Future-Ready Leadership
Strengthen your leadership muscles with Paul Dupuis, renowned leadership coach, facilitator and best-selling author.
Effective leadership begins with self-awareness, fueled by a constant desire to learn, grow and be “better than yesterday.”
Crafting a compelling vision and then bringing it to execution with impact is especially challenging. That’s why Paul Dupuis, a global executive with nearly 30 years of leadership experience across Japan, India and APAC, created the Future Ready Leadership Gym. Through immersive workshops and 1:1 coaching, Dupuis helps leaders and their teams train the key leadership “muscles” they need to lead with confidence and clarity.
NEW KIND OF WORKSHOP
Traditional leadership coaches focus on theory. Dupuis takes a different approach, treating leadership development like a fitness program. Just as building physical strength requires targeted training, becoming a more effective leader requires focused effort to strengthen specific skills. Drawing from the principles of his bestselling book The E5 Movement, Dupuis works with clients to identify and strengthen under-utilized “muscles” that he believes are paramount to being an effective leader.
But leadership isn’t just about personal development—it’s about enabling others to thrive, which requires strong self-awareness. “The leader as ‘enabler’ requires the ability to know when to be at the front and set the pace, when to move to the back into a supportive role or when to simply not be there—giving the team freedom to move, experiment and take action,” says Dupuis. His Future Ready Leadership Gym focuses on interactive workshops and personalized coaching.
Future Ready Leadership Workshops
These half-day or full-day customized sessions challenge leadership teams to think differently and apply practical strategies through exercises and tailored discussions. Dupuis hosts the workshops at the Club or off-site locations, for both Japanese and global companies.

For leaders seeking deeper transformation, personalized coaching sessions offer clients the opportunity to work one-on-one with Dupuis to identify and train specific leadership skills.
THE REAL DEAL
Many leadership coaches talk about the challenge of balancing vision and execution—Dupuis has lived it. Having led both a significant business turnaround in India and aggressive growth in Japan, he knows firsthand the challenge of balancing big-picture vision with the discipline of execution.
Drawing from the expertise of his mentor and friend Marshall Goldsmith, Dupuis incorporates the Stakeholder Centered Coaching approach, ensuring real-time feedback from stakeholders so that leadership growth isn’t just theoretical, it’s actioned and measured. His extensive experience in M&A and post-merger integration advisory in Japan, India and across APAC gives him a rare depth of understanding in high-stakes leadership. Having been on both sides of the M&A process, he knows that successful leadership isn’t just about systems and processes; it’s about people, culture and trust.
By putting leadership principles learned from real-life experiences into practice, Dupuis’ expert guidance and specialized program help clients develop a deeper understanding of cross-cultural leadership in action, with the ultimate goal of taking a vision to execution.
