Report the sesult of the interview with a French restaurant.
---
Subject: Meeting with Pascal.
Hi Ron,
Since you are on business in Kyosyu, I'll just give you a brief update on the discussion with Pascal. Pascal is looking for natural wines from the Asian Passific region. He feels he can contact French wineries directly himself and he also has a pessimistic view on how climate change will affect Europian wine. In hindsight, I remember that when Emily and I visited Pascal earlier, he asked us whether we had wines other than California. I'll give you the details when you're back.
Enjoy the lest of your trip!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for sharing. It's a delicate matter. Daniel will probably be understanding about wines from outside Europe but Emily may not be so easily convinced. As you are well aware, Emily thinks that fine French wines are the strength of WCS. Although she agreed to diversify our product range to natural wines. She probably has European or Calfornian wines in mind. How was the feedback from other customers?
Regards,
Ron

Hi Ron,
So far, there are not that many customers who specifically request Asia Passific wines. But I think it's a bit too early to draw conclusions. I'll spend tow more days on further research. So by the time you come back, I'll have a clear idea.
Regards,
Lisa

You could keep it simple with "See you when you get back." or "Have a nice time!" If you know they're putting lots of extra hours, you could joke around and say "Don't work too hard!" But if you are familiar with the area you could add a bit more of a personal touch. For example if a coworker went to Chicago, I might say "Have some of those Chicago hotdogs for me." Or if you get a chance, be sure to check out the Fi.. Museum.

If you were to evaluate an airport, what would you look at?

ラジオビジネス英語 Interview（2-8）7月28日(金) TomMayse
--
In any given time in history human resource development has always been a essential element for companies to raise their performance. In term of rapid change, we must continuously broaden our learning. What aspects of Mr. Mayse talk did you find refreshing?
The comparison of HR development strategy between global and Japanese companes was interesting. The former forcuses resourses on key possitons, whereas the latter values more egalitarian approach. Do you think this culture of human resourse development in Japanese corporations will remain unchanged?
resourses
[ˌriˈsaʊərzɪz]
egalitarian 平等主義者
[ɪˌɡæləˈtɛriən]
I think that overall egalitarian culture will remain strong. But the detalis may change. Until now companies have aimed to nurture the skills required for a particular job. However in this age of job chages, young employees have desire to aquire more universally appricable skills. So I think the direction is to emphasise their own initiative while improving their indivisual skills and abilities.
Initiative
[ɪˈnɪʃətɪv]
I see. If that the case, the approach that promoted by Mr. Mayse where indivisuals are free to set their own career goals and pursue selfdevelopment will probably take root.
By the way regarding leadership, Mr. Mayse mentioned that leasers are required to be strong in a different sense than before. Would you agree?
Yes. Totally. In this age of uncertainty it's important to keep learning to be flexible. In therms of global competency, Mr. Mayse mentioned curiosity.
I think it's important to be interested not only in what's going on in the world but alos in the peple you come in to contact with at work and in your private life.
I think so too. If you are conscious of taking in intersts in others, you'll make like-minded friends and your network will naturally expand.
So all things consciderd, what does it take to become a global talent?
Well, firstly listen carefully to the opinions of people with diverse attribtes and different values. Secondly, think you through on you own based on those opinions. Finally move things forward while offering convincing solutions.
I think these three thins are vital.
