    Go Green in NAGANO Symposium Feature in KURA

    Back in October, I was asked to be a panelist along with three others at the Go Green in NAGANO Symposium put on by Nagano Prefecture.

    Self-Consciousness

    I came across this short passage on “consciousness” from a paper written by Kanzō Uchimura that made me think about how quickly I can become overly focused on myself “Self-Conscious” and in turn forget about God.

  • Four Qualities of Empathy

    Recently I have been thinking about how drastically different it is to be around people who have a natural or learned ability to show empathy vs. people who cannot or will not show empathy.This little clip from Berné Brown pretty much nails it. There are Four Qualities of Empathy:– Perspective-taking The ability to take someone…

  • The ingredient we start with

    The ingredient we start with

    I think this idea can be applied to many business models other than Intel’s silicon wafer. Human beings have a unique, God-given ability to add/create value through what we create in the world. I found this quote by the former Intel chairman Andy Bryant last year when I toured the Intel Museum in Santa Clara…

    A new Mayor for Matsumoto – Yoshinao Gaun

    Congratulations to our newly elected Mayor of Matsumoto – Mr. Yoshinao Gaun. Mr. Gaun and his team worked hard for 4 years to build a “bottom-up” campaign that puts the needs and future wellbeing of the citizens of Matsumoto (including Norikura Kogen & the rest of the Azumi area) in on the conversation about where we…

  • The Infinite Game

    If you wake up every day with a finite outcome as your only goal, I think it’s fair to say that your life will be not only predictable but also decidedly difficult. Why is will it be difficult? It will be difficult because most things in life just don’t work that way. Most things in…

    A Powerful Force

    The more empathy I have, the less annoying other people are.

  • Too popular

    Too popular

    There is “popular” and then there is “too popular”. Popular is not bad. There are lots of really good things that are popular. Like chocolate and vanilla ice cream. They are the most popular ice cream flavors and that’s good. I don’t think anyone would argue that they are too popular. So what is too…

  • Tell them what they are worth

    Tell them what they are worth

    People love to tell each other what they want, and so do mediocre marketers. And a lot of them also spend excessive amounts of time and money trying to convince you of what you want as well. Case in point, the Slap Chopper. Average marketers love to find ways of convincing people they want that…

    Snowboard Attendants​​

    It’s time to step it up with SA (Snowboard Attendants) this season. The project my friend Michiyo Hashimoto and I started talking about two seasons ago is slowly starting to take shape. I am a leadership development trainer. I believe people are sacred and worth more than anything. Even when we try making a good…

    スノーボードアテンダント(SA)

    今年Snowboard Attendants(SA)が次のステップに行くように頑張ります。2シーズン前友人Michiyo Hashimotoと一緒に考えた事が少しずつ形になって来ています。SBN記事はこちら 僕はリーダー育成をしています。人づくりはどんな事よりも尊いと思っています。どんな良いプログラム・方法・組織を作ろうとしても最終的に人に掛かって来ます。人は一番可能性のある財産です。ルール、ポリシー、お金で解決することは表面的なことしかできません。 人は尊い存在であるという価値観を元にして、自分探し、人と人の関係、そして人と社会の関係をスノーボードのヨコノリ感覚や知識が刺激と貢献になる事を狙います。 “Ride well, Live well” 今シーズン乗鞍でもSAクリニックを開催したいと思っています。興味のある方声をおかけください。

    Practicing leadership

    There is an endless flow of content on the topic of leadership. You could literally spend the rest of your life studying leadership and still never be sure you were doing it right because a lot of people think that there is a right and therefore wrong way to do it. Over the past few…
