Just finished my first smile training with Ms. Kawano.A great session that was well-structured, attentive to my smile fears (big mouth, showing teeth or not, fat cheek, looking fake etc.), rich in both knowledge (key smile-related facial muscles) and practices (e.g. 2-minute ah-wu exercise), with note taking and before/after photos real time.Having done a lot of coaching myself, I can immediately tell that Ms. Kawano has trained numerous people to have refined her curriculum. She is dynamic and adaptive, and most importantly, patient, while staying focused on addressing key issues. I also felt she has a genuinely great heart to bring smiles and happiness to more people in the world.It’s so great that zoom/technology has made it seamless for me to take this training from the U.S. For anybody who, either for public or private reasons, wants to have a greater smiling presence, I would highly recommend Ms. Kawano because she’s really studied the art and science of smiling.Here I am also grateful for Kumiko who translated (and smiles) beautifully.
