研修の常識が変わる！

Connecting dots across the globe — Participants joined from 11 different countries. The first Possible World Discovery session of the year brought together fellow explorers from 11 different countries (Australia, Austria, Egypt, Hungary, France, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, Thailand, UK ) , creating a rich tapestry of global wisdom and shared inquiry. In this space, we didn't just talk about change; we lived through it. Possible World Explorers 1. Check-in: The "Golden Lessons" from Our Childhood We began the session by reconnecting with the simple, foundational lessons we were taught as children—the values that serve as a compass for creating a better world. "Be kind to others" "Sharing" "Trusting what I feel is right" "Be prepared" "Enjoy the process" "Not bully, not be bullied" 2. Mirror of Reality: Why We Struggle to Live These Lessons We started with ideals, but the simulation quickly revealed the disconnect between our intentions and reality. The experience captured the "friction" we encounter in our daily lives when complexity takes over. The World Condition Meter A Visual Representation of the World Emerged The Frustration of Ineffectiveness:  One participant captured the feeling of being caught in a loop: "I was just hitting buttons and that was not helping me or my team."  It was a powerful reflection of how often we act reflexively in the real world without true reflective time. A Disconnected World:  Despite having shared goals, we found ourselves siloed in our own tasks. Even when a collective dialogue was called for, the momentum of "surviving" our individual projects made it difficult to stop and align—a direct parallel to the fast-paced silos of modern society. 3. The Necessity of a Mindset Shift Knowing the "right" values is not enough to navigate an unpredictable world; a fundamental shift in mindset is required. In this session, the host intentionally removed all instructions, stating:
"I wanted all the possibilities to be in your hands."
By letting go of the habit of seeking "top-down" instructions or "correct" answers, we were challenged to face the unknown and rediscover our own agency within the chaos. 4. "Kizuki" (Insights) Gathered Through the Simulation Through this intentional chaos, participants moved beyond designed logic to discover deep, personal insights. This is the core impact of the Possible World experience. The Trajectory of Our Shared World: Visualizing the World's Progression (Auyumi)" — Economic (Blue), Environmental (Green), and Social (Yellow) indicators This graph visualises the "Auyumi (あゆみ)" (progression) of our world. Note the dramatic rise in the Social indicator (Yellow) in the latter half—a direct result of our collective mindset shift. It shows that when we stop focusing solely on individual "buttons" and start connecting, the whole system begins to thrive. The Power of Letting Go:  One transformative insight resonated deeply with the group: "It will be fine even if I'm not driving the boat."  This realization—that things can progress beautifully even when we surrender the need to personally control every outcome—opened up a new space ( Ma ) for trust and true co-creation. Humility and Connection:  Accepting that we "cannot do it alone"  and realizing that "you're not always the smartest person in the room"  transformed our individual limitations into a collective strength, fostering a genuine sense of unity. 5. Small Steps Forward: Our Commitments The session concluded with "small ripples"—personal declarations to carry this newfound awareness into the real world. "Do not fear the unknown. Jump and swim." "Exploring what else is possible with excess." A commitment to education: "Returning to the classroom to teach children the true meaning of helping, sharing, and working together." Yes, it was short, and they were small ripples. We also truly experienced the potential of this online space. I know that some parts of the online experience—such as navigating multiple browsers and Zoom breakout rooms—may not be as intuitive as an in-person environment. In fact, we witnessed moments of genuine struggle. But while technical challenges and internet instability indeed reflect our reality, this environment undeniably revealed vast new possibilities for connection. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. Thank you for bringing your energy and open hearts to this experiment. Seeing these ripples of transformation start in Darwin and reach across 11 countries fills me with hope. We are all bridge-builders in this 'Possible World'. I shared my personal Kizuki on the struggles and dilemmas here . Closing: A Celebration of Incompleteness This session proved that when we embrace Incompleteness  (Yohaku/Ma), we create the space for true innovation and dialogue. Possible World is more than a simulation; it is a journey that begins when you loosen your grip on the "steering wheel" and open yourself up to the possibilities of the collective. We invite you to step into the chaos and find your own "boat" in the next session. Every world is up to our mindset and actions. Possible World. Join the Next Journey Are you ready to dive into the chaos and discover the possibilities within yourself? Step into the next Discovery Session and experience the shift firsthand.

