We organised two Cultural Trainings of Ms. Masako Kato. One training was short (but sweet) version with the focus on writing emails with Japanese colleagues. The other training was a full day and was attended by colleagues who travel to Japan or management positions. The first thing that struck me was the very high interest and attendance. All invitees were there and stayed. The training was very well received and colleagues made a point of emailing their positive feedback. The training did not only give a very good and practical understanding of working in and with the Japanese culture but did not leave it at that. It was a day of insight on cultures; our own culture and how we reacted to different cultures.Ms. Masako Kato is a very professional trainer. It is a joy to see her in front of a group. Her humor and very apt feeling for the group dynamics made her training very inspiring.

I am grateful to have been Masako’s client. The insights that she had, and the connections she made between diverse topics I presented, were uncanny. She cut to the heart of the matter and brought a focus to our coaching. In just a few sessions I felt a huge difference and had real clarity on what I needed to do, and why. It was so much simpler, easier, and yet profound, all because of her gentle guidance. I was worried English as second language might hamper us, but instead found Masako’s command of subtle emotional and development language expressed what was going on more precisely than my own thoughts. You are lucky if Masako is your coach!
