TALK

Experiences are real. It makes us human. And there is no textbook substitute for having gone through something yourself. I have always learned and grown the most from real life experiences.

Yoshi seeks opportunities to share his real experiences with people. He has been sharing through keynote talks on topics such as global human resource management, entrepreneurship and cross-culture marketing.

Examples of some of Yoshi’s talk experiences:

“TEDxTitech” Tokyo, Nov 2014
