Genuine mutual understanding is a key component of every successful relationship between Japanese and Western companies. However, achieving effective communication involves much more than overcoming the language barrier; the parties concerned must also take into account cultural differences between Japan and the West. Intercultural coaching can help you avoid the blunders or misinterpretations that can undermine inter-company relations.
Drawing on more than thirty years’ experience of working with Japanese companies, our managing director, Franck Tiret, can provide expert advice on every aspect of your interactions with potential and existing Japanese partners, including:
How to greet Japanese clients
How to prospect for new clients in Japan
How to negotiate with Japanese people
How to work with Japanese colleagues/partners
How to manage Japanese staff
How to decipher Japanese corporate culture
How to apply your intercultural intelligence
How to successfully move to and work in Japan
All our intercultural coaching programs are tailor-made to meet your specific requirements, whether you are:
Negotiating a partnership (import/export, licensing, acquisition, etc.),
Setting up an office/agency/factory/subsidiary in Japan,
Managing human resources, managing in a bicultural context,
Preparing internal or corporate communication materials,
Resolving deadlocks, labor disputes, commercial disagreements, etc.
Depending on your needs, intercultural coaching can be provided via:

Analyses of intercultural communication situations,
Advice on specific issues,
Presence of a consultant at negotiations or discussions,
