Tokyo-based trainer David Wagner has become a household name in the business communication training world in Japan. Over the past 25 years, he has conducted over 4,000 seminars through Japan, Asia, North America and the Middle-East for more than 390 companies and organizations.

Starting his training career as a cross-cultural trainer in Tokyo, David spent almost 3 years at the Fuji Xerox Learning Institute in Tokyo. He then returned to his native Colorado where he facilitated cross-cultural courses for Prudential Relocation Management for 2 years. These initial years of training created a strong foundation for assisting executives and their families to successfully adapt to living and working in multicultural environments.

In 1993, David returned to Japan as a Senior Trainer for Canning, Britain’s oldest and most respected business communication training organization. During 3 years at Canning, he spent 200 days a year training employees from over 75 companies to enhance business communication skills such as negotiation, presentation, meeting management, and professional writing.

With 8 years under his belt, David went solo in 1997 in Tokyo. Since that time, he has trained independently for dozens of companies throughout Asia and North America to prepare staff at all levels to succeed in international business. In addition, he has regularly been engaged to train by the Institute of Public Administration and Management in Singapore, Berlitz Cross-Cultural in New Jersey, The University of Maryland’s Institute of International Business and Management in Tokyo, and Rowland & Associates in San Diego.
