Want to learn more about Kyosei’s founding principles and history? Read the interview with our founder, Andrea Jacques.

Kyosei (key-ō – say) is a Japanese word meaning “living and working together for the common good.” It is more than just our name—it’s our cause and our calling.

What you offer, what you sell and how you do it, has an enormous impact on the world. If making a dollar is your only concern, you probably won’t get jazzed by working with us. However, if you’re a purpose-driven business leader who values making a difference and does not need to be convinced that lasting success is built on integrity, courage, creativity and contribution in all aspects of your life and work, then we’d love to hear from you.

Andrea is a dynamic speaker, facilitator, executive coach and author with a gift for helping people and organizations to thrive. Her 25+ years of experience in coaching and consulting bring a seasoned perspective to what your organization needs to outgrow good enough and become truly legendary. Andrea lives to unlock the performance of individuals and teams, inspire employee engagement, and transform workplaces into environments with the ability to grow and sustain passion, vitality, creativity and fulfillment in their employees.

Andrea began her career in workplace transformation with academic, government, and health care institutions in Canada, but honed her innovative “east-meets-west” approach (which forms the core of Kyosei’s coaching and consulting offerings) while working in Japan with major corporations like Chase Manhattan, Disney, Fuji, NEC, and the Center for International Communication and Management. She continues to enjoy working with a variety of organizations including multinational corporations, government and academic institutions, non-profits and entrepreneurs as it allows her to cross-pollinate best practices and design innovative systems and programs that build strong foundations for sustainable success.

Boyan Blocka

Products | Operations

Boyan started his first business (a computer training and support company) while in University. On graduation, he sold that firm and started another, developing custom CMSes (Content Management Systems) for small firms in the days before WordPress.

Swayed by life (namely the .dotcom crash of 2000), Boyan came to Vancouver on the coattails of a film scholarship and job as a Television Producer. He then moved into advertising, earning his stripes as a technology, copy, presentation designer and speech writer for agencies and clients like Alteryx, Box, Cossette, Crystal Decisions, DataSift, Google, Nokia, and SAP/BusinessObjects. Merging his marketing and web dev firm with Kyosei in 2003 (and marrying Andrea in 2006), Boyan today leads our product, marketing and operational efforts and is our coveted Strategic Futurist – helping clients navigate change, disruption & complex technology topics with his popular humor, optimism and can do charm.

Boyan holds a B.Sc. in Archaeology and Neuroscience from the University of Calgary.
