Long Shot Leaders with Michael Stein His transformative experiences that led him to abandon conventional success in favor of a calling rooted in authenticity and service, Kute Blackson.
Kute Blackson is a transformative speaker, author, and personal development coach born in Ghana to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother. His unique multicultural background shaped his early life, leading to feelings of disconnection as he moved from Ghana to London and later to the United States. Influenced by his father, a prominent church leader who built over 300 churches in Ghana, Kute began speaking at church services by age eight and was ordained as a minister at fourteen. However, he felt a profound internal conflict between adhering to his father's expectations and following his true calling. At eighteen, Kute chose a path of personal development instead of pursuing a traditional university education, inspired by figures like Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn. He took a bold step by moving to California after winning a green card through a lottery, embracing a journey marked by uncertainty and self-discovery. His coaching career began organically as he helped individuals navigate their emotional struggles, focusing on deep transformation rather than traditional methodologies. Kute's innovative approach, which he termed "uncoaching," emphasizes the importance of addressing unresolved emotional pain and fostering authentic self-expression. His reputation grew as he guided clients from around the world toward significant life changes. He is the bestselling author of "You Are the One" and "The Magic of Surrender," where he explores themes of authenticity, purpose, and personal growth. Through large seminars and intimate coaching sessions, Kute Blackson inspires others to reconnect with their true selves and navigate their personal journeys toward fulfillment. He currently travels internationally to share his message, offering transformative experiences that help individuals heal past traumas and discover their authentic paths.
