Taking a gap year in the middle of his life was a story that marked a point of no return for him. At the age of 21, he decided to drop out of college early, setting the stage for his journey.
For the first 20 years, in the ever-changing dance floor of the market, with the product at the center, he and his team danced the tango with their customers. But when his health prompted him to take a halftime break, he realized that loosening his grip on the team’s hand, and engaging his heart more, made the dance lighter, and everyone happier. The applause grew louder.
He saw a broader world and delved deeper into his inner world. In a casual conversation with a friend, he discovered the series of stories that made life meaningful. Stories shape the way we see the world and ourselves. Understanding one’s own story can bring us closer to the essence of our lives, becoming our own driving force.
He wants to use stories to help people get to know themselves, appreciate themselves, and harness their true potential. He understands that everyone is already the most beautiful and powerful work of art.
Recognizing that an organization’s life is composed of individual lives, he gradually shifted the story methods he had explored into organizational development. This transformation brought about more miracles. Through the resonance and shared feelings of the stories, team members saw the panoramic picture they were piecing together. This sparked the courage to co-create the future, aligning personal goals with organizational visions. Strategic consensus and organizational change occurred quietly, with everyone voluntarily taking center stage, becoming both creators and witnesses of history.
He believes that when we truly touch the essence of life, it will guide us forward.
