Online Lecture @ Benesse

Today I gave an online lecture at Benesse.

Since it was a request from Mr. Kobayashi at Benesse—who’s always been so helpful—I didn’t think I could turn it down, especially since it’s an in-house training session… So, I ended up agreeing to it without much thought, but I hear there will be as many as 770 attendees.

"Just the employees alone make up that many? Big companies are really something. The scale was totally different from what I’d imagined for a training session! Anyway, 770 is a great number! Since I was born on Tanabata, I have a special connection to the number '7' (*^^*)"
