During this Nippon Life Seminar exclusive for WBB students, Mack delivered a lecture on Tao of Global Communication and Business. He started his lecture from demonstration of 20 English accents as an ice breaker, and described how language and culture affect the way people make decisions and communicate each other, and discuss global communication beyond culture and nationalities, and also shared some wisdom from the ancient oriental philosophers which may be applied in modern business. And of course with full of jokes. Nippon Life’s young employees were also invited from our international department to present Nippon Life’s company profile and global activities. We enjoyed hosting this seminar for promising students and program leaders around the globe.
