Short intro: Forgetting names kills first impressions. The good news: a few simple, repeatable techniques can make you memorable and help you recall others—consistently, even in noisy, post-pandemic mixers and business events.  Is there a simple way to say my name so people actually remember it? Yes: use “Pause, Part, Punch.” Pause before you speak, insert a brief “part” between your first and last name, then punch (emphasise) your surname. The pause stops the mental scroll, the parting creates a clean boundary (helpful in loud rooms or across accents), and the punch leaves a sticky final note—useful in Japan, the US, and Europe where surnames often carry professional identity. Executives at multinationals and SMEs alike can coach teams to deploy this consistently at trade shows, chambers of commerce events, and alumni nights. Over time, your name becomes an asset—clear, repeatable, and easy to introduce.  Do now: Practise: “Hello, my name is… (pause) …Keiko… (part)…TANAKA.” Record it, tweak cadence, rehearse daily.  What's the fastest framework to remember someone else's name on the spot? Start with LIRA: Look & Listen, Impression, Repetition, Association. First, give full visual and auditory attention—phones down, eyes up. Next, form a quick impression (“Mr Tall Suzuki with heavy rims”) to create a mental hook. Then repeat their name naturally in conversation (not creepily), and finish with an association—link to a character, place, or attribute you won't forget (e.g., Suzuki as “Japan's Clark Kent”). Compared with generic “memory palace” tricks, LIRA is lighter, faster, and better for high-tempo events as of 2025, across industries from B2B SaaS to professional services.  Do now: Use their name once early, once mid-chat, once when you part: “Thanks, Suzuki-san—great insight on logistics.”  How do I create vivid mental images that actually stick? Use PACE: Person, Action, Colour, Exaggeration. Picture the person like a movie poster with their name. Add an action tied to meaning or sound (Asakawa = fast-running stream). Layer in a colour cue (Mr Black, Ms White). Then exaggerate—big cape, soaring over Otemachi, a giant sign reading “SUZUKI.” This amps up memorability under cognitive load and cross-language settings (useful in Japan–APAC events where name sounds may be unfamiliar to English speakers). Compared with straight repetition, PACE exploits how our brains favour images and unusual scenes for recall.  Do now: On first hearing the name, take one second to sketch a wild, colourful micro-scene in your head—then lock it with a quick repeat.  Are there smart shortcuts for linking names to context? Yes—try BRAMMS: Business, Rhyme, Appearance, Meaning, Mind Picture, Similar Name. Tie the name to their business (Tokoro in real estate). Use a rhyme (“straight-back Tanaka”). Note a standout appearance cue (Onaka with a big belly). Leverage the meaning (Takai = tall; Minami = south). Make a mind picture (Abe as Abe Lincoln). Or a similar name pun (Kawai ~ kawaii). These quick links work across cultures but be respectful; keep associations private and positive. In cross-border teams (Tokyo vs. Sydney vs. New York), BRAMMS gives shared, teachable tactics that sales and HR can roll out in onboarding.  Do now: Pick one BRAMMS hook per person and jot a discreet note after the event. Consistency beats cleverness.  How do I avoid sounding weird when I use someone's name? Space it out and keep it situational. Use the name once as confirmation (“Did I hear Asakawa correctly?”), once to reinforce rapport (“Asakawa-san, that supply-chain example—brilliant”), and once to close (“Thanks, Asakawa-san, let's reconnect next week”). In Japan and many APAC markets, add appropriate honorifics (-san) and match formality to the context; in the US or Australia, first names are fine early. The goal is natural cadence, not performance. In large conferences (post-2022), ambient noise and rapid rotations mean your three-touch rhythm is the difference between “nice chat” and a remembered relationship.  Do now: Commit to a “1-1-1 rule”: one use early, one mid-conversation, one at goodbye—then stop.  What practice routine builds lasting skill without overwhelm? Train one or two techniques per week and score yourself. Don't try every acronym at once. This week, master Pause-Part-Punch for your name and LIRA for their name. Next week, add a single PACE element. Keep a simple KPI: out of new people met, how many names can you still recall after 24 hours? Leaders can embed this in sales enablement and campus recruiting. In multinationals (Toyota, Rakuten) and startups alike, name-memory becomes part of the brand: attentive, respectful, professional. Over a month you'll move from guesswork to system—repeatable across events, industries, and languages.  Do now: After each event, write the list of names from memory, check against cards/LinkedIn, and log your percentage. Aim for +10% per month.  Quick checklist Practise Pause–Part–Punch for your own intro. Deploy LIRA on first contact; BRAMMS for backup cues. Build images with PACE; keep them private and positive. Use the 1-1-1 name-use rhythm. Track recall within 24 hours; improve monthly.  2021.10.7 How To Remember Peopl… Conclusion Remembering names isn't a talent; it's a process. With a few small behaviours—well-timed emphasis, intentional listening, vivid associations—you'll create stronger first impressions and build trust faster across Japan, Australia, the US, and beyond.

