About Bryn Sakagawa

Apulit Island in the Philippines is a place my family still talks about—clear water, deep connection, and a sense of calm that stays with you long after you leave. That feeling of clarity and renewal is the spirit behind Apulit Consulting.

For more than 20 years, I’ve led multicultural teams across 21 countries, navigating crisis, complexity, and change—from managing a multimillion-dollar health program during Ebola to coordinating COVID-19 response efforts. I’ve also experienced leadership at a personal cost. While serving as a Director in West Africa, I came close to burnout. Executive coaching changed how I lead—and ultimately reshaped my career.

Today, as an International Coaching Federation Associate Certified Coach and consultant, I combine lived experience with professional expertise to support leaders and organizations who want both impact and sustainability.

My goal is to help my clients gain clarity, strengthen their leadership, and build the systems that allow them —and their team—to thrive without sacrificing wellbeing.

Client Testimonials

She is well versed in the latest thinking on organizational development and leadership, and always has useful tools to present to a particular problem. I would recommend her without hesitation."

    - Christine G., Environmental Strategy Leader

  • "Working with Bryn gave me clarity and confidence at an important moment in my career. She asks thoughtful questions, offers honest guidance, and creates a space where you can reflect and grow. I’m truly grateful for her support and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking to move forward with greater focus and purpose."

    - Hajime T., Foreign Service Officer

  • "As I went through the toughest job transition of my life, Bryn was the steady voice in my ear, asking all the right questions at the right time. She helped me close out my chapter with dignity, and helped me help my subordinates going through the sudden loss of our organization as well. As I despaired in the face of the search for a new job, she helped me break down what I was looking for, focus strategically on my strengths, practice interviewing, and ultimately I got a fantastic new job!"

    - Bronwyn L., Conservation Director
