Transforming Communication Skills: A Special Lecture by Takafumi Horie

In today's competitive world, effective communication is key, especially for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Recognizing this need, Zero High School is excited to announce a unique event titled "The Master of Presentations". This special lecture will be led by Hiroki Koga, a renowned presentation coach, who has extensive experience in guiding entrepreneurs and management professionals.

The Importance of Presentation Skills

Meet Takafumi Horie, also known as the leading figure behind this initiative. Horie has evaluated countless presentations, and he emphasizes the significance of moving an audience in just three minutes. His practical presentation method has proven beneficial, with participants ranging from entrepreneurs to university and high school students. The goal here is not just to convey information but to inspire action.

This year, Koga will conduct a series of three special sessions, integrating the foundational structure of presentations with the dreams and aspirations of students aspiring to become entrepreneurs. This tailored approach allows attendees to articulate their ideas and effectively motivate their audience, thus refining their presentation skills.

After graduating from a university in Australia, he spent 14 years working in the marketing and product development division at adidas Japan. In 2016, he founded his own company, and in 2019 he organized and managed the “Miyakojima Winter Festival,” which attracted about 6,000 people.

The Master of Presentations Course Details

The upcoming course will be held on June 3, Tuesday, from 10:00 to 11:30. This session is specially designed for high school students who will receive the same rigorous training typically offered to business leaders. The course focuses on the notion that presentations are a means to achieve something rather than an end in themselves. It aims to develop the ability to move hearts and inspire action within a limited time frame.