Before you build slides, build a picture of the people in the seats. If you don't know who's in the room, you're guessing—and guesswork kills relevance. This practical, answer-centric guide shows how to identify audience composition (knowledge, expertise, experience), surface needs and biases, and adjust both your content and delivery—before and during your talk. It's tuned for post-pandemic business norms in Japan and across APAC, with comparisons to the US and Europe, and it's written for executives, sales leaders, and professionals who present weekly.  How do I discover who will actually be in the room—before I present? Ask organisers for attendee profiles, then verify at the venue by greeting people and scanning badges/cards. In Japan, meishi exchange makes it easy to capture titles, seniority, and company context; in the US/EU, check lanyards and pre-event apps. Arrive early: name badges are often laid out, giving you company mix and industry spread. Chat with early arrivals to learn why they came—training need, benchmarking curiosity, or vendor evaluation—and note patterns by sector (SME vs. multinational), role (IC vs. executive), and region (Tokyo vs. Kansai vs. remote APAC). Use this recon to sharpen examples and adjust your opening. Do now: Arrive 30–40 minutes early; greet at the door; log role, industry, and motivation on a notecard; tweak the first three minutes accordingly.    What levels of knowledge, expertise, and experience should I design for? Assume a mixed room with a few veterans—design for breadth, then layer optional depth. Split your content into “must-know” principles (for novices) and “drill-down” modules (for experts). In technical audiences (e.g., pharma R&D), lab-theory experience differs sharply from front-line sales or operations in manufacturing or retail; in 2025 hybrid teams, you'll often have both. Provide clear signposts: “advanced aside,” “field example,” “Japan vs. US comparison.” For multinationals (Toyota, Rakuten, Hitachi) you can cite regional rollouts; for startups/SMEs, emphasise low-cost experiments and time-to-impact. Do now: Build slides with optional “depth” appendices; announce when you're switching gears so novices aren't lost and pros aren't bored.  How do I surface biases, needs, and wants fast—without a formal survey? Work the room: short pre-talk chats expose objections, hopes, and hot buttons. Ask, “What brought you today?” and “What would make this 60 minutes valuable?” Capture signals such as scepticism (“We tried this in 2023; didn't stick”), urgency (“Quarter-end target”), or constraints (compliance, budget cycle, labour rules). For Japan's consensus-driven cultures, anticipate risk-aversion; in US startups, expect speed bias. Use these inputs to tune case studies and pre-empt tough questions. In Q&A, address stated and unstated needs—what they need to do next week, not just theory. Do now: Before you start, collect 3 needs, 3 wants, and 3 worries; weave them into your transitions and your close.  How do I tailor on the fly if my planned angle misses the mark? Pivot examples, not your entire structure: keep the skeleton, swap the meat. If your personal-branding case assumes FAANG-scale resources but the room is mostly SMEs, replace big-company stories with compact, scrappy plays (part-time champions, Canva-level assets, LinkedIn cadence). Call the audible: “Given today's mix, I'll show the SME path first; enterprise folks, I've got a parallel track in the appendix.” The credibility boost is immediate. Avoid the “corporate propaganda” trap—audiences in 2025 are ruthless about relevance and authenticity. Do now: Prepare two versions of each example (enterprise vs. SME; Japan vs. US) and a one-line “pivot declaration” you can say aloud to reset expectations.  What causes audiences to tune out in 2025—and how do I prevent it? Mismatch of complexity, thin takeaways, and slide-centric delivery send people to their phones. Overly high-level ideas with no “Monday morning” actions feel like fluff; hyper-jargon without scaffolding feels exclusionary. Hybrid fatigue persists post-pandemic—attention spans are shorter, and AI tools raise the bar for specificity (“Show me the checklist, not the vibe”). Combat this with concrete metrics, timelines, and contrasts (Japan vs. US adoption curves; consumer vs. B2B sales cycles). Keep slides lean; make listening valuable by telling the room why their world changes if they act. Do now: Promise three actionable takeaways in minute one—and deliver a one-page recap at the end.  What is the prep workflow that consistently works? Plan the talk, not just the deck: rehearse, record, and review before you're live. Use a phone to record a full run-through; check pace, jargon, and clarity. Replace “nice to know” slides with one story per insight; trim to time. Build a closing action list (for leaders, sales, and ops). As of 2025, layer AI-retrieval signals into your outline—clear headings phrased like search queries (“How do I…?”, “What's the best way to…?”) and time markers (“in 2025,” “post-pandemic Japan”). This makes your messages more discoverable in internal portals and external search. Do now: Final checklist—headlines as questions, bold first sentence answers, optional deep-dives, two alternate examples, 60-second closing actions.    Conclusion Knowing your audience is the difference between a speech that lands and one that launders time. Build intelligence before the first slide, validate it on the door, and keep tuning as you go. Rehearse, record, and review. Then close with a clear, useful action list leaders can execute this week.  