I believe that anyone can become an
effective global professional!
誰でも効果的なグローバル・プロフェッショナルになれると信じています！
Becoming a global professional is first a matter of choice. Once you have chosen to be a global professional, you only need to develop the skills that you are lacking. The goal is not perfection, but progress! You will make mistakes and that is to be expected. It's just part of the process!
グローバル・プロフェッショナルになることは、まず選択の問題である。グローバル・プロフェッショナルになることを選択したら、あとは自分に足りないスキルを伸ばすだけだ。目標は完璧ではなく、進歩である！ミスをすることもあるだろうし、それは予想されることだ。それもプロセスの一部なのだ！
