Overseas Business Adventure

Taro Sasaki had a stable job at a large Japanese electronics company until his manager suddenly assigned him to a project in New York. This is Taro's first time doing business overseas, and he is nervous about his English level and working with non-Japanese colleagues. With the help of his Communication Coach, he must develop the skills necessary to interact effectively in international business.

Taro will need to overcome communication challenges, including his own fear of speaking in English and responding quickly, and work through his mistakes to be successful in his role.

Replay your final meeting again and again to see how different responses will lead to various results, and receive feedback from your coach based on how you interact with others. Practice responding quickly and concisely to leave a positive impression!
