第２６９回 Workshop報告（１１月９日）

≪FIRST HALF≫

Let’s pitch for a recommended destination to travel abroad

With travel regaining normalcy post-restrictions and completing my MBA journey in September, the time to explore new horizons feels perfect. During my MBA studies, my time was entirely occupied, making it difficult to consider travel. Now, I’m eager to go abroad but have no clear idea of where to start.

To help with this, I would like you to recommend travel destinations through a short pitch presentation, also known as an elevator pitch. This should be a brief, up-to-2-minute presentation that shares why a particular destination is worth visiting. You can use photos on your phone, tablet, or PC to illustrate your pitch. After each presentation, group members can ask questions for up to 3 minutes, then move on to the next person. Once everyone has presented, decide on the most interesting destination in your group. The chosen presenter can then share their pitch with the whole group following the discussion.

<Agenda>

1.    Pitch for a recommended destination for traveling abroad (Up to 2 minutes). Please prepare it before the workshop.

2.    Q&A session (Up to 3 minutes)

3.    Move to the next presenter

4.    After everyone in the group finishes it, please decide the most interesting destination in your group. That person is going to be the presenter.

<Optional>

If you have time, please share the best and worst experiences of traveling.

≪LATTER HALF≫

How to deal with bitter memories of the past

Have you ever wished you could go back to the past to change your bitter memories? Actually, I have. Reflecting on my actions and words, I often regret some of them and wish I could change the past. For example, I wish I could go back to the day I first joined E’s club. Although I volunteered to present at the end of the session, I forgot to take notes during the discussion and ended up delivering a disorganized presentation. So, I wish I had taken notes at that time.

According to an article in the Harvard Business Review, overthinking your mistakes is closely linked to anxiety and depression since it often triggers memories of similar past situations and an unproductive focus on the differences between who we really are and who we wish to be. While it is true that dwelling on negative experiences is unpleasant, I believe it is not inherently bad; it can help with problem-solving and personal growth.

In this session, I would like you to discuss effective ways to deal with bitter memories of the past.

Ice Break

Please share your favourite quote related to “regret”and tell us why you like it.

e.g. “Hakuna Matata” is my favourite quote related to regret. It’s a song from Disney’s The Lion King and means “No worries for the rest of your days.” I try to remember this phrase when I find myself dwelling on my past bitter experiences.

＜Questions＞

*In question 1, you can choose A or B.

1-A. What do you regret the most recently? How did you feel about it, and what did you learn from that experience?

1-B. (If you don’t mind sharing) What do you regret the most in your life? How do you think that experience has influenced who you are today? Do you wish you could change that moment?

2. “It is better to act and repent than not to act and regret.”means that it is better to try something, even if it does not turn out well, than to not try at all and wish you had.

Do you agree with this quote, even if the result of the action turns out terrible? Why or why not?

3. How can we deal with bitter memories of the past? Should we forget about them, think positively, such as “Failure is key to success” or anything else?
