Biography
"Life is a Stage, and You are the Star" – A High-Performance Method to Transform Adversity into Strength, Presented by the Founder of the Goshimboku Theory
Mayumi Ogata, a veteran performer with over 40 years of experience on stage since the age of three, has graced 83 stages across 19 cities in 5 countries (as of March 2025) in the fields of Japanese traditional dance, creative dance, and acting.
As an international speech coach/public speaking performance coach, she provides practical performance guidance to a wide range of clients, including CEOs, influencers, celebrities, and bodybuilders. Her unique approach, incorporating "High-Performance Thinking" and "Character Building Methods" derived from her acting experience, assists not only professional speakers but also anyone who desires to deliver their best performance in front of an audience. Starting in 2025, she will also be teaching a class on expressive skills for university students.
The Philosophy of "Emotional Expression" Cultivated on Stage – Making the Most of All Life Experiences
"No experience in life is wasted; everything is nourishment for life." This teaching, inherited from her acting mentor, has become Ogata's philosophy of life and the theme of her lifework, public speaking.
Through emotional expression on stage, she learned the importance of deepening self-understanding, empathy, and self-esteem, and unleashing creativity. This experience is utilized to support clients in transforming their emotions into power, improving expressiveness, persuasiveness, and confidence, connecting with the audience, and letting their individuality shine.
"Life is a Stage, and You are the Star"
Any adversity can be overcome. Everyone has an inner "Goshimboku (sacred tree)." Negative experiences and emotions take deep root, expanding your foundation and vessel of the heart. Positive experiences then become gifts that bring tangible results and a rich harvest. – She delivers this powerful message, based on her own experiences, to high school students, university students, female entrepreneurs, and business executives.

"Goshimboku Theory" to Transform Trauma into Strength – A Life Script Rewriting Method Born from 20 Years of Self-Dialogue
Triggered by childhood trauma, She practiced dialog journaling (self-dialogue notes) and walking for 20 years. In a memo-taking course, she embodied the importance of accepting both positive (yang) and negative (yin) experiences, leading to the creation of the "Goshimboku Theory," a method for nurturing the inner sacred tree.
The Three-Step Process
1. Letting Go by Writing: Release emotions and create a safe space for your heart.
* What to write: Emotions (anger, sadness, anxiety, etc.), trauma, self-criticism, unforgivable things, gratitude.
2. Walking to Acceptance: Take action to organize your thoughts and gain new perspectives.
* Why walk?: Serotonin secretion, thought organization, change of pace, awareness of bodily sensations, connection with nature.
3. Seeing from Multiple Perspectives: Objectively grasp experiences and find meaning.
* How?: Change questions, change perspectives, reframe, metacognition, seek advice.
This process serves as a guide to rewrite your life script and create your ideal future.

MESSAGE
強いから挑戦できたわけではない。
考え方を変えて視座が変わったから挑戦が怖くなくなったわけでもない。
勇気があってもなくても、バンジージャンプを飛ぶかのように
「えいっ！」と飛び込んできただけ。
これからも新しく挑戦することは、不安だし怖いし、足が震えるし、できないことを数え始めて落ち込んでしまう時もある。
そんな時、いつも心に描くことは…
もし、あなたが人生という「舞台」に立つ主人公だったら、どんなストーリーにしますか？
この挑戦が、あなたにとって豊かな体験となるのか？
それとも、ただ、つらいだけの体験なのか？
どっちを選択する？
これまでつらいことが多かったと感じていたとしても大丈夫！
人生の脚本は、いつでも書き換えられるから。
人生に予期せぬことが起こることを私たちには止められない。
でも、私たちはその出来事をどう解釈するかは自由に決められる。
私にとって、陰（ネガティブ）な体験や感情は自分を受け入れるためのチャンスになった。
人生という名の舞台にアップダウンはつきもの。
それもあなたの人生ストーリーを彩る大事な演出。
人生はあなた次第。
どれだけ土砂降りの雨が降ったとしても、その後、ひときわ輝く美しいダブルレインボーが広がるから。
あなただからできること
あなたじゃないとできないことがある。
