Media Coverage [Interview] “The Science of Encouragement” by Mr. Yanagisawa of Kayac, Inc. on note Lately, I’ve been devoting a great deal of time to the act of “encouraging” others. During this time, I was interviewed by Mr. Yanasa, CEO of Kayac, Inc., on the topic of “The Science of Encouragement,” where he asked me about my experiences with being encouraged.
I view “encouragement” as “an act that raises a person’s emotional energy level.” Obviously, the words that resonate with someone depend on their current energy level, so I’ve shared my thoughts on the four levels I’ve identified.
I'm not actually conducting that kind of research, so I'm just saying that's what I think ^^;
