Working with Japan
"Having a Japanese-national instructor is vital to understanding the subtleties of Japanese culture. In hindsight, I now understand much of the "mysterious" behaviors of my Japanese counterparts in our two previous negotiation meetings. Thanks - I'm looking forward to using what I learned in the role plays in my next meeting in Tokyo."

Passport to Multicultural Homebuyers
"We had rave reviews on the Passport to Multicultural Homebuyers series, and many people wished it had been longer.

Working with China
"As you know, my business is training trainers and subject-matter-experts how to teach. I found everything “right” with this class. David Wan is extremely knowledgeable about the subject because he has lived it. His use of story to illustrate his points is engaging and informative, a technique that helps the students remember the information. The workbook is packed full of additional information that I get to read on my own time. It is well organized, well written and very easy to read."
