The training kicked off with a presentation and discussion led by JI CEO, Ruth Marie Jarman, on the current status of globalization in Japan, how to be a team player capable of hitting the ground running, and the three types of international visitors to Japan.

This was followed by three interactive sessions facilitated by JI Partner and trainer, Austin Auger, on how to identify your strengths and weaknesses (using the Belbin Team Roles Assessment), differences in communication styles (high-context vs. low-context) across cultures, and how to be a good listener and communicator to increase innovation and organizational capabilities.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and open-mindedness of all five participants, the day was a tremendous success.

Committed to helping companies, government agencies, and local municipalities in Japan access the global market, JI offers globalization training as part of our regular consulting and training service lineup.

If you would like to discuss how we can support your business’s training needs and ensure that your employees can thrive as Japan continues to globalize, feel free to get in touch. We would love to hear from you!

Beautiful art and traditional furniture make Onsen Guesthouse Tsutaya in Hakone a one-of-a-kind place to stay. Each piece is curated by the owners, Shimada Group Holdings, with the same sense of chic modern retro as their other hotels and restaurants.

General Manager Daiki gave our three consultants a thorough tour of the facilities and highlighted how they have made this place into a perfect getaway in Hakone. Just up the street from Yamagusuri restaurant which features delicious tororo-don (grated yam over rice)  and the world-renowned Fujiya Hotel, Onsen Guesthouse Tsutaya is another iconic addition to the historic locale. From perfectly appointed capsule sleeper pods, a well-equipped kitchen, autonomous lodging for workation guests or families, and the most deliciously salty hot spring water the area is known for, we hope to help Onsen Guesthouse Tsutaya get their information out to the world.

Jarman International continues to make consulting trips at the request of Japanese companies and regions to leverage our expertise and “international eye” to help tell their story to internationals living both in Japan and abroad.
