Coaching For Speed In Business and the NHL

This episode’s unusually well informed guest is Satoshi Takano.


Satoshi has had a very diverse career spanning high tech,
education, sales, athlete coaching and healthcare.


Satoshi helped Hitachi Canada prepare for Y2K. At Verizon, he
designed and implemented enterprise connectivity solutions.
Later, at Bell Canada he focused on sales and marketing.


Satoshi led Cisco’s integration of Broadsoft, a cloud
collaboration company that Cisco acquired.


Today, Satoshi’s LinkedIn lists five roles that he holds
simultaneously. He is a man with many irons in the fire!


Satoshi is an agility instructor to NHL players, a leadership
professor at Humber College’s School of Applied Technology, a
business and career coach and co-founder of the Genus
Pelino/Gordie Howe Research Institute.


Satoshi and I discuss work he is doing to help NHL players
develop blistering reflexes, the role of imaging in healthcare,
the advice he gives his students to propel them to success as
leaders and entrepreneurs, and the impact of automation and COVID
on retail, transportation and offices.
