WORKING EFFECTIVELY WITH JAPANESE ONLINE SEMINAR (E Coast time zone) November 15, 2022

Our Working Effectively with Japanese online seminar will answer many of the questions you may have such as:

“Why do Japanese take so long to make decisions?”

“Why don’t Japanese give clear instructions?”

“How can I tell a Japanese person that I disagree with them without offending them?”

“What’s the best way to get my contacts in Japan to answer my questions more quickly?”

“Why do Japanese fall asleep in meetings?”

“Why do Japanese work such long hours – do they expect me to too?”

Americans who work with Japanese usually have many such questions, but no good place to get the answers. This seminar is a golden opportunity to get your questions answered by an expert who is highly skilled in explaining the intricacies of Japanese business and society.

The seminar will also feature explanations of proper Japanese etiquette for meals and social activities.
