It began with a leadership lesson.
In 2020, founder Lana Iwabuchi made a mistake at work that put a client at risk of significant financial loss. The situation was resolved, but the experience revealed something deeper: under pressure, even capable leaders can lose connection with their inner signals.
Drawing on her multicultural upbringing, decades of life in Japan, and studies in neuroscience and emotional intelligence, Lana created the Daruma Vision™ method, integrating strategic clarity with practices that help leaders stay grounded when it matters most.
There is no clarity of mind without clarity of heart.

"I’m Japanese yet even I didn’t know about yoshuku. It was inspiring to learn about the Japanese way of manifestation, and the celebration of our achievements really allowed for the internal shift to be solidified. A highly recommended experience. "

"The experience was a refreshing way to work on goal-setting. Using the Japanese cultural lens of daruma as well as great coaching techniques created a deep and creative way to look at personal and professional goals. She obviously has a deep understanding of the material and led us through it clearly and concisely. It was a diverse group of participants to work and grow with. "
