Participants' comments:
"Today's seminar was a great opportunity. I learned how to present myself, contact to clients and become successful in global business. You made shy and humble Japanese participants active and energetic." - Sales representative, Web Applications Company
"It was a great ‘scales falling from my eyes’ (mekara uroko) experience for me yesterday. It is very instructive and nice to lead people like us Japanese get out of being shy. The biggest barrier for Japanese to use English is “mind-set” about self-confidence. " - Coordinator, IC Manufacturer
"I could give a more clear, confident presentation and it was very interesting. Especially, the difference between Japanese business style and foreign countries business style." - Sales Engineer, Trading Company
