...Why do Japanese business men avoid eye contact during business meetings? This is a question that has a simple answer. But there is so much more to the meaning and culture that leads to it. Ever since history shows, the Japanese culture is focused around honor and respect. There are 3 things that are majorly important to know when going to a business meeting with Japanese businessmen. 1. Introduction 2. Business Cards/ Gift exchange 3. Body Language Introduction: Upon the start of a business meeting ( if you are the host ) greet you’re guest(s) with a bow. This is a basic greeting from Japan just as a handshake is in the United States. Then promptly seat them the furthest from the door that you can. Business Cards: Among the Japanese, when businessmen meet each other, business begins with the exchange of business cards (Kumayama, 1991). Business cards are to be given and received with both hands. As well as not being put away right away. Japanese businessmen find it respectful for you to review the card when it is handed to you. Gift Exchange: To receive a gift at a meeting is to be expected. When receiving a gift, stand, bow, and receive the gift with both hands. To remain seated and accept the gift with one hand is considered disrespectful. The Japanese may feel as if you pay no value to the fact that they brought you a gift (Kumayama, 1991). Body Language: There are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to, what may seem normal things, do at a meeting. Small things such...

...upon to lead a meeting with a diverse group of people there are many different things to consider in order to be successful. People with different backgrounds or who hold different positions in the workplace have varied values that one needs to be sensitive to. It is important to know who is being addressed and why so that the meeting runs smoothly and is effective. It can be a difficult balance to present information to a vast group of people. Shareholders and customers will generally want to hear different information. For example, if quarterly sales are good, then the shareholders will be happy. If sales are slowing then shareholders may want prices to be raised to make up for the lack of sales, which will in turn make the customer unhappy. For these reasons the importance to know who your audience is and how to speak to them can make the difference between a successful meeting and an unsuccessful one. Being in a situation in which one is called on to present quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of diverse individuals who all have stake in the company there are many characteristics that need to be considered. One being where does the audience come from. Keep in mind the different cultures in the room and how they will respond to a more direct approach than a less direct approach.

...How to Meet New People Meeting new people is an unavoidable and important process in everyone’s lifetime. The desire to meet new people is triggered by different reasons including general friendship and romance. One could have lost old friends, shifted to a new location or wanted to meet more people during their lifetime. It is through meeting new people that we get new opportunities say in business or daily adventures, explore new ideas getting out of our own cocoons, increase knowledge and gain a better understanding of life in general. Once meeting them, it can be easy turning them into friends. We are then able to form close friendships which when well maintained and nurtured could create strong life bonds for the benefit of the parties involved including romantic relationships. These newly gained friends can point out any potential in us and through encouragement and advice, personal growth can be attained. However, we meet countless people but becoming friends with them is our own choice. The process of meeting new persons can be demanding to some people, but easy on others. It requires the right attitude for a person to get out there and fight any loneliness or rejection from a past relationship. One need to be psychologically prepared to meet new people in whichever way or place that there is. Patience is needed in the process as one can face rejection, some meeting ways aren’t up to the expectation and there is the need to try many ways in order to meet people...
