RBA Group was honoured to take part in a powerful and insightful training session led by James Chappell, Founder & CEO of BEMi Consulting, on “Facing Difficult Emotions During Meetings.”
With over 25 years of experience living and working in Japan, James has dedicated his career to helping professionals overcome fear and speak up with confidence in team environments — a mission that resonates far beyond borders. This session marked a special milestone as it was the first time this training was delivered outside of Japan, and we were proud to be part of it.

Throughout the session, James challenged participants to step into discomfort and reflect on the inner thoughts that often fuel fear in meetings. He reminded us that fear is rarely rooted in past experiences or cultural background, but more often in our present mindset and need for control.
This experience marks the start of a deeper journey into emotional awareness, self-reflection, and professional growth, and we are grateful to have shared it with such an open and thoughtful group.
Our sincere thanks to James Chappell for guiding this transformative session.
