About Success Japan Initiative
Since 1986, Kawatani Takashi (Tak) has been trying to facilitate crosscultural understanding within Japanese and international firms doing business with Japanese firms. In the process, Tak has been witnessing disparity of beliefs among people.
After coming back from a 17-year global training journey traveling out of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Tak has started Success Japan Initiative in 2017 in Tokyo. He feels this world is full of egos and antagonism and that Japanese Way could play a role to turn it to be a peaceful place: healing by the Middle Way 中庸 , balancing by natural way 自然体 and harmonising by appreciation 報恩.
Tak is an award-winning crosscultural management consultant, raised in Japan. Tak is now calling out for like-minded or different-minded! individuals and interculturalists to join him in his activities...someone passionate about co-project, co-writing, co-training or co-anything!
