– a conversation with Violet Pacileo
Have you ever wanted to do something – especially in Japan – but been frustrated when you were told that it was impossible because of the rules?
Or maybe you’ve been asked to do something, but felt that you had to say “No” because of the rules? Perhaps you were worried about what might happen if you broke them? And you didn’t feel comfortable asking someone higher up for an exception?
Whether you’re a rule keeper or a rule questioner, I invite you to enjoy the perspectives of Violet Pacileo in our conversation in Episode 128 of the Sasuga! Podcast. You’ll hear
- How Violet left a 15-year career in the finance industry in Tokyo and moved with her family of 5 to Otoyo in Kochi Prefecture, where she’s setting up a Crossfit facility and doing what she can to help revitalize the town
- How to sound convincing in the workplace and not as if you’re complaining as a woman
- How Japan’s first marginalized village – Otoyo in Kochi Prefecture – needs private investment from big companies, not just tourism, to revitalize (can you help?)
Enjoy!
