The social business community WACCEL (Location: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Organizer: Yoshihiro Shimamura; General Producer: Tomohiro Sumitani) will host the "13th Biten Hakken® Classroom: Human Resource Development & Leadership Edition" on Monday, May 25, 2026. The event will feature Kazunori Hoketsu, a Biten Hakken® advisor collaborating with WACCEL, as the instructor.
Celebrating its 1st anniversary, this will be the 13th iteration of the Biten Hakken® Classroom.
The theme for this session is "Human Resource Development & Leadership," which has received the most feedback and requests to date.
What is the new "way of looking at people" necessary in an era where "praising alone does not develop people"?
In recent years, the corporate world has seen a worsening of issues related to people not growing, such as:
- Difficulty building relationships with subordinates
- Employees quitting when reprimanded
- Praising having no effect
- Managers becoming exhausted
Amidst this, the "Biten Hakken®" method, developed by mental health expert Yasuyuki Sato, has been gaining attention.
This method was born from a new perspective: "Before trying to change the other person, changing your own perspective can turn the relationship itself around."
In this event, through the "Biten Hakken®" practice using paper and pen, participants will re-evaluate their "perspective" on relationships with:
- Workplace colleagues
- Bosses and subordinates
- Friends
- Family
- Partners
In this "HR Development & Leadership Edition," the workshop will proceed in an output-oriented format, focusing on real issues occurring in the workplace, such as "Why do my words not resonate with my subordinates?" and "Why does the organization fall out of sync despite everyone working hard?"
[Voices from Participants]
Feedback from past participants includes:
- "It was an opportunity to rethink how I interact with my subordinates."
- "I realized I was trying to change the other person."
- "It was a chance to review communication in my marital relationship and at the workplace."
- "I felt my 'perspective on seeing people' had changed."
- "I thought I would try 'Biten Hakken' with my wife."
Human beings are inherently entities with infinite potential and value.
The instructor, Kazunori Hoketsu, has 20 years of field experience as a former wallpaper craftsman and currently operates as a "Full Moon Counselor" with 12 years of dialogue experience. Rather than psychological theories or techniques, he conducts practical workshops to re-evaluate the very "perspective" on human relationships and organizations, based on the "Full Moon Perspective" that "human beings are inherently entities with infinite potential and value."
Please experience this shift in perspective regarding human relationships at the venue.
