How to Become a Japanese Cross-Cultural Craftsman w/ Graeme Lawrence

On this episode of Small Business Japan I talk with Graeme Lawrence, a lifelong student and teacher of cross-cultural craftsmanship and translating. Find out his tips for doing better business with the Japanese. Graeme has used Japanese in a business environment since 1988, working for the European subsidiaries of Hitachi, Panasonic, Honda and other multinationals. Before going independent, his roles included in-house translator/interpreter, logistics manager at a Japanese biotechnology firm, and cultural advisor to British CEOs. Graeme facilitates cross-cultural corporate training workshops on behalf of Belgium-based Japan Consulting Office (JCO) and is a graduate of the University of Shizuoka.
