MOVIN' ON UP TO THE BIG TIME
Cynthia Yamasaki to leave YWCA of Oahu to pursue own mission-driven business

Her last day at the YWCA of Oahu is March 21, and the nonprofit is recruiting for a replacement.
While it’s a new focus, it is an established dream. She launched her life coaching business in 2007 part-time while she balanced a finance career.
But that has been on hold since late 2012, when the YWCA of Oahu recruited her from First Hawaiian Bank to oversee the launch of its new business resource center. More than a year later, now that the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership is up and running, she wants to turn her side business into her primary focus.
“I’m a gap-filler,” she said. “I like to fill gaps, and I have some other ventures I’m planning that are too early to share.”
Her life coaching business, called CMY Consulting LLC, will help professionals of all industries and career-levels to avoid burnout and achieve a sense of purpose and passion. To live up to her own words, she is planning to travel to California soon to learn from a worldwide life coach.
“Being a coach keeps me accountable to myself, and I want to take myself to the next level,” she said. “And that is what I want to teach others; You have to continue your self-development.”
Her consulting business doesn’t have walls, and she plans to meet with individuals or small groups at their homes or preferred public meeting spaces.
“When you are fully aligned with your purpose, taking care of yourself in all aspects, you are able to give and be a better leader,” she added.
Meanwhile, the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership has been a big hit and is in expansion mode, as she told PBN in December.

A LITTLE ASIDE
CHERYL 'KAWIZZLE' IREBARIA - I found Cheryl to be quite a curious sort, to be at the University at the time. Early in my time there she was nice enough to offer me a ride home. When she began on a course of what seemed to be leading into pop psychology, I had her drop me off at the bus stop. This, I thought, was no skin off either of us. Fastforward: After the hugs and before the arm around the shoulder, came a few interesting conversations.
1. When she told me she wanted to learn to steal a car, in case she ever needed to. I chalked this one up to - youth and possibly to many thrillers. This, I shared with management to indicate the atmosphere of the basement.
2. After hearing Cheryl say "I always get even", I asked her the following day, if revenge was sweet. Later, that day I found Cheryl seemingly avoiding me, and while speaking with Henrietta, found that Cheryl had forgotten her comments of the previous day, and thought I had made some kind of veiled threat. According to Henrietta, she thought I was going to kill her. I chalked this one up to - again, too many thrillers and too much of a stereotypical view of black men. Maybe, too much BET.
3.The most unsettling one was when she, at that time, a 2nd or 3rd year student, asked why Emmet Till wasn't in the history books. I explained, that's the reason black history courses and books were created. Why she would think one of thousands would make mainstream history books, I couldn't fathom. I also couldn't chalk this one up.
MARY JANE KAHOOPII - Tells the class her brother in-law is a policeman. Says he's one with unmarked vehicle and blue light. Seems she thinks these are the cops one should be afraid of. Could it be ???
RENEE AIONA - I, and most others there saw Renee hit with hands and objects, pinched and pushed, by Myles and Chris. One day she was taped into a chair - this with packing tape - and pushed into the rear of the building. Good thing, they weren't singing that Aretha Franklin song, when they did it. It could very well have been misconstrued as harassment, or worse?