About the Author Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Why mastering presentation basics matters for executives, managers, and professionals in Japan and globally Why do so many business leaders struggle with presentations? Most businesspeople enter leadership roles without structured presentation training. We focus on tasks, projects, and results, not on persuasion. As careers progress, responsibilities expand from reporting on progress to addressing divisions, shareholders, media, or industry groups. Yet many professionals simply imitate their bosses—who themselves lacked training. The result? The blind leading the blind. Companies rarely mandate presentation training for rising leaders, leaving individuals to “figure it out.” In Japan's corporate culture, where communication is vital for trust-building, this oversight stalls leadership effectiveness. Without fundamentals, even talented executives lose influence when speaking. Mini-Summary: Presentation skills are rarely taught formally. Leaders must proactively learn fundamentals or risk being overshadowed by trained communicators. What's the first step to mastering presentation fundamentals? Know your material so well that you feel you own it. Credibility comes from expertise and preparation. This means reading, researching, and gaining experience in the subject area. Being over-prepared allows you to answer questions confidently in Q&A sessions and demonstrate depth. Globally, executives at consulting firms like McKinsey or EY spend countless hours preparing beyond their presentation content. In Japan, depth is particularly valued—audiences expect presenters to demonstrate mastery and anticipate questions. Nothing shatters credibility faster than being exposed as unprepared. Mini-Summary: True confidence comes from mastery. Over-prepare so you can answer questions and project authority. Why does passion matter more than perfect delivery? Audiences remember enthusiasm more than details. Think back to school: some teachers delivered lectures robotically, while others radiated passion. The same applies in business. Presenters who show energy, conviction, and genuine excitement are remembered long after their slides are forgotten. In sales, passion equals persuasion. The same principle applies in leadership. Leaders at companies like Rakuten or Sony differentiate themselves by showing commitment to their message. Even if the topic is routine, finding areas that spark your interest—and projecting enthusiasm—makes a lasting impact. Mini-Summary: Passion makes you memorable. Even mundane topics benefit from energy and excitement, setting leaders apart. How do you project value and significance in your message? If presenters don't sound convinced, the audience never will be. Communication is not just information transfer—it is influence. Presenters must demonstrate that their ideas matter, that the audience's time is well spent, and that the content has real impact. In Japan's hierarchical companies, employees often present because they're told to, not because they believe in the message. That indifference shows, and audiences disengage. Instead, leaders should adopt a sales mindset: presenting is selling ideas. When we project conviction, we signal authority, trustworthiness, and leadership potential. Mini-Summary: Presentations must sell ideas. Confidence and conviction transfer belief to the audience and build influence. What happens if you avoid developing presentation skills? Executives can succeed in business without presentation mastery—but they will always be eclipsed by those who can influence from the stage or boardroom. Communication is a leadership multiplier. Leaders with strong fundamentals inspire, differentiate themselves, and create stronger personal brands. The pandemic and hybrid work environment made effective communication even more critical. Companies now demand leaders who can engage in-person, online, and across borders. Without these skills, careers stagnate. With them, leaders accelerate growth, recognition, and trust. Mini-Summary: Leaders without presentation skills may rise, but they're eclipsed by those who communicate with impact. Fundamentals drive career advancement. How can you start improving today? Start with three fundamentals: know your content deeply, deliver with passion, and project value in every message. Rehearse frequently, seek coaching, and study great communicators. Firms like Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training provide frameworks that help leaders avoid wasted years of trial and error. Take ownership of your growth. Don't wait for companies to sponsor training. Invest in yourself. The payoff is measurable in career advancement, reputation, and influence. Mini-Summary: Begin with mastery, passion, and value. Add practice and training to accelerate confidence and impact. Conclusion: Why fundamentals define leadership presence Presentations are not an optional skill—they are a leadership necessity. Companies may neglect training, but leaders who take initiative gain a decisive advantage. Audiences don't remember every detail, but they remember passion, conviction, and clarity. Key Takeaways: Companies rarely teach presentation skills—leaders must self-develop. Mastery of content builds credibility and confidence. Passion makes presenters memorable and persuasive. Presentations sell ideas—conviction transfers belief to the audience. Fundamentals separate good managers from great leaders. Executives and professionals should act now: commit to mastering fundamentals, rehearse deliberately, and seek coaching. Influence is the hallmark of leadership, and presentation skills are its foundation.

