"Who you are" makes the world a better place「世界に自分軸を輝かせよう」by Sayuri Sense

Hi everyone, Before we dive in, here's a quick question based on our last chat: Q) What was the one vision or goal you set for yourself at the beginning of this year? In our previous episodes, we have been working on our “10-Step Reflection Framework”—a gentle way to review your progress with confidence, rather than self-criticism. And today, we have a special gift for you: “Value Discovery Worksheets” to discover your authentic vision, taken directly from Lessons 1 & 2 of my Premium Identity Business Branding course. And we are diving into the final part of this framework—the powerful closing steps where your plan becomes reality. Steps 9 and 10, Schedule and Visualize, will help you anchor your vision into your daily life and elevate your energy. Sayuriです。

Hi everyone, Thank you for joining me for another episode! Before we dive in, here's a quick question based on our last chat. Q) What was the one vision or goal you set for yourself at the beginning of this year? In our previous episode, we began our “10-Step Reflection Framework”—a gentle way to review your progress with confidence, rather than self-criticism. We covered the first six steps: defining your vision, aligning it with your true self, identifying those you wish to contribute to, reviewing your time, focusing on what truly matters, and clearing what no longer serves you. Today, we are diving into the core of this framework — the moment where everything becomes clear. Steps 7 and 8, Identify and Simplify, will help you discover exactly what’s been holding you back and how to move forward with ease. Let’s get started! Sayuriです。１年の後半がスタートしましたね！ ここから半年間、私自身は心からの行動と言葉をさらに大切に過ごしていきたいと思っています。 あなたはどのように過ごしていきたいですか？ Podcast Vol.267【大切：ワンランク上の自分で、ヴィジョン実現】 後半をプランする10のステップ(7&8) 〜Mastering Your Vision — Identify What’s Holding You Back & Simplify Your Actions 今日は、前回に引き続き「10のステップ」のうち、の7番目と8番目のステップをお届けします。 今までの人生とは違う、新しいステージに入りヴィジョンが実現するために、１０のステップのうち一番大切なステップです。 1. 【最優先のヴィジョン】 まずは「たった一つ」のヴィジョンを明確にする。 Prioritize: Define your No. 1 Vision  2. 【本物のヴィジョンの確認】 自分の本質と一致しているかを確認する。 Align: Connect with your True Vision 3. 【ヴィジョンと貢献を繋げる】 周囲の人の幸せと自分のヴィジョンを繋げる。 Contribute: Identify who will be happy 4. 【レビュー】 過去6ヶ月の時間の使い方を振り返る。 Review: Evaluate your past half-year. 5.【フォーカス】 Focus: Align actions with your Vision ヴィジョン実現につながる「本質的な行動」を特定する。 6. 【それ以外を手放す】 Clear: Eliminate non-aligned actions 自分のエネルギーを減らしてしまう時間や考え方を手放す。 まで、前回のエピソードでご紹介しました。今回は、7個目と8個目をPick up! 【ブロックに気づく】 Identify: Pinpoint challenging yet necessary actions ヴィジョン実現のために必要だけれど、〇〇〇〇の高い行動を洗い出す。 ✔️ 何かヴィジョンがあるということは、○の状態と〇〇の状態にギャップがあるということです。 ✔️ そのため、ヴィジョンを実現するためには、自分の「〇〇〇」や「〇〇」の中で、何かの要素を変える必要があります。 ✔️ そこで、５番で特定した「ヴィジョンにつながる、本質的な行動」（または考え方）を、次の半年で〇〇していき、６番の不要な考え方や行動を〇〇していきます。 ✔️ その際に、なぜだか「ヴィジョンにつながる行動」を続けることが〇〇〇〇と感じるはずです！ ✔️ その行動を続ければ、必ずヴィジョンが実現するのに、その行動を続けることが〇〇〇から、ヴィジョンが実現しにくくなります。 ✔️ そこで、５番で選んだ「夢が叶うために必要な行動」だけれど、「〇〇〇〇が高い行動」が何かを洗い出して、気づくことができたらもう成功したようなものです。 ✔️ 例えば、英語が１年ずつ1レベル上がるロードマップがあります。 ✔️ 英語力は、誰でも上がります。能力や運ではなく、環境さえ作って、行動を継続できれば、必ずグローバル基準の英語力を育むことができます。 ✔️ では、なぜ、英語力をマスターするのは難しいのでしょう？番組で解説しています。 8.【仕組みをシンプルに】 Simplify: Make necessary actions easy エネルギーをすり減らさず行動できるように、環境をデザインする。 ✔️ ヴィジョン実現のために、「〇〇〇〇が高い行動」が何か特定できたら、どのようにしたら少しでも〇〇しやすくなるか、〇〇〇〇を〇〇〇〇さずその行動を継続できようになるかを考え、〇〇や〇〇〇をデザインしなおします。 ✔️ 英語リーディング読解力・リスニング力・スピーキング力・ライティング力アップのために工夫できることは？ ✔️ 忙しい方々向けの時間の作り方は？ Q）「夢が叶うために必要な行動」だけれど、「〇〇〇〇が高い行動」は何かありますか？ Q）自分にとって〇〇〇〇が高いことを、楽に、〇〇に、より”J〇〇〇〇〇”（〇〇）を感じられるようにするために、どんな工夫ができますか？ Love, Sayuri 【質の高い時間の使い方で、ヴィジョン実現】後半をプランする10のステップ(5&6)〜 Podcast Vol.265: Mastering Your Time for Vision: 10 Steps to Plan Your Second Half

