As a professional woman working with Japan, the myth of Japanese culture can be confusing and intimidating. But we have a perfect solution for you.

Japan has been placed 110th out of 149 countries in the World Economic Forum’s global gender equality rankings for 2018.  The nation rose four places from 114th in a year, but this ranking is significantly behind other advanced economies.  Did Japan fail to correct a gender gap and choose to remain to be a male-dominant society?  Or are there any other factors in Japanese culture which lead to this result? 

Over 30 years, IntXel (former Rowland & Associates) has listened to thousands of participants and created the Japan for Women program based on participants' specific questions and needs. They have considerable concerns about professional women embarking on working relationships with Japanese due to the way Japan looks in history, publications and news. The Japan for Women cross-cultural program offers insight into the qualities of female leaders in Japan.  Through case study analysis and activities, participants practice strategies for negotiation, presentation, conflict transformation, and protocol.  We are confident that this program will help you to deepen your cultural competence and to improve your work relationship and productivity with your Japanese counterparts. 

Here are some of the comments from previous participants.

"This seminar is a fantastic blend of sociology, psychology and practical cultural application." 

"This seminar provided great insight into the cultural differences between the US & Japan and will help me be a better communicator in the future." – Sharon Haverlak, VP People & Culture

"I highly recommend this training to anyone that works closely with Japanese culture. It has helped me soo much!  Thanks, Intxel for everything!"  - Amy Shetler, Office Assistant

Are you an expat from Japan and confused or overly challenged by your new role? Have you ever felt that Japanese expats in your workplace are having cultural difficulties? You have come to the right place!

Expats from Japan and locally hired Japanese employees often have many questions about US colleagues' behaviors and expectations.  Confusion and unresolved misunderstandings lead them to be isolated or in a misinformation loop from other expats, potentially creating friction between them and US colleagues. 

IntXel offers USA Program for Japanese in Japanese. The USA Program helps expats from Japan and locally hired Japanese employees to understand how very different the two countries are historically and culturally, and to be able to reach a productive middle ground with US employees by shifting their perspective.
