Customer Voice
[translated from Japanese] Having grown up within Japanese culture, I often found it challenging to exhibit assertiveness in global leadership roles. Despite participating in numerous training programs aimed at overcoming this, very few have focused on actual behavioral changes. What makes James's assertiveness training stand out is its emphasis on practical implementation in real work environments rather than just a shift in mindset. His training offers practical solutions to develop assertive behavior, making it a highly recommended approach for those looking to strengthen their assertiveness.
▶ Koichi Nishijo, Director of a global pharmaceutical company
[translated from Japanese] Having introduced the BEMi program to my workplace from my previous job, I've seen dozens of participants go through it. What makes this program remarkably effective compared to other training programs is that it draws out the self-management skills of participants, who were previously held back by various factors, leading to genuine improvements in assertiveness that go beyond superficial changes. While it’s ultimately up to the participants to remove these inhibiting factors, James skillfully uses content to provide each person with significant insights and support. The speed and timing of participants' transformations vary, with some changing during the program and others experiencing a sudden leap several months or even over a year later. This variability, I believe, stems from the unique factors inhibiting assertiveness for each individual.

[translated from Japanese] For those accustomed to meetings with only Japanese participants and who now need to deliver results in meetings with their overseas headquarters, this training is incredibly effective.
I’ve realized that in international meetings, assertive behavior is more crucial than English conversation skills!

[translated from Japanese]
There are three lessons that have greatly enriched my learning experience.
1) Maintain a challenging attitude
2) Fearless Self-Expression – I have become fearless when it comes to expressing my thoughts, ideas, and opinions. I do not hesitate to share my perspectives and participate in meaningful discussions.
3) Positive and challenging attitude - I have become able to express my opinions.