“It's not how you look, but who you are.” “Don’t judge people by appearance!” I am broadcasting from Australia. I had a heart-to-heart talk about the importance of not judging by appearances. One Australian mother showed me a photo of her grown-up son—a muscular man with tattoos. But beneath that appearance is the most delicate, kind soul. She shared how he once tried to save his dinner when he was young and bring it to a homeless person he met while traveling in the US. It reminded me of my son’s friends since he went to an international school – though his friends may look tall and strong western men, they are incredibly gentle and sensitive inside. They may not look Japanese, but they grew up in Japan, and their heart is truly Japanese. Connecting over these shared stories was so heartwarming. I’ll be sharing more from conversations I had in Australia—from parenting (identity and choosing paths) and mental health to business and pension systems—just to cherish how beautiful it is to connect with people. こんにちは、Sayuriです。３１年間行き来しているオーストラリア便りをお届けします。バイロンベイから３都市を移動しています。行きのフライトは、空席がたくさんある状態でした。日本からオーストラリアへの渡航者が減っている印象です。 （実際の数字は、番組でご紹介しています。） オーストラリアの友人たちだけでなく、アルゼンチン、インド、ブラジル、ソマリア、マレーシア、そしてヨーロッパの国々の方々。世界中の人々と交わす言葉から、「世界の今」を肌で感じます。教育・子育て（進路）・メンタルヘルス・AI・年金システム・税金・健康・経済・起業などなど、本当に様々なトピックと生き方について、様々な方々と英語で対話する機会がありました。

Hi everyone, Thank you for joining me for another episode! Before we dive in, here's a quick question based on our last chat. Q) What was the one vision or goal you set for yourself at the beginning of this year? In our previous episode, we began our “10-Step Reflection Framework”—a gentle way to review your progress with confidence, rather than self-criticism. We covered the first four steps: defining your vision, aligning it with your true self, identifying those you wish to contribute to, and reviewing your time over the past six months. Today, we are moving into the heart of the process. We will be covering steps five and six: Focus and Clear. My goal is to help you transform both your successes and your setbacks into incredible opportunities for growth. Let's get started! Sayuriです。一年の折り返し、いかがお過ごしですか？

In today's episode, we will cover the third to the fifth steps. My goal is to help you transform both your successes and your setbacks into incredible opportunities for growth.

Hi everyone, Here’s a question for you today! Q) What was the vision or goal you set at the beginning of this year? Whether you've been working on your vision independently, or using our “New Year Journal” or the “Identity Business Branding®” text, I believe now is the perfect time for us to pause and reflect on the first half of the year. Today, I'm excited to share a “10-Step Reflection Framework” designed to help you review your progress—not with pressure or self-criticism, but with confidence. Whether things have gone smoothly or you've faced challenges, it's your mindset—how you approach your current situation—that truly matters. In this episode, we will cover the first three steps. My goal is to help you transform both your successes and your setbacks into incredible opportunities for growth. こんにちは！Sayuriです。 皆さんは、一年のはじめに立てた目標やヴィジョン、覚えていますか？ New year journalやアイデンティティービジネスブランディング®︎テキストに取り組んだ方も、このタイミングで上半期を振り返る機械に慣れると幸いです。 スムーズにいっていても、うまくいかなくても、現状にどんな考えで向き合うかという姿勢の方が大切です。 自信を失うことなく、失敗も成功体験もどちらも、自分が成長できる素晴らしい機会と捉えられるようになる「１０のステップ」をご紹介します。