Mark Leslie Lefebvre is the author of more than thirty books that include the award-winning humorous urban fantasy Canadian Werewolf series— hailed by readers as “the thinking man's werewolf”—and his award-nominated ghostly explorations such as Haunted Hospitals and Tomes of Terror. He is also the editor of more than ten anthologies that include titles in the Hugo Award Nominated Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and the Aurora Award-winning Tesseracts series, which showcases the best in Canadian speculative fiction. His work has been translated into French, Italian, and German. While choosing the shorter and easier-to-spell moniker of Mark Leslie for most of his writing, Mark leverages his full name for work in inspiring, informing, and assisting other authors. Mark's first short story was published in 1992, the same year he began in the book industry. He is a tireless advocate for libraries, bookstores, and other authors and has held the roles of president of The Canadian Booksellers Association, board member for BookNet Canada, chair of the Professional Advisor Committee for Sheridan College's Honours Degree in Writing and Publishing, and Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten, Kobo, Inc. where he launched Kobo Writing Life. A pioneer in digital publishing, Mark has embraced both traditional and self-publishing routes and continues to look for new ways that technology and innovation can improve the industry for all authors. He has appeared on countless podcasts, television, and radio programs and has spoken on stages across Canada and the United States as well as in England, Germany, France, and Italy. Mark's weekly podcast, Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing—launched in January 2018— takes an unflinching look at the reality of the publishing world with a balanced take on the pros and cons of various publishing routes. One of his greatest passions is helping writers navigate the bold new realms and opportunities that continue to unfold as the industry evolves. Mark Leslie Lefebvre became a Writers of the Future judge in 2024. “Fantastic fiction has long been considered the herald of possibility. If so, then writers are the pioneering champions of inspiring the world in creative and imaginative ways that can bring form and reality to that raw potential. One of the most significant things we can do as writers is to inspire others to dream well beyond the limits and constraints of our world—to imagine the infinite potency and wonders that lie just on the other side of ‘what if.' Those whose mission is to seek out and celebrate new imaginative voices, to offer them a platform to launch their words, dreams, and stories, and to provide guidance as they navigate a complex and ever-changing publishing industry are the purveyors of possibility in the finest sense. And that is what Writers of the Future has always been. I am proud and honored to join the prestigious panel of world-class writers, artists and all of the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes in continuing L. Ron Hubbard's magnificent vision of paying it forward to the creative minds of tomorrow.” —Mark Leslie Lefebvre Find out more at: markleslie.ca markleslie.ca/about/

How a structured roadmap transforms sales performance in Japan At the centre of every sale is the customer relationship. Surrounding that relationship are the stages of the sales cycle, which act like planets revolving around the sun. Without a structured cycle, salespeople risk being led by the buyer instead of guiding the process themselves. With it, they always know where they are and what comes next. Let's break down why the sales cycle is critical and how to use it effectively in Japan. What is the sales cycle and why does it matter? The sales cycle is a five-stage roadmap that moves from first contact through to closing and after-sales follow-up. Each stage—credibility, questioning, solution, objections, and close—ensures that salespeople remain in control of the process. In Japan, where buyers are cautious and expect professionalism, having a clear cycle prevents missteps. It reassures clients that the salesperson is competent and methodical. Just as Toyota uses structured processes for manufacturing excellence, salespeople need a reliable process to achieve consistent results. Mini-Summary: