Cultural Awareness Training

J. Hammock & Associates has conducted cultural awareness training for major corporations who want to improve their business relations with Japanese partners or prospective partners. The two cultures are very different, and a different set of communication skills are required.

Training consists of the following:

• Japan 101
• Japanese communication style
• Do's and Don'ts with Japanese
• Japanese decision making
• Business meeting etiquette
• Japanese customs and manners
• Problem solving with the Japanese

We customize our training for your particular needs—from prepping for a one-time visit to preparing expats and their families for an extended stay.
