Hi there, welcome to my tiny corner of the Internet. My name is Aaron, and in addition to being able to lift extremely light-weight carbon fiber bicycles above my head, I am a professional coach, cultural consultant, educator, author, podcast host, musician, and family man. I am blessed to have found a lovely wife, who has birthed us three lovely children. Everything I do in my life is to make their lives better. <\/p>\n

For income, I teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses at California State University, East Bay,<\/a> San Jose State University<\/a>, and St. Mary’s College of California<\/a>, and lead cultural consulting workshops for Japan Intercultural Consulting, Inc<\/a>. I also run my own business, called “Amplify Coaching & Consulting<\/a>, LLC” (aka, AC&C).<\/p>\n

I started AC&C because I wanted to help amplify the voices of the best and the brightest emerging leaders, by coaching them to find clarity in their work and balance in their lives. <\/p>\n

I know from experience that we often cannot see the light at the foot of the lighthouse, so to speak, and that we can all benefit from having a great coach in our corner. <\/p>\n

I am a CTI<\/a>-trained co-active coach and will be officially certified by CTI and the ICF<\/a> in December 2023. I am currently offering discounted “certification” rates that will not last, so if you are interested in learning more about coaching, now is a great time to act<\/a>! <\/b><\/p>\n

I have successfully led various consulting and research projects for various Japanese and American companies and governmental organizations, including <\/span>Japan’s Ministry of Education<\/a>, <\/span>Tesla Motors, Inc<\/a>., <\/span>Japan’s Olympic Committee<\/a>, <\/span>and <\/span>Lead2Play<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, coaching and consulting are just part of what I do. I also write and speak about a range of topics related to leadership, <\/span>sports, education, and <\/span>culture. <\/span>
<\/p>\n

I also have an abiding interest in the politics<\/span> of sports, cross-cultural relations, and leadership development. In particular, I find great satisfaction speaking to leading organizations about the leadership lessons we can learn from sports and particularly sports coaches. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I love to write. I have published many <\/span>articles and book chapters regarding the aforementioned themes, some of which you can read here<\/a> on this website. <\/span><\/p>\n

My first book, which is called Discourses of Discipline<\/i>, was published by the <\/span>Institute of East Asian Studies, UC Berkeley<\/a> in 2013, can be <\/span>purchased <\/span>here<\/a>, and was <\/span>translated into Japanese and published by Kyowakoku<\/a>. You can order the Japanese translation here<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

My second book, called <\/span>Buying In<\/i><\/a>, was published by Rowman and Littlefield<\/a>, in<\/span> 2022. There are currently discussions about translating it into Japanese, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in learning more about the work that I have done, and\/or wonder whether I can help you or your organization, too, please <\/span>send me an email @ <\/span>amiller333@yahoo.com<\/a> <\/span>and begin a conversation. If you’re not sure, feel free to <\/span>put time on my calendar<\/a>, too. <\/span>
<\/p>\n

And while you’re here, why not listen to some of my <\/span>music<\/a>, and <\/span>subscribe to my podcast<\/a>? It’s called “<\/span>The Power of Sports<\/a>” and it is a fun if tiny corner of the Internet where I interview guests about their <\/span>fascinating <\/span>experiences in sports. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
