Why the Leader’s Kata Journal?
The Leader’s Kata Journal is a 12-week leadership journal designed for managers, aspiring leaders, and business owners who want a clear rhythm for growth.
Leadership isn’t a one-off event. It’s a practice.
The Leader’s Kata Journal gives you a weekly rhythm for reflection, action, and growth.
Grounded in proven methods like the GROW Model, Toyota Kata, and T-CUP (Thinking Correctly Under Pressure), this journal helps you:
Define your goals with clarity.
Act with intent under pressure.
Reflect and learn from every week.
Build habits that align with your values and legacy.
It’s practical, concise, and designed for real leaders in the real world.
Instead of vague affirmations, the journal gives you a structured weekly practice: check-in, set your aim, define your intent, prepare for challenges, and reflect on progress.

Why “Kata”?
In martial arts, a kata is a repeated pattern that builds skill through practice.
In business, Toyota Kata applies the same principle to continuous improvement.
The Leader’s Kata Journal applies this philosophy to leadership.
Each week is a mini kata, a cycle of action, reflection, and adjustment.
Over 12 weeks, these cycles form a Kaizen event, where small steps lead to big transformation.