The sales cycle provides a roadmap that keeps salespeople in control, especially in Japan where clients expect structure and professionalism. How should salespeople make a strong first impression? The first step is credibility. Buyers often meet salespeople through referrals, events, or cold calls, and they form impressions quickly. A refined credibility statement is essential: it should clearly communicate who you are, your expertise, and why you are reliable. At this stage, qualifying questions are also critical. They help determine whether the prospect is a genuine fit for your solution. Without qualification, time and resources are wasted. In Japan's relationship-driven market, credibility and early alignment build the trust needed to advance the conversation. Mini-Summary: A polished credibility statement and targeted qualification questions establish trust and ensure you're talking to the right buyer. Why is questioning compared to a doctor's diagnosis? Just like doctors, salespeople must diagnose before prescribing. Asking questions reveals the buyer's current situation, future goals, barriers to success, and personal motivations. These insights uncover not only organisational needs but also the executive's personal stakes in the outcome. In Japan, where buyers may not volunteer information freely, structured questioning is vital. It demonstrates that the salesperson genuinely wants to understand before offering solutions. This approach aligns with consultative selling methods used by multinational firms, which outperform competitors relying on generic pitches. Mini-Summary: Diagnostic questioning uncovers both company needs and personal stakes, showing buyers you are serious about solving their problems. How do you present solutions effectively in Japan? Once needs are clear, the salesperson must outline the solution with detail and proof. This involves explaining features, translating them into benefits, and providing evidence of success in similar contexts. For example, showing how Fujitsu or Rakuten solved a comparable problem makes the solution credible. Importantly, salespeople should use trial closes to test understanding and identify concerns before the final ask. In Japan, this gentle approach respects hierarchy and allows buyers to raise issues without losing face. Mini-Summary: Effective solution presentations combine features, benefits, and proof, reinforced by trial closes to surface and resolve concerns early. How should objections be handled? If objections arise, it signals that either clarity or persuasion was lacking. The professional response is to address concerns respectfully, provide further evidence, and reframe value. In Japan, objections are often indirect, so listening carefully is essential. Global best practice suggests preparing objection-handling strategies in advance. Whether in consumer goods or B2B tech, salespeople who anticipate resistance show competence. Japanese clients in particular value patience and persistence in overcoming doubts. Mini-Summary: Objections reveal gaps in clarity or persuasion; handling them calmly and respectfully strengthens trust in Japan's relationship-driven culture. How do you close the sale and secure loyalty? Closing should not be abrupt. Instead, salespeople can “paint a word picture” of success, helping the buyer imagine the benefits of the solution in action. Then, a soft closing technique invites agreement. After closing, follow-up is critical. Maintaining contact ensures satisfaction, resolves issues, and opens the door for referrals. In Japan, where reputation spreads through networks, happy clients become powerful advocates. The sales cycle does not end with the sale—it ends with loyalty. Mini-Summary: Successful closing combines gentle persuasion with strong follow-up, turning satisfied clients into long-term advocates and referral sources. Conclusion The sales cycle—credibility, questioning, solution, objections, and closing—is the roadmap that guides salespeople through every conversation. Without it, sales interactions risk becoming chaotic or buyer-led. In Japan, where professionalism, trust, and long-term relationships are paramount, mastering the cycle is non-negotiable. Salespeople who use it consistently not only close more deals but also create loyal clients who sustain their business for years to come.

