Kokorozashi Stories

Every student has a kokorozashi story.
Cammille Cruz
Founder and CEO, SHiN Japanese Language and Training Center
Philippines, 2017 Full-time MBA
Cammille first became a Japanese language teacher in 2007. Though lacking in experience, resources, and connections, she knewthat she wanted to start her own Japanese language school in the Philippines someday, bridging cultures and peoples. After
working in IT for ten years, including five years in Japan, her vision of creating the school became significantly clearer. She enrolledin GLOBIS to equip herself with the necessary skills and knowledge to start a business of her own.
Sharing both her struggles and successes with classmates and lecturers allowed her to deepen her sense of purpose. Soon after
graduation, she returned to the Philippines and started her own Japanese school. She feels that starting her school was the greatest
success of her career so far, as it allows her to transform students’ lives.

Takuya Furubayashi
Founder and CEO, Iromusubi Co., Ltd
Japan, 2016 Part-time MBA
While working at a major Japanese IT company, Takuya felt continually obligated to do what he must do, rather than what hewanted to do. Then, in his thirties, he decided to take control over his path forward. During his two-year MBA at GLOBIS, Takuya
spent a lot of time and energy questioning who he was and how he could contribute to society.
The answers helped him to reach his personal mission of revitalizing rural Japan through business. Shortly after graduation, he quit
his IT job of ten years and moved with his family to rural Niigata to start a business. Today, he continues to pursue his kokorozashi torevitalize the rural economy by introducing hidden gems of Niigata to urban dwellers.

Become One of Tomorrow’s Visionary Leaders

The best and brightest are no longer expected to follow, but to lead. This is why finding your life’s purpose, or kokorozashi
in Japanese, is the fundamental building block of our curriculum. It’s what sets GLOBIS apart from other business schools.
Whether you want to start your own company or bring renewed innovation to the biggest names in business, we will
help you find the purpose that is unique to you, as well as the skills and network to make it into a reality. This is how
GLOBIS puts people in the driver’s seat of their career, helping them to achieve their most fulfilled selves.
Finding your purpose means enjoying work that you can do better than others. Through this work, you cancontribute to the people around you and to society in a meaningful way. You will also strive to become better,
continuing to hone your skills and knowledge. What more could we ask for in our lives and careers?
The journey to find and better yourself is not an easy one — I know this from personal experience. That is why
having a community like GLOBIS is essential. Each individual, be they student or faculty, believes in the potential
for growth and transformation in everyone and continues to strive upwards.
My hope is that every GLOBIS student is inspired to make society a better place and feels confident thatthey have the tools to make it happen. With the passion and dedication of our community, we will support
you every step of the way.