Hello again, welcome back! In today’s episode, I want to share the rest of two communication tips that can truly unlock your child's potential and shape who they become — not just as successful students, but as human beings. These are the insights I've gathered over 30 years, watching children grow from toddlers into young adults across both Japanese and Western education systems. Those three tips are: #1 — Build their confidence only through their actions. #2 — Embrace the power of consequence. #3 — Separate their identity from their outcomes. Let's dive in. 皆さんこんには！Sayuriです。６月はリセットの月。１年のはじめにたてた目標やプランは順調に進んでいますか？この1年間を振り返って、後半に向けて軌道修正するのに絶好のタイミングですね。 命の種（アイデンティティー）を輝かせるコミュニケーションシリーズ、子どもの可能性を引き出す大人の在り方・声かけTOP3の残り２つ目と３つ目のポイントをご紹介します。

Hi everyone, I’m Sayuri. Do you ever share your dreams, or listen to someone else’s? Today, I'll share a roadmap to align your core and accelerate your dreams by elevating your communication stage. As your conversation expands from yourself to others, and to the world, your dreams will naturally come true. 皆さん、こんにちは！夢を誰かに話すことはありますか？ また、誰かの夢を聞くことはありますか？

Hi everyone, welcome back! Today, I'm diving into one of our most requested topics: “The Secret to Thriving in Parenting and Career Without Burning Out. Do you ever feel like there's simply not enough time, energy, or space in your heart to handle both? Believe me, I've been there. Today, I want to share the one ultimate answer I found.

I've curated 10 English proficiency levels

Hi, I’m your host Sayuri. I recently attended one of Asia's largest global innovation conferences “SusHi Tec Tokyo”. It was an incredibly high-energy space where the world's leading experts, entrepreneurs, and investors gathered all together for collaborations. I realized something profound: if you are currently battling challenges, setbacks, or what feel like disadvantages, they might just become your greatest assets. We are entering an era where you can truly change the game. Today, let's explore the possibilities and risks of AI together, and see how we can turn those challenges into our greatest strengths. 皆さんこんにちは、Sayuriです。 先日、アジア最大級のグローバル・イノベーション・カンファレンス「Sushi Tech Tokyo」に招待いただき、参加してきました。会場は、世界中の最先端テクノロジー、専門家、起業家、そして投資家たちが集まり、コラボレーションがその場で瞬時に決まっていくような、エネルギッシュな空間でした。 ただ、目的を持たずに歩くと圧倒されて疲れてしまうほど、情報の密度が濃く、エネルギッシュな場所でもあります。最近、教育やキャリアのためのAIシステムを開発している私にとっても、インスピレーションに溢れる宝庫でした。「AI x 未来」についての気づきを皆さんともシェアしたいと思います。

Hi, welcome to another episode ! Today, I'd like to delve into another crucial element that defines who we are. The title of today’s episode is “The Uniqueness of Japanese Identity.” I visited Kyoto the other day and spent some time in the stillness of Tadasu-no-mori. In that 2,000-year-old sacred forest, time seemed to stand still. I felt a profound sense of peace—the essence of a delicate aesthetic like Wabi-sabi. This spirit is woven into every film, product, and service we create; it is the very soul of our identity. So, what comes to mind when you hear the phrase “Japanese Identity”? こんにちは。Sayuriです。前回は、国際イベントでの会話で対話で大切なことについて一緒に考えてみましたが、もう一つ大切なこと、それが、今日のエピソードにもつながります。

Let me ask you a question today — what do you think is the most important thing in conversations at international parties? As Australia and Japan marks the 50th anniversary of our Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation in 2026, I've been reflecting on my own journey of over 30 years between the two countries. Recently, at a networking event at the Australian Embassy, I was reminded of something truly important. Today, I'd love to share the one key element that creates meaningful and genuine connections.

Hi everyone! I finally had a quiet moment to reflect on 18 years of parenting — a journey that felt both long and incredibly fast. Today, I’d like to walk you through the key milestones that shaped my sons’ paths, from ages 1 to 18, and I hope you find something useful for your own family’s journey. Ages 1-6: Laying the foundation through language and connection. Ages 7-9: Reading stories and discovering character and identity. Ages 10-12: Choosing the environment that nurtures who they truly are — and age 12 was a major turning point, where the path forward became clear. Ages 13-18: Cultivating passions and building their unique niche — and age 18 was the ultimate turning point, where every decision of the past 18 years came together. Each stage brought its own decisions, challenges, and discoveries — and every choice was made with one goal in mind: nurturing the 10 skills within them. 皆さん、こんにちは！京都から福岡、そして湘南に戻り、やっと少し振り返る時間がありました。１９歳になったばかりの次男が選んだ日本の理系大学受験と、２１歳の長男がたどったインターナショナルスクールからアメリカの大学入学まで、人生を左右するような「分岐点」を思い出し、感慨深い時間でした。

