Presidents Session in Globis | Day in the Life of an MBA Student in Japan

January 9, 2206 marked an important milestone for the GLOBIS Full-Time MBA 2025 cohort—our interactive dialogue session with President Yoshito Hori.

As a cohort, we designed the session together: choosing themes, organizing questions, and planning how to maximize the opportunity to learn from the founder of GLOBIS himself. As the Cohort Representative, I worked closely with the leadership team behind the scenes—coordinating, supporting logistics, and capturing photos and videos to help document this moment for everyone.

More importantly, this session signaled the start of Module 3, right after the winter break—a perfect moment to reconnect, reset, and re-energize for what’s ahead.

The conversation with Hori-san cut across many themes that matter deeply to us:

The evolution and vision behind GLOBIS

The future of Japan and emerging opportunities for global talent

How AI is reshaping education, leadership, and the way we work

The entrepreneurial mindset required to build organizations that thrive in uncertainty

Hearing directly from the person who built GLOBIS from the ground up reminded us why we chose to study here—not just for the curriculum, but for the spirit of innovation and purpose that lies behind it.

As we move into our next modules, we carry not just new frameworks, but a renewed sense of inspiration and responsibility. Excited for the challenges (and growth) ahead.

Onward.
