and touches people deeply."

     Ryll Burgin-Doyle, 90Degrees Global

  • "Masami is able to form bonds with everyone, from the CEOs of major multinationals to the sustainable development thought-leaders. She brings a human touch to serious issues."

     — Jeremy Bentham, Co-chair, World Energy Council