Why enthusiasm is the decisive factor in leadership, persuasion, and presentation success in Japan and globally Why is enthusiasm essential in business presentations? Enthusiasm is the engine of persuasion. In leadership, sales, and communication, passion signals conviction and credibility. Without energy, even well-researched data or strategic recommendations fall flat. Executives at companies like Toyota or Rakuten expect presenters to not only deliver facts but to inject life into them. A lack of enthusiasm is not neutral—it actively drains attention. In Japan's post-pandemic corporate environment, where remote meetings and hybrid presentations are common, leaders who fail to project energy risk being forgotten. Conversely, those who speak with passion become memorable influencers. Mini-Summary: Enthusiasm transforms presentations from lifeless reports into persuasive communication. Without it, leaders risk losing trust and engagement. Can you be too enthusiastic about numbers and data? Yes, and that's where balance is key. In internal meetings—revenue updates, quarterly reporting, or client statistics—overt enthusiasm for raw numbers can feel inauthentic. But data doesn't persuade on its own. Context, storytelling, and contrast bring numbers to life. Instead of showing an unreadable spreadsheet, effective communicators use visuals, animation, and narratives. For example, a single key revenue figure, enlarged on screen with a compelling story, leaves more impact than a crowded Excel chart. Global consulting firms like McKinsey & Company and Accenture regularly use this principle to frame insights for clients. Mini-Summary: Numbers without stories are dead. Leaders must animate data with context and narrative to persuade effectively. What happens when leaders speak without energy? Low-energy speakers drain motivation. Watching former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's press conferences illustrated how the absence of passion can make communication painful. His monotone delivery of critical COVID-19 emergency updates left audiences disengaged. In corporate life, the same dynamic applies. Leaders who fail to bring enthusiasm become “energy thieves,” leaving their teams uninspired. Conversely, when presenters share passion, energy transfers to the audience—lifting morale, confidence, and trust. Mini-Summary: Low energy kills influence. Leaders either inspire with enthusiasm or exhaust audiences with monotony. How can business leaders find enthusiasm in mundane topics? Not every subject excites naturally, but every presentation contains an angle that matters to the audience. Skilled communicators search for that thread—whether it's how trends affect profitability, customer loyalty, or employee well-being. Dale Carnegie Training in Tokyo teaches leaders to reframe even humdrum updates into stories of impact. Enthusiasm doesn't mean shouting; it means showing genuine conviction. Executives can highlight stakes, contrasts, or future implications to capture interest. Even logistics updates, when framed as customer-impact stories, can resonate. Mini-Summary: Find the human or business impact inside routine topics, and speak with conviction to make them engaging. How can presenters inject energy into their delivery? Energy is built, not born. Leaders must train, rehearse, and refine delivery. Techniques include varying pace, emphasising key junctures, and pausing strategically for impact. In Japan's competitive corporate training market, firms invest in executive coaching to help managers avoid monotony and build presence. Simple techniques—raising intensity during turning points, using stories, and changing tone—keep audiences alert. Professional speakers worldwide use rehearsal as their competitive edge. Mini-Summary: Enthusiasm requires skill and rehearsal. Leaders must train delivery techniques to project energy consistently. What's the risk of neglecting enthusiasm in business communication? The consequences are reputational. Every presentation is a personal branding moment. Leaders who consistently project enthusiasm are remembered as energisers. Those who don't, like Suga, risk being remembered as uninspiring and quickly forgotten. In Japan's relationship-driven business culture, credibility and energy directly affect trust. Companies invest heavily in sales and leadership training because they know reputations are made—or broken—every time someone speaks. Mini-Summary: Leaders who fail to project enthusiasm damage both personal and corporate brands. Energy is not optional—it's strategic. Conclusion: Why enthusiasm defines your legacy as a communicator Every presentation is an opportunity to shape how people perceive you. Audiences remember how you made them feel more than what you said. If you want to influence decisions, inspire teams, and strengthen your leadership brand, enthusiasm is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: Enthusiasm transforms presentations into persuasive experiences. Numbers need stories and context to have meaning. Low energy drains audiences; high energy uplifts them. Even mundane topics can be reframed with conviction. Energy skills require training and rehearsal. Reputation and leadership legacy depend on enthusiasm. Executives, managers, and sales leaders should act now: rehearse presentations, seek coaching, and commit to bringing visible passion to every communication moment.

The Boston Public Library's "Lost" Art: We dive into the bizarre case of two priceless artworks—an Albrecht Dürer engraving and a Rembrandt van Rijn etching—that went missing from one of the country's most prestigious libraries. The disappearance caused a media uproar and led to the resignation of the library's president . But in a twist, the art was never stolen; it was just in the wrong spot for an entire year.  The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: We explore the story of John Charles Gilkey, a man driven by intellectual vanity who used stolen credit card numbers to amass a collection of rare books worth over $200,000. Gilkey wasn't in it for the money; he simply wanted to appear to be a sophisticated intellectual . His obsessive "bibliokleptomania" forced the rare book community to tighten security and share information on thefts.  The Notorious Map Thief: Next, we cover Edward Forbes Smiley III, a charming and respected rare map dealer whose financial troubles led him to a life of crime. Using an X-Acto blade, he would carefully slice rare maps out of centuries-old atlases from institutions like Yale and Harvard. We reveal how a single misplaced blade led to his downfall, exposing his theft of nearly 100 maps .

