Kaneko Takes the Stage as a Speaker

On the day of the event, he delivered a lecture on the theme “What Makes a Person Successful in Society?” Drawing on his own experiences, he shared messages with the students regarding the right attitude toward work and the mindset necessary to grow as a professional.

■ “People Who Thrive in Society” Are Those Who Possess a Sense of Professionalism

In his lecture, centered on the question, “What sets people who thrive in society apart?”, he drew on his experiences from his student days to the present to convey the right attitude toward work and the mindset necessary for growth as a professional.

At the outset, addressing students who had taken the initiative to attend the event, he said, “Those of you who are using your days off not just to rest, but to invest in your future, are already one step ahead.” He conveyed the message that a proactive attitude toward learning is the first step toward succeeding in society.

He also highlighted that many employees at Rize Home Co., Ltd. who had proactively taken on challenges since their student days are now excelling on the front lines, emphasizing the importance of taking initiative by stating, “Those who prepare for the working world while still in school have a significant advantage from the moment they join the company.”

Scene from the presentation

■ “Handling Volume and Transforming It into Quality” Is the Shortcut to Growth

During the lecture, he drew on his own experiences—including sales work at a newspaper stand during college, corporate sales at a full-service law firm, and real estate sales—to explain that “sales is the accumulation of volume and probability,” and shared the lessons he learned through those experiences.

He also touched on a period after switching to the real estate industry when he was unable to achieve the results he had hoped for, leading him to realize that “I lacked a sense of professionalism.”

From that point on, he continued to invest in himself—such as by learning top-tier customer service at a luxury hotel and participating in sales training at his own expense—and explained that by persistently “striving to transform quantity into quality,” he was ultimately able to achieve the results he had set as his goal. He urged the students, “First and foremost, take more action than anyone else, and turn that experience into growth.”

■ Four Mindsets Necessary for Professional Growth

In his lecture, he introduced the following four points as essential elements for growing as a professional:

・Set high goals for yourself

・Keeping promises and building trust

・Thoroughly preparing for critical moments

・Not sparing time, effort, or self-investment to achieve results

Furthermore, he shared a real-life example of one of his company’s new hires who set a personal goal higher than the one assigned by the company and secured a contract in one of the fastest times in the company’s history, stating, “Setting high goals changes both how people act and how they think.”

■Don’t Seek Too Much Balance in Your 20s

Toward the end of his lecture, he addressed the younger generation with the message: “If you’re serious about achieving success, don’t focus too much on balance in your 20s.”

He explained that just as athletes engage in voluntary practice outside of games, working professionals can create a significant difference in their future through daily self-improvement—such as reading and studying outside of work hours and maintaining a mindset of learning from seniors.

He concluded his lecture with a powerful appeal to the students: “If you’re serious about achieving success, make an extraordinary effort. Don’t settle for mediocrity.”
