What Participants Say about Tak’s Programs
2 days vs. 5 years
Banker, Singapore
What I learned in this 2 day Diversity Manager course is much deeper than what I learned in my 5 years employment at my bank
Turn complex to simple
HR consultant, Vietnam
My company now encounters many problems with non-Japanese staff. Kawatani sensei was able to take the complex and make it simple. I was surprised that he pointed out areas where I could do things better. The session is very much tuned in to where I was. Sensei was very approachable and encouraging, and it was really fun! I learnt the concrete steps to connect with Japanese people. I hope this seminar will reach more people and wish every foreigner success at Japanese companies.
Incredibly Helpful!
Intercultural Coach, Language Teacher, USA
Highly recommendable! I just recently participated in one of the sessions myself and found it extremely insightful. Both intercultural trainers and professionals doing business with Japan will find these sessions incredibly helpful. No matter how much you think you know, there is always something new to discover. Never stop learning and discovering!
A bridge with top management
Manufacturing, production control, Malaysia
Thanks to this program, I have been able to understand, for the first time, what my Japanese president was thinking. Before the program, we had all kinds of misperceptions about each other that were hard to untie. I hope Mr. Kawatani will continue to serve as a bridge between us and top management. Thank you very much.
Putting fuel to the fire!
Senior Security Manager, Hong Kong
Security issues require fine skills of business discussion with Tokyo office colleagues and seniors. Due to time pressure and their too detailed discussion, I have been under a lot of stress, hence ending up with fighting with them. I guess my style was adding fuel to the fire only. I found today effective ways to make them happy while getting things done on my side.

Tetsu Horie
Executive Coach, Consultant, Advisor, Lecturer, Facilitator
I have known Kawatani san for 20 years. He is such a “rare talent” that of course knows Japan, Japanese companies and Japanese people, but also is familiar completely with overseas organization and individual behaviors with cultural perspectives from the experiences of his own and the work he was engaged in. The contents of his lectures, workshops and books are all valuable inputs for those in inter-cultural environments. Kawatani san is also a wonderful person with various hobbies. I respect Kawatani san.
Paul Jaffe
Intercultural Consultant - Bridging the Japan-U.S Culture and Communication Gap
I have had the privilege to be associated with Takashi Kawatani for 30 years. He helped me get started in the field of intercultural training, and I still consider him one of my go-to people when I have something I want to discuss. He has a great depth of experience across a variety of cultures, and he also has a gift for understanding what is important to people. He is not a guy who starts up in the air with theory, but rather knows how to make things happen on the ground, and applies theories when it will help people grasp something important. He helps people gain new understanding and skills, gets real results.
David Sweeney
General Manager International Human Resources; Penta-Ocean Construction Pte Ltd
I worked with Kawatani san for years in my role has GM HR Asia Pacific Mitsui & Co. He regularly ran our senior management cross-cultural understanding programme and made a real difference to the accelerated globalisation of our company.

I have known Kawatani sensei for over 20 years. He was instrumental in developing me in my early days of career in training. I sincerely appreciate his contribution and support to me. I have also worked with him on several occasions. As a cross-cultural consultant, he is passionate and would go beyond to deliver quality. He is an author of numerous books on cross-cultural in particularly in bridging Japan with other countries. I highly recommend him if anyone is looking for a cross-cultural consultant to bridge your culture with Japan.
Kikue Yamamoto
Personal Leadership Senior Facilitator; Executive Coach
I've know him many years even before his starting his business in Malaysia. He is one of the most convincing and conscientious consultants in my eyes in the area of doing business cross-culturally with the focus on Japan and Asian countries. One of the reasons why he is so successful at that is due to his abundant experiences in business and his use of skills. He is also very balanced as a human being, i.e. in playing in the wilderness with children for hunting giant insects in Malaysia Japanese children love.
Olivier Scandol

Kawatani san was great in our Asian intercultural training session. Thanks to his experience and his listening skills, he was able to give me a multitude of examples and advice. Well done
Dr. Srilalitha Sagi

Mr. Kawatani Takashi known to me through his television series on Japanese Culture, as I am an invitee on his show to talk about Japan and India Culture. His work in the area of Cross Cultural Management and International Business perspectives to coach people about the culture and its impact on doing business is to be appreciated. I find him very well traveled across the countries and did his research on India about the culture, business, history and contemporary issues makes him a very unique professional with skills of diversity coaching in the field of Cross Cultural and Multi Cultural management.
