Blog for the meeting on October 2nd: English hybrid meeting

TM TM explained our club condition before education session. He indicated that in meetings from today onwards, some members will need to play multiple roles. He encouraged us to take a proactive approach to the role.

■ Today’s word: Definitely

TM YT chose “Definitely” as Today’s word. This word means “without any doubt”.

■ Prepared Speeches

Today’s prepared speech was TM MS. He told me about his communication style. Regarding business reports, it is effective to communicate the results first. His business was conducted under strict discipline. We could easily imagine his attitude towards work from his humorous performance. He showed me how to use different communication depending on the other person.
