Day 4 Reflect to Grow Monzukuri, making something by hand. It takes a certain amount of pride to make something of quality, today I had the pleasure of making my own cloth (for the missus) in a competitive environment. We all went to the Nishijin Textile Centre, were lined up on weaving machines and were coached on how to make some cloth. Clearly from the start we were outlined that there would be prizes based on most improved, and the best quality and finish. Funny how once we started it all became a bit of a race, you’d look at your competitors (my cohort) around me to see their progress and rushed to catch up. Then i finished and looked at my finished cloth. I realised that my cloth started off poor, as i got used to the machine, improved when i concentrated on quality and resembled a birds nest three quarters of the way through and finished much as id started. I realise from this lesson, its easy to lose focus on your goals especially when looking at what the competition is doing… what did i want to achieve? Quality? To be first? Makes you think… For the afternoon we had the honour of visiting the Myoshin-ji temple. This was really touching for me. We experienced Zen, the art of meditation.. we walked through beautiful zen gardens, yin and yang by design surrounded by 800 year old temples. I was asked to look at a rock in a garden and describe what it meant to me, it was surrounded by pebbles raked into what could be resembled as waves. We then lay and watched the garden for 20 minutes or so. To me I saw myself, surrounded by ripples which were the negative in my life. If they were gone it would be like a still pond. I was then fortunate to partake in a tea ceremony which was an emotional and humbling experience. The effort that goes into that tea making was like a trance. The focus from the tea master was on me… the centre of attention, exactly what my customer should experience when using our services. In order to hear… listen in order to see .. open your eyes… be present in every moment. Treat customers as guests in your home. Nothing you do as a leader is complete without sincerity… Be sincere. #zen #reflection #sincerity #perception #selfgrowthjourney

China's pet-friendly retail is on the rise, especially in cities like Shanghai, Chengdu, and Shenzhen, where young consumers are driving demand. C·PARK in Shanghai, which opened in September 2023, is a prime example, offering expansive play areas for pets. With China’s pet economy projected to hit 811.4 billion yuan by 2025, brands are racing to capture this growing market. A shift toward high-end, personalized pet services—grooming, fashion, and even pet photography is also emerging. Pet-friendly spaces are becoming not just shopping destinations, but also social hubs, fostering a new kind of community-driven retail experience. #Retail #PetEconomy #China Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gmp772UW
