If you joined the workshop, please do leave a comment on the blog and let everyone know how much you enjoyed it, and it might persuade me to hold another one next year! 🙂

Be genki,

P.S. For those school owners who flew teachers in from other parts of the country ( some teachers took 2 flights to attend!) then you still can invite me to do workshops in your school if I’m in country. If we can get the schedule right, it is now 10 man yen per day plus expenses, but it probably works out a lot cheaper than flying your teachers up to the workshops and all your staff get to attend! Plus it’s better for the environment. 🙂
I attended the workshop on Sunday 7/28 and I was impressed. Everything was so “Genki” , instructive and very effective . Thank you , Richard !
