Self-Introduction | Improving Work and Life with the 'Power to Convey'

Hello. My name is Rimi Saito.

In this note, I share tips on speaking, writing, and presentations, focusing on the theme of "the power to convey."

Whether it's business meetings, sales, training, or daily communication—no matter how good your ideas or experiences are, if they don't reach the other person, their value is not fully realized.

"What are you trying to say?"
For those who have been asked this, I hope to provide hints that will help you feel, even just a little, that you have truly "conveyed" your message.

*Note: When I first started this note, I wrote articles on health and dieting for people in their 50s. Therefore, some articles about maintaining physical and mental well-being remain.

Health is also an important foundation that supports work and life, and it remains one of my key themes.

■ Self-Introduction

Name: Rimi Saito
Age: 59
Residence: Tokyo
Occupation: Corporate Training Instructor / Business Coach
Family: Husband and a son in his second year of high school
Hobbies: Strength training, aerobic exercise, watching movies and videos

After graduating from university in 1990, I joined a major recruitment magazine company and started my career in sales. After working in sales leadership and knowledge management departments, I became involved in sales education and training program development, and subsequently gained experience in human resource development and organizational development at several companies.

Currently, as a corporate training instructor, I conduct sessions over 200 days a year and have supported the learning of over 10,000 people across more than 1,500 companies. Additionally, for individuals, I hold presentation courses on Street Academy (Street-A) to support the improvement of their "power to convey."

In May 2026, I published the Kindle book
"Don't Let Them Say 'What Are You Trying to Say?': Instant Communication Skills - How to Structure Your Talk as Taught by a Professional Instructor".

■ The 'Power to Convey' Changes Your Life

For many years, I have observed the presentations and communication styles of many business professionals.

What I feel strongly through that experience is the reality that

value that is not conveyed can sometimes be the same as not existing at all.

Excellent ideas.
Abundant experience.
Sincere effort.

Even if these have value in themselves, if they are not conveyed to the other person, they are often difficult to be appreciated.

That is why I believe the "power to convey" is not just a speaking technique, but an essential skill for correctly delivering your own value.

■ What I want to share in this note

In this note, I will share tips on improving your 'power of communication' through:

• presentation concepts

• how to structure your talk

• how to organize your writing

• book reviews

• daily insights

and more.I will be sharing tips to enhance your 'power of communication'.

Speaking in front of others and writing are essentially the same.

'To whom,'
'what you want them to gain,'
'and what you are conveying'

By clarifying these three points, your words will become much easier to convey.

■ Who this is for

• Those who are asked 'What exactly are you trying to say?' in meetings

• Those who feel uncomfortable with presentations

• Those who want to better articulate their thoughts

• Those who want to improve their writing skills

• Those who want to deliver specialized knowledge in a more understandable way

■ Finally

Both speaking and writing are not special talents; they can be polished through mindset and practice.

Being able to convey your thoughts just a little better than yesterday.
The accumulation of such small changes will significantly transform your work and life.

I hope this note serves as a catalyst for developing your 'power of communication'.

If you find an article that interests you, I would be delighted if you would follow me.
