授業後の時間は先生たちとのコミュニケーション時間！
コーディネートしていただいた理容科の冨野先生、初対面の美容科の今野先生との呑み会だ。これが醍醐味だよね。
今回の帯広のお店は今野先生が寿司屋でアルバイトしていた時の後輩のお店らしい。
それにしても帯広の街の印象だが、日中は観光客の皆さま、特に年配の旅行者さんが多いのかな～皆さん帯広駅前から、どこかの名所へ出かけているので、市内は静かなんだな～なんて感じでしたが。。
夜になると。。。
ガンガン人が出てきます💦
凄いです！急に繁華街になりました！
帯広って実は夜の街のようです！
印象違い過ぎて帯広がさらに好きになります❣️

さて私の授業のフィードバックは如何だったでしょうか？？
数名でも魅力を感じてくれたり、可能性を見出してくれたりしてくれたら嬉しいな～理容師の仕事を面白がってくれたら嬉しいな～って思っていましたが、意外や意外、結構面白がってくれていたようです。
まあ社交辞令マシマシだとはおもいますが、まあ手応えあり！
ということで勝手に認識させていただきます。

先生二人は２６歳と３１歳ということで、私と呑んでても面白いのかな～？
なんて思ってSTARTしましたが、二人とも色々と話してくれて助かります。
歳は離れていますが通常営業で、あまりGAPを私は感じないんですよね。
自社では”とりあえずビール”は『昭和ですね～令和を好きな飲み物を個別に頼みます』なんて言われていますが、この二人はとりあえず”サッポロクラシック生で”とSTARTしてくれたので、とっても仲良くなりました❗️
若い先生たちも学生とのGAPに悩んでいるようです。そうなの？と私も？でしたが、色々とあるようです。年齢は違えど世代間ＧＡＰというものは絶えなくあるようですね。
先輩、上司とのＧＡＰも少なからずあるでしょうね。
結局、私と言えば、優しい二人を良いことに気持ち良く呑ませていただきました。年下に甘えるオジサン。という構図で帯広の夜を楽しませていただきました。
甘えついでに、また訪問させていただきます。
今野先生のラップバトルも楽しみです♫

しかしこれも時間をかけて、何度も認知をデザインして、リアルの訪問するどぶ板営業だと思っています。学生とのふれあい、先生との情報交換を足を運んで対面で行う価値、プロセスが私の強みであり価値だと思っています。

これからも後輩にも甘えまくって結果、笑顔あふれる世の中を創れるように頑張って参ります。

では、また。

After class, we had time to communicate with the teachers! We went out for drinks with Professor Tomino from the Barber Department, who coordinated the event, and Professor Konno from the Beauty Department, whom I met for the first time. This was the best part. The restaurant in Obihiro this time was apparently the restaurant of a junior colleague from when Professor Konno was working part-time at a sushi restaurant. My impression of Obihiro was that during the day, there were a lot of tourists, especially older tourists, and everyone was going to some famous place from Obihiro Station, so the city was quiet. But at night… People just came out in droves (lol) It was amazing! It suddenly became a busy downtown area (lol) Obihiro seems to be a night town! The impression was so different that it made me like Obihiro even more!

So, what was the feedback on my class? ? I was hoping that even a few people would find it attractive or see the potential in it, and that they would find the work of a barber interesting, but surprisingly, they seemed to find it quite interesting. Well, I guess it’s just polite talk, but I think it was worth it! I’ll just accept it as such.

The two teachers are 26 and 31 years old, so I wondered if it would be fun to drink with me, but they both talked about various things, which was helpful. Although there is an age difference, I don’t feel much of a gap between them. At my company, when I say “beer for now,” I’m told, “That’s Showa, I’ll order my favorite drink for Reiwa,” but these two started with “Sapporo Classic on tap,” so I really liked them (lol). It seems that young teachers are also worried about the gap with students. I thought, “Is that so? Me too?”, but it seems that there are various things. Even if we are different in age, there seems to be a generational gap that never ends. There must be a gap between seniors and superiors (lol). In the end, as for me, I was able to drink with the kind two comfortably. An old man who is spoiled by younger people. With that composition, I enjoyed my night in Obihiro. I’ll visit again while I’m at it, taking advantage of the opportunity.

However, I see this as taking time, designing awareness many times, and visiting in person to make sales. I believe that the value of interacting with students and exchanging information with teachers face-to-face, and the process, are my strengths and values.

I will continue to take advantage of my juniors, and as a result, I will do my best to create a world full of smiles.

See you again.