Date:  November 20, 2025 Location:  Online (Zoom) Hosting Team:  Aya Matsuyama (Australia), Sekan (Tokyo), Asuka (Osaka) 🌏 Session Overview "This is not a lecture. You are not Passengers; you are Crew." With these opening words from the host, the Possible World Discovery Session  began. The theme of our journey was "Awareness of Possibilities and Action." Members gathered from diverse backgrounds and locations—Darwin, Tokyo, Osaka, Chiba, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima—embarking on a shared journey to explore their individual possibilities. 🗝️ Three Important Things for Enjoying the Journey To co-create this space effectively, we shared three core principles to guide us: Be Crew:  Don't just sit and wait to arrive at the destination; move the space together. No Right or Wrong:  Every opinion and every half-formed thought is a vital resource for awareness. Loosen Your Mental Framework:  Notice your unconscious limits and assumptions, and try letting them go. 🧠 Engaging Head, Heart, and Hara (Gut) As a warm-up before entering the game, we tuned the three tools we all possess: Head (Thinking/Analysis), Heart (Emotion), and Hara (Intuition/Gut Feeling). We posed the question: "What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow?" The results were a fascinating experiment: the answer derived from thinking (Head), the answer from feeling (Heart), and the answer from the gut (Hara) were different for each participant. We confirmed that while we usually use these faculties separately, today was about using all of them to fully savor the experience. 🔄 Check-in: Unconscious Assumptions vs. New Possibilities The core of this session was becoming aware of "Unconscious Assumptions." Here are some of the limiting assumptions participants shared, contrasted with the "New Possibilities" they discovered: Unconscious Assumption (Before) New Possibility (After) As a host, I should hold back my own opinions. Even as a host, I will speak up as a participant. As a staff member, I shouldn't cross the line. I will take the brakes off and try crossing boundaries. If I'm not successful, I have no right to speak. Even if imperfect, I will restart and speak up. I shouldn't trust people / I must help those in trouble. It's okay to trust / If I'm struggling, it's okay not to help. If asked, I must answer. If I don't want to answer, I don't have to. I'm shy, so I'll stay quiet. I will try talking to people I don't know. 🎮 Game Experience: Possible World We then entered the simulation game, "Possible World"—a mirror of our reality. While individual goals (Wealth, Time, Will) and world conditions (Economy, Environment, Society) intertwined in complex ways, participants made their choices. Session Highlights: The Silent Breakout Room: In one room, the game proceeded in silence. "I shouldn't hinder the other person's progress"  and "I tried to read the room"  were the driving thoughts. We caught a glimpse of a microcosm of the real world, where excessive consideration results in a lack of communication. The Gap Between Game and Reality: Deep insights were shared in the chat, such as: "In the game, I could ask for help naturally, but in reality, I feel I need to prepare first." "In the game, I operated on the premise that everyone was an 'ally/understander,' but I assume that's not the case in reality." Emergent World Results: 3 out of 5 participants achieved their numerical goals. 💡 Key Insights & Takeaways The reflection after the game went deeper than just game strategy; it evolved into a dialogue about our attitudes toward life and work. 1. The Curse of "I Must Be Proper" Many members realized that roles and self-definitions like "It's meaningless if not perfect," "Because I'm the host," or "Because I'm staff," were actually narrowing their own possibilities. 2. Trust is a "Choice" Participants shifted from the assumption that "I can only rely on myself" to new options like "Saying it's tough when it's tough" or "Consulting a trusted friend." The safe environment of the game allowed them to experiment with "trusting others"—a choice they might not usually make. 3. How We Relate to the World Assumptions like "Everyone should be equal" became visible, and new behavioral guidelines were born, such as "Just start with the people your heart connects with." Awareness grew not just regarding personal goals, but also regarding how we relate to those around us (Social Indicators). 🚀 Next Steps At the end of the session, everyone shared their "Next Step." "Clarify my goals and communicate them." "First, ask and listen to see what can be born between you and me." "Say it's tough when it feels tough." The experience in Possible World is not just a simulation. We closed the session by vowing to nurture the seeds of "New Possibilities" found here in our respective "Real Worlds." Thank you to all the Crew members who joined us for this wonderful voyage! Is it your turn to experience these insights? Check out our upcoming events here.

