What I liked and was memorable was the video clip of Bodhhisatva.
The video clip was wonderful, but what I thought was that actually doing this might be very very difficult. Especially making one person laugh from zero. If I had to do the man who starts to laugh, I will need to practice my laughter to sound like I am really having fun. Better the laughter is, it would be easier to make others laugh, too.
Less difficult thing to do may be to try to be the second one to start laughing. It isn't hard to imagine that two people laughing are easier to join than only one person laughing. This may be related not to leadership, but team-membership.
Another thing that was interesting in week one was the advice I got from you in speaking in front of others. The advice was that I was leaning on one of legs, and I continuously changed the leg I lean on so I seemed restless and insecure.
I want to give an excuse for that, which is that I wasn't ready enough and I kept thinking what I should talk, but from now on, I'll focus myself to stand in a symmetry and stable way in times of talking in front of people.
Week 1 was fulled with new things.

Hi Kengo,
返信削除Thanks for these great posts!
The World According to Garp is a great book! And you are reading it in English I hope.
And I appreciate that you are being honest about your impressions, that there was not so much that was new with the HBR article, but there is much that we can gain from reflecting upon our own strengths and weaknesses and making efforts to improve. Good stuff.
