Dear Dr Anita,
Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt message. Reading it brought back many memories from my early days in India.
You were the very first teacher and coach I had when I was posted here, and that meant more to me than words can easily express. At that time, I had many questions, uncertainties, and moments of confusion — both professionally and personally. You always took the time to listen, and you helped me work through those moments with patience, clarity, and genuine care.
Because my language level was not sufficient, you kindly adjusted your approach and held 1-on-1 sessions tailored to where I was. That consideration made a huge difference for me. It allowed me to learn, reflect, and grow without fear, and it showed me what inclusive and mindful leadership truly looks like.
I also want to share that I really loved your lecture style — your speed, your energy, and the tension you bring into the room. You once mentioned that it came from experience, but honestly, I don’t fully agree. I believe it is fundamentally your style, and it is one of the reasons your sessions were so engaging and impactful.
What stayed with me most was not only what you taught, but how you showed up — consistently, authentically, and with deep respect for each individual in the room.
Thank you again for walking alongside me during such an important chapter of my journey. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have learned from you, and I wish you nothing but continued success and fulfillment in the next phase of your coaching practice.
With warm regards and sincere appreciation,
Otsubo Seiichi, Program Manager, Terumo India
