I’m working in Osaka, Japan as a business English instructor and cross cultural communications coach, supporting corporations in Japan who are looking to expand internationally.
I work with Japanese professionals across industries like manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to help them build communication skills with clients and colleagues in Europe, US, Canada, and around the world.
We work on various business skills from negotiating contracts to facilitating a ZOOM meeting across 3 time zones.
It’s the most fun I’ve ever had at work: somehow I get to bring my 7 years in the US tech world, international sales experience, passion for enabling sales people, and love of correcting grammar into this role.
Japanese corporate culture is fascinating and most days I learn more than my students do.
