Mastering Powerpoints, Communication, and Yourself in Japan with Colin Savage
In today's episode, I'm chatting with Colin Savage. Colin is a globally-minded, locally-focused leader with over 20 years' experience with Japan, including eight years in-country. He specializes in business development, communications and marketing, digital development, leadership, research, and strategy. Some topics covered in today's conversation include the proper use and function of powerpoint presentations in a Japanese context, dealing with the phenomenon of not being heard when speaking Japanese as a foreigner, and ways to reconsider and cope with bureaucracy in Japan.
Today's Japanese:
ことわざ
ko-to-wa-za
kanji: 諺
meaning: proverb, a saying
