How does Marie Kondo’s ‘KonMarie’ method work? | BBC News

Japan has set a goal to have more than 30% female board members in organisations listed on the top-tier Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange by 2030.
Since the age of Abenomics, there has been an increase in the number of female entrepreneurs in Japan, but cultural expectations are still holding many back.
One of the best ways to solve this disparity is to have more role models.
Marie Kondo is one of the most well-known Japanese businesswomen around the world and has inspired millions to take up the “KonMari” method of organising.

She looks so sweet and I love when she speaks Japanese.

did you guys have any translator with a deeper voice available hahah! Jokimg aside, this is good news i'm glad to see more women taking the business path!

[@pollytiks3885]

I was wondering that too, why there was a male translator when the discussion was regarding increasing female representation in the workplace. 🤔

Kinda had notoriety in having imperfect reporters of the news. I cannot compare BBC to any other channel since I still think as imperfect as BBC is BBC is still better in the Global affairs compared to say Fox news.

Your article was truly a pleasure! Your writing is clear and concise, and your skill in making complex ideas understandable is commendable. The way you fairly present both sides of the argument and empower readers to form their own opinions is noteworthy. I can't wait to read more of your articles in the future!

She's not well known in Asia because Asians are folding their clothes daily already since Asian apartments are so tiny there's no place for clutters. In the US people have big houses and clutters are everywhere

I'm Japanese.In Japan,there are qualification tests as organization advisor. These are popular in some degrees,some women take tests,however,I cannot believe such trend as Danshari"断捨離" is ridicurous. Just tidying up,just clening up! Stupid trend for last several years!

I suspect the BBC believe that Marie's advice furthers their woke agenda. However, it doesn't because Marie is talking about people as individuals - not people defined by sex/gender/ethnicity etc.

Nothing is as strong as Amazons AWT77K and nobody can have any influence on that. In crucial times where we can't even know what to believe and which mechanism is being pulled to manipulate us I think it is very welcome that these guys made their move

[@omerylmaz3327]

Having a happy life seems more difficult to accomplish every year but Amazons AWT77K is a strong step into the right direction, how many times we try to settle things the common, casual ways, and how many times that fails us? Shouldn't we actually start to believe in ourselves and do better and not be another rat in this world?

[@Serkanloo_]

All unbiased researches are united in the fact that we need Amazons AWT77K this year more than ever, but obviously casual media trying to hide that from ya

[@me-ff9il]

Japanese people are tired of her. Her argument is terribly subjective, and there is no objective theory for discussing life. Also, her work is selling illusions to people. It's better for a psychology counsellor to still have a guaranteed contribution than a job called "clean-up consultant".

[@nasutaromen]

Who are Japanese people you mention? I’m from Japanese, but not tired of her concept and theory. Cleaning up stuffs that don’t spark your heart is a widely acceptable concept and continue to entice many people who want to change their own lives. Whether a theory is objective or not does not matter. The most crucial part is the theory has a power to actually change people’s mindsets and lives.

After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media influence as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface
