  6th Annual Conference

  
  

  From Locker Room to C-Suite

  Increasing evidence shows that playing sports can transfer into your professional

  career, helping you become a better and more influential leader.

  Playing sports is often considered a male thing, but the expectation that sports can

  help your career holds for women, as well as men. In a 2014 report of women

  executives by Ernst & Young (EY), Women Athletes Business Network and espnW,

  74% indicated a background in sport can help accelerate a woman’s career. 

  In another report, they found an overwhelming correlation between athletic and

  business success -- 94% of women in the C-suite played sports and 80% of female 

  Fortune executives played competitive sports.

  Against the backdrop of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, this year’s conference will

  address the character traits and attributes that are common among great athletes

  and business leaders.  The speakers will highlight leadership qualities that are

  both effective on and off the field, and share skills learned in athletics that

  have a direct workplace crossover.

  An esteemed sushi master, Chef Onodera once told Los Angeles Magazine, “Rice is 70%, fish is 30%,” highlighting the importance he places on the quality of the rice he serves.  He grows his own rice in partnership with Tamaki Farms.  He also meticulously sources fresh fish for his signature sushi, placing a major emphasis on sustainable seafood.  Inn Ann meals are served on Chef Onodera’s own handmade pottery, as well as custom Arita-yaki porcelain to further immerse guests into Japanese culture.