"The Bigger Picture"  — Reflections from a Possible World Discovery Session A diverse group of nine individuals , connecting from cities like Rotterdam, The Hague, Osaka, Germany, and Poland , came together for an online Possible World Discovery Session. This session combined the immersive Possible World  simulation with focused self-reflection and dialogue, aimed at sparking a profound kizuki  (sudden realization). Participants were tasked with running projects, engaging in transactions, and navigating the game's mechanics. Throughout the game, there was a visible effort to cooperate, with one small group noted for being "super collaborative,"  asking each other, "What do you need, what can I do for you?". And yet, despite the collective efforts, only 4 out of 9 participants achieved the numerical part  of their goal. This led to a rich reflection on the dynamics between individual achievement and collective outcome. One participant's initial feeling of being "super positive"  due to collaboration gave way to "frustration of not being able to control whatever is happening in the bigger picture,"  as the world condition meter changed rapidly in an undesirable way. Another, who achieved their numerical goal, still felt "a bit restless"  and "shackled" . They realized that their reliance on the small group  and typing in chat  was a barrier, concluding they needed to "go into the different rooms and talk to people"  to reach the broader world. This mirrored the real-world challenge of having time, language, and cultural differences when connecting globally. 1. Overview Theme : Possible World - COP30 Special D ate: November 10, 2025 18:00–20:00 JST  Location : Online  Participating Countries : Rotterdam, The Hague (Netherlands), Osaka (Japan), Germany, Poland, Darwin (Australia) Participants:  9 2. World Emerged The collective actions of the group resulted in the following World Condition Meter (WCM) status at the end of the round. 3. Key Learning and Real-World Application Participants experienced firsthand how easy it is for an Economy  meter to climb (reaching 22) while the Environment  and Society  lagged (7 and 11, respectively). This session, held as the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) was beginning in Brazil, highlighted the urgency of effective global cooperation. This urgency was immediately contrasted with tangible, local action through a case study on one of the participants, Febriani's reforestation project in West Borneo, Indonesia (this will be shared in a separate article!). The project links healthcare with conservation , allowing communities to pay for services with seedlings  and demonstrating how the health of humans and the health of the environment is intertwined . This successful local model served as a potent example of translating " kizuki " into grounded, impactful action. 4. Participant Voices In their reflection and dialogue, participants identified several key learnings and intentions for a potential second round: 🧠 What was Learned? It's difficult to connect with others globally due to communication barriers like language, time zones, and the sheer effort required to find out what others need and want. The first round was often spent "getting to grips with the actual system"  (cognitive load) rather than interacting with the wider group. Cooperation is vital, not just human-to-human, but human-to-nature, as "the health of humans and the health of environment is intertwined" . Many people mentioned communication difficulties and felt lonely/separated. 🚀 What Would Be Done Differently? Move to other groups,  and explore other breakout rooms . Use the common chat earlier to give signals to others . Balance focus  between the small group and the larger world. Have a game plan  to ensure society and environment get better, even if personal goals are not met . Go to the person directly in the breakout room  after seeing something in the chat, rather than relying on text chatting. This Discovery Session emphasised that true impact requires deep commitment and firm motivation  that stems from connecting to our deeper self and wisdom—the kizuki . #possibleworld #collaboration #openmindedness #kizuki #facilitation #workshop #teamwork #leadership #community #connection #dialogue #selfreflection #innovation #sdgs #idgs Is it your turn to experience Kizuki?

Possible World Session for Global Leadership I had the privilege of spending three hours with around 30 students at the University of Sydney Business School. My first impression was their incredible diversity: a mix of cultures, ages, and personalities. There were the naturally outspoken individuals and the quiet observers with sharp minds. It felt like a perfect microcosm of a future boardroom or a global summit. The session wasn't a lecture, and I wasn't there to simply fill their heads with information. Instead, I served as a guardian of the space , inviting them into a simulation of our real world—a world with limited time, resources, and infinite possibilities. A Simulation with Future Leaders Begun with a Question As the simulation started, familiar questions flew through the air: "Are we competing against each other?" "Can we exchange resources?" "What are the right goals?" My usual and only answer was: " It's up to you ." This response initially left them bewildered. Their conditioning to follow a rulebook and find a clear path to victory had them trapped for a long time. But as the session unfolded, they began to realise a profound truth: this was their world . There was no single right answer, no one-size-fits-all strategy. Even the rules were theirs to create. Team members collaborate around a laptop, exploring creative possibilities and solutions together. The Power of Small Acts of Courage I watched as small ripples of change became a tidal wave. Initially, interactions were confined to their own teams. Then, one person stood up, crossed the room, and started talking to another group. This simple act—like a single drop of water—created a quiet ripple effect . Soon, the entire room was in motion, exchanging ideas, negotiating resources, and collaborating. Aspiring future leaders engage in dynamic discussions and collaborative activities during a Possible World simulation As often happens in this simulation, the teams initially focused on economic development, while the environment and society struggled. 