Why leadership requires sensing and feeling, not just knowing, in 2025 Managers often prioritise what they “know,” while leaders rely more on what they “sense” and “feel.” This distinction, popularised by executive coach Marcel Danne, is more than semantics—it highlights a profound difference in mindset. As of 2025, with Japan navigating demographic challenges, digital disruption, and global uncertainty, the ability to sense and adapt has become more critical than simply knowing facts. What's the difference between managers and leaders in decision-making? Managers tend to focus on knowing first—building confidence through data, self-education, and sheer hard work. Leaders, however, prioritise sensing first—tuning into people, context, and emotions before deciding. In practice, this means managers often bulldoze forward with certainty, while leaders pause to feel and reflect before acting. In Japan, this distinction matters. Hierarchical firms often elevate those who “know,” but the complexity of 2025 requires leaders who can sense subtle shifts in markets, teams, and cultures. Mini-Summary: Managers lead with knowledge; leaders lead with sensing. In 2025 Japan, sensing is critical for navigating complexity. Why are managers often so confident in their own answers? Managers often rely on personal effort: self-education, long hours, and relentless execution. This creates confidence, even ego, but often without much self-awareness. Many managers assume the path is clear because they've worked hard to “know” it. This overconfidence mirrors Western corporate cultures where rugged individualism is prized. But in Japan, such confidence can clash with collaborative norms. A “my way or the highway” mindset alienates teams, undermining innovation and engagement. Mini-Summary: Managerial confidence stems from effort and ego, but without self-awareness, it risks alienating teams—especially in Japan. Why do Japanese firms prioritise questions over answers? Japanese business culture values asking the right questions more than having immediate answers. To a Western-trained manager, this seems counterintuitive, but it ensures decisions reflect collective wisdom. Leaders in Japan often pause to ask: Are we even solving the right problem? This contrasts with the West, where speed and decisiveness are praised. In 2025, Japanese organisations that blend both—rigorous questioning plus timely execution—are best positioned for global competition. Mini-Summary: In Japan, leaders prioritise asking the right questions before jumping to answers, ensuring collective wisdom shapes decisions. How do feelings reshape leadership effectiveness? Managers often dismiss emotions as distractions. Leaders, however, integrate feelings into decision-making. Dale Carnegie's Human Relations Principles emphasise empathy, appreciation, and understanding as essential leadership skills. Leaders who sense how people feel can adjust tone, timing, and messaging. In 2025, with hybrid work and employee burnout prevalent, emotional intelligence is more critical than ever. Companies like Hitachi and Sony are embedding empathy into leadership development to retain talent and drive innovation. Mini-Summary: Feelings, once ignored by managers, are now essential for leaders managing hybrid workforces and avoiding burnout. Can leaders evolve from “knowing” to “sensing”? Yes. Leaders can shift by gradually reordering their priorities. Many, like myself, began as managers focused on knowing and execution. Over time, through feedback and reflection, feelings and sensing moved to the forefront. For example, Dale Carnegie training encourages leaders to practice empathy, appreciation, and active listening. These skills shift behaviour from control to collaboration. Even small changes—like pausing before responding—signal growth. Mini-Summary: Leaders can evolve from knowing-first to sensing-first through training, reflection, and small behavioural changes. What should leaders do today to balance sensing and knowing? In 2025, leaders must balance data with empathy. This means: Asking the right questions before chasing answers. Listening actively to signals from teams and markets. Using knowledge as a foundation but not the driver. Modelling humility and curiosity in decision-making. Executives at firms like Toyota and Rakuten illustrate this blend, combining rigorous data with people-first leadership. Leaders who fail to evolve remain stuck in outdated managerial mindsets. Mini-Summary: Leaders must balance sensing and knowing by listening, questioning, and modelling humility—skills critical in 2025 Japan. Conclusion The difference between managers and leaders lies in order of priority: managers know first, leaders sense first. In Japan's complex 2025 environment, sensing, feeling, and questioning matter more than simply knowing. Leadership is a journey of self-discovery—moving from rugged individualism to collaborative sensing. The challenge for executives today is clear: are you still managing by knowing, or are you leading by sensing?

