European managers and employees who work with Japan often find that it is difficult to communicate effectively and that the intercultural misunderstandings behind such issues seem impenetrable.

A key to successfully communication in the Japanese business environment is harmony: to understand how to communicate not only with words but also with empathy!

Indeed, successful exchanges with Japanese counterparts require an inhabitual attention to detail and a significant investment in time in order to learn a whole new set of rules of communication.Another key factor is that communication in Asia, especially in Japan, is extremely indirect.

This is where Jochen Möckel's many years of expertise from his work in the industry come into play:
