The Promise of Nanba Dynamics

What if you could achieve a quantum leap in physical and mental energy, simply by correctly integrating your body movements? Imagine being able to release tension and move with physical finesse? Stand without fatigue. Make a better impression. This is the promise of Nanba Dynamics.

Nanba Walking is based on the way that the Samurai walked, without forcing, twisting, or disconnecting in movement. It is a way to overcome the inertia of a sedentary life by getting off of your seat and onto your feet. Nanba Walking will help you find your Natural Rhythm, Balance, and Flow. Nanba Walking will help you think on your feet, and develop the ability to generate a steady stream of ideas that you can apply to solving problems in your or your client's business.

Particularly since the pandemic, many people have been forced into a more sedentary existence, working from home and hardly walking or moving much from day to day. This is not saps you of energy, but a sedentary life has been proven to be worse than smoking, and can actually shorten your life.

The first step in finding your IKIGAI is to discover your Genius, your Passions, your Purpose, and how you can get Paid. However none of this will amount to anything unless you cultivate Energy that engages them all. While your passions and projects are unique to you, there is a proven process and tools that can help you.

As a Certified Flow Consultant, I can help you get into Flow in all of the basics steps toward finding your IKIGAI. Implementation is where the real work is done, and that requires sustainable energy, flexible focus, and ideas for continuous improvement and creative solutions. Nanba Walking, and practical wisdom from Samurai Culture can help you with Self-Tuning, Accelerated Mastery, and Enhanced Energy.

In January 2020 William Reed (Will) helped facilitate a two day workshop for the whole Laerdal Japan team.  The workshop was a fantastic mix of presentations, small group exercises and team building activities.  All of these were based on Japanese culture, using Japanese traditional exercise and activities to challenge mindsets.
 
The two days were extremely well received by our team, the lessons learnt and lessons shared were very impactful and at the end of the two days, our team left energized and focused.
 
Thank you Will
 
Yours Sincerely,

Graeme Foulds,
Regional Director,

The 2 day course on Creativity in Business that William Reed provided blew our people away and the feedback has been extremely positive, ranking as one of our most popular training programs to date. William’s delivery is infectious and he talks on a range of topics from visual thinking and memory techniques to personality analysis. 

I was amazed that William could cover so much content so well and present in such an effective manner that I can easily recall most of it! I can already see the people involved in this course are putting this to use and they are now thirsty for more and the word of mouth has spread in the company that we should provide this for everyone.

Over the past several years, William has been a guest lecturer in my class on entrepreneurial management and participated as a judge in the annual business plan contest held at our graduate school of business. In the entrepreneurial management class, I try to invite speakers who may serve as “exemplars” of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial modes of thinking and action.   William perfectly fills the bill. Not only are William’s personal stories inspiring, the frameworks he presents provide valuable tools to the students in the design and management of their own future careers, whether in entrepreneurial ventures or large companies.  

In addition, William is capable of effectively blending modern business practices with his own deep expertise in traditional Japanese arts and wider understanding of Asian culture to formulate a message that is not only very different but very relevant to business students and business professionals.   Finally, as one of the judges in our business plan contest, William’s unique insights into business and interpersonal dynamics allow him to provide insightful and constructive comments to the students, which are always highly appreciated.”

I had the pleasure of meeting William when he requested an interview for his iPad Creator's Club in Tokyo, Japan. And what a rip-roaring good time we had talking! I was already impressed by the depth and thoughtfulness of his questions and was even more impressed by the quality of his character. William is highly intelligent, observant, has high-level, focused energy and is also capable of a good belly laugh. I loved connecting with him and we intend to see where we might make more connections for visual thinking in Japan. If you're wondering about working with or partnering with William ever in the future, let this recommendation put all of your questions to rest. He's a treasure.
