Local Challenges for Global Success
　講師：ライマン アンドリュー Andrew Reimann 氏 （宇都宮大学国際学部　准教授　 Associate Professor, International Department, Utsunomiya University）

What are the most important skills needed to be successful in today’s world? Globalization offers opportunities for visionaries and those able to challenge new ideas. Success in this rapidly changing world requires being able to adapt, predict, improvise and pioneer new ideas while challenging old ones. At the core of this skill set is an awareness, understanding and acceptance that differences, risk or uncertainty are not obstacles but resources.
