WE TEACH CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE FIRST
Many programs teach “better English.” We start with: How is your message received in U.S. business culture?
​
We help you understand:
-
How U.S. boards, investors, and executives listen and decide
-
How Japanese communication patterns are often interpreted overseas
-
Which habits to keep (credibility, preparation, humility)
-
Which habits to adjust (too much detail, indirect asks, soft voice, limited eye contact)
​
Cultural coaching is provided in Japanese so executives can fully explore the nuances of US/Japanese business communication.
​​​
