NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

Kimball & Yuko Shute

JAPAN

A LIGHT IN THE DARK

Kimball and Yuko Shute’ s dōTERRA journey began when Kimball’ s father invited Kimball to go to the wellness center with him to meet Boyd Truman. Boyd then gave Kimball’ s father a back treatment with essential oils, which Kimball had no experience with. When Boyd dropped one drop of Peppermint oil into Kimball’ s hand, however, his entire outlook changed. Kimball remembers,“ I was blown away! I couldn’ t believe how powerful that one drop of oil was. I fell in love with the oils immediately, so I ordered a kit.” He later told his wife that he had purchased some essential oils, but neither of them knew how much those oils would change their lives.

Shortly after they were introduced to dōTERRA, Kimball and Yuko moved back to Japan. They began sharing there, and they feel blessed to have had Boyd’ s support and mentoring throughout their journey. While growing a business presents a myriad of challenges, Kimball and Yuko believe the greatest challenge for them was within themselves. Kimball explains,“ Looking back, the biggest challenge was to change what was inside of our minds and hearts. One of the biggest blessings of dōTERRA is being able to associate with other leaders who have fantastic, positive outsets on physical, mental, and financial health. We let this positivity rub off on us until we were able to change our fundamental way of thinking.” Now, Kimball and Yuko focus on maintaining a positive mindset as they approach both the joys and struggles of their business.
While Kimball and Yuko have experienced incredible changes in their own lives thanks to dōTERRA products, as well as the business, they feel most excited about the changes they see in other people’ s lives. They love seeing their team advance. They say,“ There is nothing more satisfying in our dōTERRA business than seeing our team leaders achieve a rank and be recognized for it. Your own personal rank is fun and satisfying, but your group leader’ s rank is the absolute high thrill and motivator!” As they work to help their team succeed, they have found consistent, effective communication to be a key factor in maintaining a good team connection. Yuko has especially worked hard to build strong relationships among their team.
In addition, Kimball and Yuko are passionate about how dōTERRA is bringing positive change to people throughout the world. Kimball says,“ I had the opportunity to go to Nepal on a dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® expedition. Immediately upon arriving, I could see and feel the massive impact that dōTERRA is having in regions where oil is produced. I was so impressed with the partners that dōTERRA has, including CHOICE Humanitarian and Days for Girls. We are proud to be part of dōTERRA and dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation as they partner with people who deliver love and light in the dark, dark places of the world.” As they look to their future, Kimball and Yuko are excited to continue sharing light through dōTERRA.
ESSENTIAL GROWTH COMPONENTS

“ Daily connection in which you communicate love and appreciation for that leader, and also excitement and joy from being able to work with that leader, has made all the difference.”
