It’s often said that Japanese people are very considerate of others, but how do you feel when someone is being considerate toward you?
Does it make you happy, or do you feel a sense of distance instead?
This time, we’d like to share some experiences.

Welcome to The Global Professional Podcast. Today, I will be dissecting a crucial distinction for career advancement: the difference between an English Teacher and a Business Communication Coach. Many professionals seek to refine their English, but understanding who to engage is paramount.

Think of it this way: an English Teacher builds your foundation. They are experts in grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, and the mechanics of the language. They are invaluable for mastering the rules, expanding your lexicon, and achieving fluency. They'll focus on reading comprehension, literature analysis, and formal writing. They cover things from basic phonics to Shakespeare. This is essential, particularly if you're strengthening your core English proficiency.

A Business Communication Coach, however, takes that foundation and strategically applies it. I focus on impact. I zero in on how you use English to achieve specific professional objectives. It's about influence, persuasion, clarity, and concision – within the context of your career.

I'm less concerned with the intricacies of a past participle, and more focused on crafting compelling presentations, navigating cross-cultural communication nuances, and delivering impactful emails. I analyze your audience, your goals, and tailor your communication accordingly.

Think boardroom, not classroom. Negotiation, not narration.

In short, one builds the linguistic toolset; the other teaches you to wield those tools effectively in the global business arena. Both are valuable, but for the ambitious professional, strategic communication is the key differentiator. Choose the professional that aligns with your desired outcomes. My method actually combines both. I also add in a career development element as well. I am a language professor, an executive business coach, and a career counselor. 

That's all for this episode. Join us next time on The Global Professional Podcast.
