John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word
Even a short phrase from the Bible is open to all kinds of interpretation.
The Mehrabian rule of 7%-38%-55% applies to dialogues. Even here, the beginning consists of words. However, words have wings.
Ms. Shibahara says that the images conjured up by the word “tree” and the word “ki” (Japanese word for tree) are not the same. This is because the essence of the uttered word needs to be resonate with what is communicated from the heart.
In the world of politics as well, language is of utmost importance. Words and actions need to be consistent in order to lead to trust. The field of law consists of words and concepts. Ms. Shibahara lets words shine through in a variety of situations. We look forward to her future.
