There is no one style of Asian communication, both among and within countries. With a focus on China, Korea and Japan, Hilka will discuss the cultural differences you need to consider when communicating at all levels from corporations to consumers.
She will welcome active interaction with attendees. Please bring a list of questions with you.
Hilka Klinkenberg helps her clients develop their global leadership and team-building capabilities by providing them with the knowledge and skills they need in order to understand, to manage and to leverage the cultural differences that allow them to become more polished, to outshine the competition, and to avoid costly faux pas at home and abroad.

Then she has supported them in implementing these techniques until their desired results are achieved.
