Private Communication Coaching

I offer private, one-to-one coaching for experienced Japanese professionals and leaders who already communicate in English daily — in board meetings, design reviews, client calls, and negotiations — and want that communication to carry the full weight of their thinking.

These sessions focus on the subtle aspects of spoken communication that decide how ideas are received: the tone that comes across as confident rather than uncertain, the timing that lets you enter a fast-moving discussion, the phrasing that carries authority instead of just information.

Each session is tailored to your role, your industry, and the specific meetings and moments you’re preparing for.

What Does Executive English Coaching Include?

Coaching is built around your real communication situations, and typically includes areas such as:

  • Holding your position in business meetings, board Q&A, and negotiation, without losing authority in translation
  • Making a technical or strategic case clearly in a design review or client call with international teams
  • Reading and controlling tone — so a tentative phrase doesn’t sound like a commitment, and directness doesn’t come across more strongly than intended
  • Entering fast, interruption-driven meetings at the right moment, instead of losing it while composing the sentence
  • Preparing for the specific presentation, negotiation, or discussion already on your calendar

Sessions work from your real conversations — examining exactly where phrasing, tone, or timing changed how a message landed, and building the instinct to get it right in the moment.

The goal isn’t a better English score. It’s communication that carries the same weight in English as your ideas already carry in Japanese.

Is This Spoken Coaching or Written Editing?

The work we do together focuses specifically on spoken communication — the real-time, high-stakes kind, not written correspondence.

Sessions are designed to help professionals develop clarity, confidence, and nuance when expressing ideas in meetings, discussions, and presentations.

Because the focus is on real-time communication, the work does not involve editing or proofreading written documents such as emails, reports, or correspondence. Instead, sessions concentrate on the language and communication choices that arise naturally in professional conversations.

The goal is not simply to improve English ability, but to refine how ideas are communicated in real-world professional situations.

Session Options

Coaching is available as individual sessions or four- and twelve-session series, depending on your goals and the level of ongoing support you’re looking for.