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying this early Spring energy. Today I will share some inspiring messages from the film Train Dreams, which was nominated for 4 Academy Awards in 2026, starring Australian actor Joel Edgerton. I first met him at the Melbourne Film Festival more than 20 years ago only for a brief moment and I felt his magnetic presence immediately. This film left a lasting impression on me — the cinematography and color work were truly beautiful. I hope you will enjoy the messages about life from the film even more after listening to this episode. 別れと出会いの季節、春

Olivia Dean / CBS Photo Hi everyone, I just watched The Grammy Award 2026. It was again inspiring in many ways. I just felt one love, respect, integrity and high energy from all the amazing artists. This February, as we celebrate love, let’s remember that love is also in the stories we tell, the identities we honor, and the gratitude we share. The 2026 Grammy speeches showed us exactly that. Hope you gain power from today’s episode!

Hi everyone! I’m your host, Sayuri. As we wrap up the year, I've had the opportunity to connect with many inspiring people across different industries around the world. It has reminded me how important it is for accurate information to reach those who truly need it. In our last episode, we welcomed Ben Sensei from Bond University, one of the only two private universities in Australia, to talk about the differences between public and private universities. We've also been hearing from alumni, parents, educators, and students through social media and emails, and it's been wonderful to feel these connections growing through this podcast. 皆さん、こんにちは。Sayuriです。今年は世界のさまざまな業界で活躍されている多くの素晴らしい方々との新しい出会いがありました。その中で、正しい情報が、それを本当に必要としている方にきちんと届くことの大切さを、改めて強く実感しています。 今回も、私立大学と公立大学の違いをご紹介するために、オーストラリアの大学の中でも数少ない私立大学であるBond University（ボンド大学）から、Benさんをゲストにお迎えしています。卒業生の皆さまから番組宛にメールも届き、このPodcastを通して少しずつ深まってきているのを感じています。 今回は入学から卒業、そしてその先のキャリアまでの流れについて、より具体的にご紹介していきます。

Hi everyone, it's currently the university and high school entrance exam season here in Japan. For students taking exams for competitive schools, it can be very intense. Not only in Japan, but choosing a path is challenging for young adults anywhere in the world. Today, we are excited to welcome a heartwarming guest from Bond University, a private university located in the Gold Coast. I am an alumni ambassador for The University of Queensland, which is a government university, and I am very curious to learn about the differences between government and private universities, as well as how we can successfully guide our Japanese students through Bond University. I hope this podcast can help share fair and detailed information to support you and your children's or students' success. 日本は受験シーズンですね。皆さんは18歳のこの時期、どのような思い出がありますか？私自身は、18歳の次男とは全く違うオーストラリアの大学の道を選んだ頃を思い出すとともに、日本、アメリカ、オーストラリアの大学のそれぞれの私立・公立の受験制度の違いを二世代で体験できたことから、学びの多い時期となっています。 皆さんこんにちは！ナビゲーターのSayuriです。私自身はThe University of Queenslandのアンバサダーではありますが、今年は他のオーストラリアの大学の卒業生ともたくさんお話をする機会がありました。 今日はフラットで正しい情報をお届けし、一人ひとりが自分にとってベストな進路とキャリアパスを描けるようサポートしたいと思います。今回は少しタイプの違う大学、ボンド大学から、Assistant ProfessorでありBond Business SchoolのプログラムディレクターでもいらっしゃるBen Hayden-Smithさんをゲストにお迎えします。

Hi everyone! We've entered the busiest month of the year—I hope you're all doing well and getting ready to wrap things up! The other day, while I was having a meeting by the lake, I came across an article in an English newspaper about the famous Japanese singer Yumi Matsutoya, also known as Yuming. The article focused on her thoughts about AI and creativity. She shared some really deep insights about what creators should do in this AI era. Today, I'd like to introduce a part of her English interview. Hope you find the episode insightful! 師走に突入して、急に慌ただしくなってきた感じがします。皆さんはいかがお過ごしですか？ こんにちは！ Sayuriです。今日は、シンガー松任谷由実（ユーミン）の英語の記事をJapan Timesで読んでいて、この番組のテーマにもぴったりで素敵だなと感じたのでご紹介したいと思います。
