Human Global Communications was established in 1969 by Francis J. Kurdyla to train and assist executives, managers, and staff in Japan in their efforts to communicate globally. We have been active in this effort for over 45 years.
Our Approach
Effective global communications requires not only good language skills but also an understanding of the differing cultural backgrounds in which languages have developed. Understanding the meaning of words when we communicate with people from other cultures is important, but it is not enough. We must understand how each other's language and customs reflect value differences, overcome the obstacles these reflections present, and broaden our minds to accommodate different ways of thinking and behaving.
With this concept of cross-cultural understanding in mind, we strive to improve communications among different cultures by giving our clients a clearer understanding of the values reflected in our respective languages and their effect on social behavior and business practices.
We provide a variety of services in addition to English training, including lectures, seminars, rewriting, and translation to help your people develop the skills and understanding they need to communicate with global colleagues and clients.
