Do not nip the buds of possibility because of conditions. A choice to ensure "a lack of funds does not become a lack of possibility."

One of the mottos we cherish at P-Lab is:

"Do not let a lack of funds become a lack of possibility."

Entering this year, I have been blessed with opportunities to reaffirm the value of this belief. Today, I would like to quietly

share one of those episodes with you here.

The stage is a medical school at a university in Scandinavia.

A team member who experienced a discovery session of our "Possible World" saw great possibility in its effects and placed unwavering trust in it. That alone is something I am deeply grateful for.

Their wish is to deliver the learning from this experience to students nearing graduation. However, at this moment, not all stakeholders within the university are proactive about its introduction. They are currently at the stage of needing a "proof of concept" to gather more understanding supporters and secure a formal budget.

Actually, I have experienced a very similar scene before.

It was the event that led to the introduction of the program at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. At an international conference held on the Gold Coast, although time was limited, I was given the opportunity to provide a demo session. One of the participants there believed in the potential of this program after experiencing it, and stepped forward, saying:

"I want to be the flag-bearer for bringing this to New Zealand!"

From there, we brought together the wisdom and networks we each held, and designed a pilot session. We first conducted this for the students and university staff. Feeling a solid response there, he later firmly secured a budget. Now, this program is integrated into project management and systems thinking lectures, providing students with learning that has evolved through his unique perspective.

Someone receives the seed of possibility, and nurtures it in a rich way that suits their environment.

This is precisely the greatest joy of this work for me. I feel deeply that these encounters, go-en (ご縁, invisible ties and timing), and above all, "believing in possibility," are the very essence of how we continue to grow our business.

Returning the story to the medical school in Scandinavia.

They are advancing plans for a proof of concept in December this year. Ordinarily, the costs for a self-learning program and subscriptions would be required to prepare for this, but currently, only limited funding is available to cover these at full price.

However, during an online meeting, they shared their current budget with us openly, hiding nothing. The sincerity, pure intentions, and lack of ego or attachment behind their graceful actions seeped deeply into my heart.

"I want to imagine the future together with these people."

That is what I genuinely felt.

Here, I would like to make one thing clear.

I have not taken this on as a so-called "charity project." I do have a wish to grow the business to a scale where we are fully capable of making a great social contribution in the future, but right now, we are at a stage where we also value firmly nurturing our business foundation.

Even so, the reason we decided to give them a gentle push on the back this time.

It is simply because imagining that this pilot session will become the "first drop" of the transformation they aim for is, purely, "fun."

P-Lab's mission is to support, with all our hands, heart and soul, the "good causes" that allow that single drop to become a ripple, and spread into a great wave. When the ripples spread, I am certain that new connections will be born, and a healthy flow of money will circulate back as well.

I am sure it will unfold into something fascinating. I believe so.

Every World is up to our Mindset and Actions. Possible World.