5 minutes in: the first Possible World is taking shape. The conversation shifted from who could win to a collective vision. I began to hear voices saying, "Whose goal is social justice?" and "We'll give our time away for good projects." Then, a moment of profound realism came. Before the next round began, a student stepped forward. He wasn't giving orders; he was offering a solution he believed would help everyone track their collective progress. Despite some hesitation and differing opinions, he listened humbly, and the group eventually agreed. To me, this demonstrated a critical form of leadership: offering ideas, listening to others, ad holding your ground with conviction. That courage is the first step to shaping a brighter future. Participants, as future world leaders, engage in a dynamic discussion to explore innovative solutions using Possible World  and collaborative dialogue. What Lies Beyond the Scoreboard As the simulation neared its end, it hit a familiar wall: reality. Some teams, despite their hard work, didn't achieve their numerical goals. They spoke up but their voices were lost in the excitement of others. It was a powerful lesson: In the real world, not every voice is heard, and not every objective is met. What inspired me most wasn't who "won" the game, but how everyone chose to play it . The most impactful moments weren't about individual achievements but about the small, brave acts of collaboration. The willingness to move beyond personal goals and to discuss how to build a better world together. The harmony we see now is the product of relentless effort. Carefully examining projects with the team. That day, I saw more than just MBA students; I saw future world leaders in the making. The challenges and triumphs they experienced in that room—limited resources, communication breakdowns, and the power of collective action—are the very same they will confront in the real world. The ultimate lesson of this simulation wasn't on the scoreboard; it was in their conversations and decisions. It was a powerful reminder that our greatest achievements aren't just about reaching a number, but about the world we choose to build together . Future Global Leaders What truly matters to you, beyond the visible scoreboard? 🌏 At P-Lab, our mission is to enable people to move from passive observers to agents with ownership so they can take impactful action.

Possible World Residents The Transformative Power of "Kizuki": A "Possible World Jam" Session Today's Possible World Jam! Session was characterized by its participatory and introspective nature, with a strong emphasis on fostering "Kizuki" (insights). Through a simulation game, participants collaborated to create a world, navigating the complexities of balancing economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and societal well-being while striving to achieve individual goals. The post-game reflection was a multi-faceted process, delving into non-verbal approaches . Participants engaged in a meditative practice, focusing on bodily sensations like breath, chest, and belly. They then selected a character to represent their current feelings, and shared these reflections in pairs, emphasizing active listening. A particularly insightful element was the question, "What would we do differently if we had a second chance?", prompting deeper thought on possibilities and personal agency. The session fostered an atmosphere of openness, welcoming diverse perspectives and opinions with the guiding principle that there are "no right or wrong answers". Participants' feedback highlighted the positive impact of the session. One participant expressed a feeling of being "filled bit by bit" after hearing another's sharing, emphasizing the importance of contribution and connection. Another participant found an "Aha moment" when an in-game goal contradicted their real-life work, leading them to appreciate the importance of remaining open to opposing views and seeking to understand first. Both participants praised the casual "coffee chat" format, suggesting it's an accessible way to break from routine thinking and connect with others. Another player noted that she chose not to work hard to achieve her goal due to the group's composition, trusting the participants and the process—a departure from typical time-limited sessions. Notably, the session also connected an experienced 2030 SDGs Game facilitator with an individual who is about to undertake a 2030 SDGs facilitator training course in Switzerland. This serendipitous connection led to a geographical link, with the experienced facilitator having family in the city where the other individual is located, potentially paving the way for interesting future developments. The session underscored the transformative potential of "Kizuki" and its applicability in various fields, including leadership training and sustainability awareness #OnlineSession #AhaMoment #SystemsThinking #Workshop #Connection #Kizuki #PossibleWorld #Introspection #MindsetShift #CoCreation #SimulationGame 1.

Participant Voices "I felt filled bit by bit after hearing another's sharing, emphasizing the importance of contribution and connection. My only regret is that I couldn't connect to give all my blue principles before time ran out." "The game gave me an Aha moment of ensuring that I remain open to direct opposites. It also shifted my perspective, as a situation I initially interpreted as 'hurt' was actually 'a positive view of filling up what was empty' after hearing another participant's insight. I absolutely agree that this session is easy to do and a great way to get your brain out of the rut it gets into. It can really help people find their tribe and realize that sometimes you can feel really alone." "I appreciate the casual 'coffee chat' format. It's accessible to gather a few friends, no matter where they are, and have a small game session. I even joined during working hours because I felt I 'should be there,' and it was worth it. This approach can be a great way to make the 'unknown to known,' just give people a patronage to try." Check out upcoming events here.

