Thanks to Satomi, our tech team at HBSO Community Challenge Tokyo Chapter 2021 (https://community.myhbx.org/) has very good chemistry to stimulate each other. Just one day before the re-stating the emergency in Tokyo area, we had a great wrap up in-person at Roppongi Hills.

This week is at a short story about Shohei. Ops, not that Shohei who voltage up in Anaheim.
From June, I am attending a Disruptive Strategy online course at Harvard Business School (HBS). (https://online.hbs.edu/courses/disruptive-strategy/?subject=Strategy)
Why? Now on you? Well Well Well,,
Pablo Picasso once said
Good artists copy,
Great artists steal.
Disruptive Strategy is famous framework by Professor Clayton (Clay) Christensen. I met him once before, but sadly he has moved to God’s place last year, after two times fight against cancer. I love to learn how HBS conduct 5 weeks course with Clay’s theory and eager to steal the essence.
To find out incredibly interesting and lots of fun. Contents are the key.
HBS said that still ragged from the similar one at Stanford (Stanford LEAD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCoCB5EGyak), but contents and…
Happiness does not live only having alone, but will bloom when we try to share
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Spring 2021 / Week 4
Came back home from two weeks stay in the Big Island, I found this bud came out from my happiness tree (dracaena). Yes, dracaena (we call “happiness tree” in Japan, Hong Kong and at least in Hawaii) may or may not have a chance to bloom once in 14 years or 15 years. This is much miracle than 17 years cicada boom now in the south side of the US. Literarily this was the second time in my life.
Physical and Mental health is not enough; Socially? Economically? We need these balanced and we can assess this theory to your company, and your society

Goats in the golf course gave me a huge hint and past lectures by Professor Clayton Christensen pushed me back.
As discussed, at the previous article at (https://masahironakagawa-272.medium.com/kona-wind-part-1-6fb529ed7309), I felt a huge gap between what I have seen at the Big island and my country, and moreover I became very healthy. Not only physically, I felt very healthy at every moment during my stay in Mauna Lani.
That area has plenty of native goats all over the place. Famous for their fecundity, their family circle are increasing year and year. Maybe no fatal natural enemy give them a heaven.
This year we see more than 11 troop of goats out there, and no one escape from the players. Hence, we…
Huge lesson from the Big Island, the largest ever — How my country is isolated (鎖国)
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Spring 2021 / Week 2
One week has passed from landing at Haneda airport, Still can not find a word on which I have watched and experienced in Kona, the Big island in Hawaii in early this month of May, then please allow me to set two session to explore with the facts which I found at this Part 1, and trying to figure out some action plans at the Part 2 later.
Gee, I thought Japan is ragged by this pandemic, but the reality is far bigger than I expected.
How I should do, What I should do for this? Usually I can summarize…
Could I become Genie for her? / A whole new world from Hawaii
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Spring 2021 / Week 1
Who can imagine that this situation of “state of emergency” fatigue would have continued until now? Japan may be the last OECD country to recover from this pandemic. I thought this session may be ended by March and may consider the next thesis, but the world in Japan has not been improved with no significant learning from this world disaster for a year; Hence I will continue this thesis with a much-upgraded scale.
This week is about Kisaki, who got a platinum ticket to join from one of the most narrow-gated corporates in Kyoto.
It was autumn 2019, when we deepened our dialogue with Kisaki, still in her sophomore year. Kisaki has great potential, but she thinks of herself as good…
Kanta 2.0 / Never give up
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Autumn-Winter 2020–2021 / Week 20
This week is at Kanta’s adventure.
He took my class for the first time just 6 years ago, when he joined the college. Even he was in a different department, I opened to the other students for the opportunity to touch a fun of learning business and management. Kanta happened to find a class between his other important class with my class, he just took it without any other reasons.
But his interest in the business has surged week by week.
As one of the first presenters of the last presentation, Kanta had full confidence and completed his 5 minutes…
As a simple message at the Commencement
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Autumn-Winter 2020–2021 / Week 19
This week was a commencement week. On Monday, I attended the ceremony in Kyoto and surrounded by many smiles which were brighter than the sunshine. These big smiles remind me a story about past leaders who were also like sunshine.
It was 1989, when Mr. Noboru Goto, Chairman of Tokyu Group passed away. …
Lesson from Joke, Wit, and James Corden

My SHUKATSU (job-hunting for undergraduates) Café through Zoom goes on, more than once a week. Getting into the further stage of the interview, the request from the students comes up to more detail on strategy and tactics.
At the application, most of the HR office of the corporate use AI for picking up remarkable students, the same as keywords pick-up at Google search, and I am teaching how picky words they should put into their applications.
After this process, the crucial part is an interview.
Treasures for my life, maintained, and recalled
Coaching from Sub Zero — fighting against COVID-19 with Zoom / Autumn-Winter 2020–2021 /Week 17
As most of my old friends know; I am a bit old-fashioned.
A long time ago, when I listened to “Stardust” by Nat “King” Cole (https://youtu.be/0Uenuie_4ac), my father came down to the living room with a smile to say “Masahiro, you like this song, that should be with my generation”.
My life in London between 1989 till 1992 has been given me many Unforgettable (https://youtu.be/JFyuOEovTOE) things for my life.
My parents love this city and particularly my father loves to walk down to Hyde Park every morning during their stay at a small flat. …
