Xpat Success – Training for expatriates
Preparing Japanese expatriates for success.
How can Japanese expats gain the mindsets and skills to perform effectively in a global environment?
Once expats leave Japan, they find that business cultures and communication styles are very different. Confusion about how to function in their new environment often causes expats to underperform.
Xpat Success teaches expats how to recognize those misunderstandings and how to employ the right working and communication styles to perform effectively.
We invite you to complete our current survey on “The State of Japanese Expats”. Participants will receive a report on the survey results, which will give you valuable benchmark data on your expat program.

J-Global Digital Learning
Are your staff allergic to global communication?
- I'm afraid to answer the phone when I think it's in English. Awareness of weakness in answering telephone calls in English.
- Often used as a listener at international meetings. He can't keep up with speed and tends to be silent.
- I feel he isn't saying what he has to say. Often he can't instantly decide what to do. I sometimes wonder if I should have said this at that time.
- I can't be active in learning a foreign language I'm worried that the speed of learning a foreign language is slow
Are there any of your staff who are experiencing the above subjective symptoms?
This is not a problem resulting from a lack of language proficiency. Mindset is an important issue.
Your staff’s language skills are good, but he’s not confident that he can use them effectively because of his lack of cross-cultural skills.
By acquiring the cross-cultural skills necessary to make the most of your current language skills, you can increase your confidence in global communication and develop a positive awareness.