Possible World Co-Creators “What Is Enough?” — Reflections from a Possible World Discovery Session Five women from five different places. All had experienced the 2030 SDGs Game —and now came together for a deeper journey: a 2-hour Possible World Discovery Session . This wasn’t just a simulation. It was an invitation. An invitation to run projects, negotiate, collaborate, and reflect on the kind of world we want to co-create. There was active dialogue, thoughtful decision-making, and sincere efforts to support one another. And yet, by the end of the game, only one person achieved the numerical part of her goal . Her response left a quiet impact: “I don’t want anything. I’ve achieved my goal. You can have my projects, my money—everything.” That moment shifted the room. It invited others to ask themselves: How much is enough? And what are we really seeking? One participant shared: “I know this game inside out. But today, I was lost. I did everything—communicated, negotiated, gave generously. Still, I couldn’t even achieve half my goal. Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing.”
Her goal: Social Justice . As the simulation progressed, rich dialogue emerged: 🌱 Insights around diversified investments , timing , and the need for a collective vision 🧠 Honest reflections on being bound by personal values , and the realization that collaboration requires strategy ❤️ A recurring theme: listening deeply , embracing imperfection , and valuing the process  over the outcome This Discovery Session was not just about learning the mechanics of a game. It was a space to pause, notice, and remember: Sometimes, the most meaningful goals aren’t measured in numbers. #possibleworld #collaboration #openmindedness #kizuki #facilitation #workshop #teamwork #leadership #community #connection #dialogue #selfreflection #innovation #sdgs #idgs 1.

Possible World Stakeholders Finding Kizuki: Collaboration and Open-mindedness in a Possible World Session This Possible World session was a powerful experience, filled with deep learning and insightful "Kizuki" moments. While we didn't create a perfectly balanced world in the time allotted, the journey was far more valuable than the destination (as I tell my daughter all the time :) ). We witnessed a beautiful exchange of ideas, "what ifs," and genuine care for one another. It was inspiring to see how readily participants, many of them strangers, embraced the challenge and worked together towards a brighter future. There were no right or wrong answers, only heartfelt contributions and a shared desire for positive change. This active listening and open communication fostered deep connections, even among those meeting for the first time. My own "Kizuki" moment crystallized around the question: If we can create this kind of collaborative, open-minded environment in a game, why can't we do more of it in the real world? What would it take? One of the most compelling aspects of the session was the exploration of collaboration. A participant suggested pooling all resources and entrusting them to one person, emphasizing support over competition. While this idea sounded promising at first glance, another participant raised a crucial point: concentrating power in one individual could lead to dictatorship and stifle open dialogue. This can be a difficult point to raise, as it can feel like rejecting the initial idea. However, the participant shared their perspective with grace and a smile, demonstrating a willingness to learn and grow. Another participant then skillfully acknowledged the initial suggestion, making the first participant feel heard. They then reframed the concept of "dictatorship" as "leadership requiring trust," suggesting that perhaps we could all choose to be our own leaders. They further reframed "competition" as "considering others," softening the potentially negative connotation. This exchange perfectly illustrated the power of open-mindedness, active listening, and reframing. It showed how differing opinions, when shared respectfully, can lead to more nuanced and collaborative solutions. From the very beginning, the participants embodied open-mindedness, active listening, and a genuine appreciation for diverse perspectives. They embraced the challenges, finding joy even in the face of adversity. This session served as a powerful reminder of the potential for human connection and collaboration when we create space for open dialogue and mutual respect. Why can't we do more of this in our real world? What would it take?   This is the question I left the session pondering. Perhaps the answer lies in cultivating the same qualities we witnessed in the game: open-mindedness, active listening, respectful communication, and a shared commitment to a brighter future. Perhaps it starts with recognising that we are all in this together, even with our different ideas and approaches. Perhaps it's about fostering "Kizuki" moments that inspire us to create the world we envision. #possibleworld #collaboration #openmindedness #kizuki #facilitation #workshop #teamwork #leadership #community #connection #dialogue #selfreflection #innovation #sdgs #idgs 1.
