One-Line Bio
My name is Rosa Say. I am founder and head coach of SAY LEADERSHIP COACHING™, and author of Managing with Aloha, Bringing Hawaii's Universal Values to the Art of Business.
Biography
Aloha! First, let me welcome you and say mahalo, thank you for clicking in.
Is this your first time visiting? The main navigation links atop the left column will help you toggle between three main websites:
1. Say Leadership Coaching, my coaching business,
2. The online resource for Managing With Aloha, my book, and
3. Talking Story, my blog.
Ho‘ohana™ is the official monthly newsletter of SAY LEADERSHIP COACHING. I started it back in September of 2003 via email, and it quickly engendered a following of readers we now call the Ho‘ohana Community. Ho‘ohana™ is published as a monthly essay, and it now resides on the Talking Story weblog as our online conversation fire-starter. The current edition appears as the blog’s post on the first working day of every month, and presents a topic we’ll ‘talk story’ about all month long.
Ho‘ohana is the Hawaiian value which is our mantra and guiding light. It means to work with full intention and on-purpose, and my passion is coaching managers and leaders in values-based business practices. I believe that work is personal and always will be, and I’ve committed myself and my company to helping people seek their best life in business. Managers matter.
The Hawaiian words I most often use in my writing correspond to the nineteen Hawaiian values which are the chapter headings of my book, Managing with Aloha. When you visit www.ManagingWithAloha.com you will find these values serve as an index of the writing I have continued to do since Managing with Aloha was first published. To know these values is to know me and my company through our whole-life, inside-out approach to intentional work; they define the heart and commitment of our coaching philosophy.

Interests
I love the world of business — to be precise, my current world of aloha-filled business.
I have a passion for management, and shaping it into an art form as my daily work-in-progress.
I relish the day-to-day working on myself to be a better manager, walking the talk of good management practice.
I love the science of business and the democracy of free enterprise, where ultimately the customer rules.
I love working within business introspectively, but with an ever-constant eye on the fickle, challenging, very human marketplace.
I love studying and benchmarking successfully thriving and self-sustaining companies.
I love the new global possibilities of networking, and I also love seeing how small business networks of entrepreneurs today are reinventing their neighborhood networks closer to home.
I love the possibilities business provides us with, to choose our own destiny and create it in the name of innovation for many and not just ourselves.
I love working through a good business plan, where worthwhile work is done for profit, not paycheck.
I love being involved in the human drama of business, where we study and talk about things like creativity, courage, excellence, empowerment and transformation.
Some say you are what you read … very true in my case, for I love to test the theory found in books with actual practice, exploring every nuance of it, and luckily the good stuff becomes habit forming. A book is usually the best gift you can give me, for inevitably reading takes me on a new journey. My friends and clients say that visiting my wish list on Amazon.com is their way of cluing into what leap I’ll take next: you can take a look if you like.
However, what I really want to read are your comments. So does the rest of the Ho‘ohana Community. So post them. Talk Story with us. Join the Ho‘ohana Community so you’ll be first to know about our newest journey. It’s a fun ride.