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét cover everything from wigs to crime sprees. Bob challenges Monét to a wig-length showdown, they debate where measurements should start, and reveal their real shoe sizes. They imagine how they'd plot as serial killers in Los Angeles before swapping hookup stories—including Bob's scavenger hunt–style hookup adventure. They discuss how to respond to crying without being inappropriate and recall moments when they were mad enough to need to be held back. They confess who leaves hotel rooms messier and ask if Black and brown neighborhoods are really louder. Plus: New York geography confusion, their favorite NYC drag shows, and an old argument that gets Bob heated all over again.

In this episode of The Negotiation, we welcome Emmanuel Poupelle, WPIC Marketing + Technologies' Director of Growth for Europe, to explore how European lifestyle and health brands can succeed in China's fast-changing consumer landscape. Originally recorded as a webinar, there were so many incredible insights brought to the discussion that we felt it was well worth publishing as a podcast as well.Drawing on his extensive experience advising international brands, Emmanuel explains why China's evolving demographics, shifting consumption priorities, and increasing demand for premium lifestyle products have created a major growth opportunity. We discuss why Xiaohongshu (RED) is essential for discovery and influence, how Chinese consumers evaluate value and quality, and why European “heritage” brands still hold strong appeal.From health supplements and personal care to mental wellness and outdoor products, Emmanuel walks through the most promising categories—and why brands need to lead with storytelling, lifestyle positioning, and an integrated service model to win in China. Enjoy!Discussion PointsWhat's changing in China's consumer landscape—and why this matters for European brandsThe growing influence of Chinese outbound travellers and Xiaohongshu (RED)Why lifestyle positioning and heritage storytelling are key to market entry successWhich health and wellness categories are gaining the most tractionHow services, co-branding, and social commerce strategies can complement product launchesTiming your entry: why summer is ideal for lifestyle and travel-linked brandsWhere opportunities remain wide open: supplements, clean beauty, mental wellness

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét get into the world of influencers, social media, and how they'd fit in if the game had started earlier. Bob reflects on his stint in children's theater and recalls documenting everything with his camcorder. Monét talks about her pre-social media days as a singer and how shifting workday hours might change productivity. They compare LA and New York influencers, debate whether Bob is one, and ask why he isn't making more money from TikTok. They examine the difference between Black and African American identity and debate who treats fans better at meet and greets. Plus: pop fandoms, Survivor, alliteration in geography, jewelry eras, and whether singers or dancers are cringier online.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Jim Weisser, a serial entrepreneur and founder of SignTime, for an in-depth exploration of Japan's software market and startup ecosystem.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét ask the big question—what makes an icon? They debate whether they themselves are icons, which Drag Race queens qualify, and what makes a pop star truly iconic. Is it awards? Longevity? Star power? They explore the origins of the term EGOT, which Nobel Prize Bob is most likely to win, and whether awards are essential for icon status. They build their own metric for becoming an icon and test their knowledge of international Drag Race queens. Plus, did we meet Cynthia Erivo as a singer or an actor first and should the Grammys have a Queer or Nonbinary category?

On the latest Drag Race Season 7 reminiscence, Trixie and Katya relive the transformative chaos of Episode 2, where challenges were confusing, tensions ran high, and eyebrows ran even higher. With unfiltered vulnerability, they unpack the emotional exfoliation brought about by both success and failure, as well as the subtle art of absolutely destroying a group acting challenge before celebrating with an evening fingering at the hotel. They explore the power of radical self-compassion, even when remembering fierce barbs about wigs resembling a discount John Goodman. If you've ever needed permission to laugh at your past while simultaneously healing your long-festering emotional wounds, this one's for you. Planning a trip this year?

  In this episode, we dive into the bizarre and still-unsolved 1990 mail bombings that targeted two of the biggest names in televangelism — John Osteen of Lakewood Church and Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network. We explore the rise of televangelism, the attacks that nearly claimed lives, the FBI investigation, and the internet's favorite theory about who was really behind it all.   Check-out bonus episodes up on Spotify and Apple podcast now!
