What our customers and readers say about us

Diane GabrielCommunications Manager
I immediately started to apply the tips and communication strategies I learned in this course. Guess what? They work! The course I took is very specifically focused on Japan and how communication functions there. This was an eye-opener, packed with practical information.
Adrian PearceProgram Management – HA Integration People Team
I just wanted to say GREAT JOB and thank you again for today’s session, incorporating all of our feedback, and covering so many areas with examples and stories that’d benefit any number of our leaders regardless of their division within the company.
Crystal BeaudoinManager, HR Business Partners
I very much appreciate all the information you shared with us in your training. I am looking forward to the next session for our teams as well.
Andy SchneiderCVP People
It was a pleasure to learn from you and work with you! Thank you sincerely. I am sure we will be in touch for more assistance in the future.
Stephen HendersonI/O Trained Intercultural Practitioner
This was a wonderful introduction not only to key Japanese phrases for folks new to the country (I lived in Osaka for 16 years), but also a wonderful explanation of the origin and philosophy behind some of those phrases, which gives people a peek into the cultural underpinnings of the "why" to what might seem like simple ritualized greetings and behaviors. Culture runs deeper than words. If you want to know what that is, I'd highly recommend engaging with Arai-san and Matsuoka-san!’
Peter OngHRD Corp Accredited Trainer
Thank you for such an inspiring seminar! I truly enjoyed it and learned a lot, looking forward to the next one.
Victor HugoDirector
The point you make about the invisible layer behind “yes” feels especially accurate to us. After our participation at the trade show in Tokyo and through several follow-up conversations in Japan, we have found that it is not always easy to clearly interpret when a positive response actually leads to a concrete next step. At least, that has been part of our experience so far.

Your explanation is especially valuable for those of us who are building long-term relationships with Japanese companies and seeking to better understand not only communication itself, but also the context in which decisions are formed.

I truly appreciate your sharing these kinds of perspectives. They will certainly be very helpful as we continue refining the way we build relationships and follow up more effectively in Japan.
Andrew Goins
I like how the Japanese work culture functions. It is new to me, yet cool to me too.
You’re a wealth of information. I’ve learned more from you than any other about Japan.
