Bench Strength To Corporations Since 1989. A Registered Japanese Company SInce 2013.  

EDC and Eric Cole are unique. I help people improve their Business English Fluency for global business. I bring my deep global business consulting, executive coaching, senior operating and Business English instruction experience to every member.

Corporate clients include Japanese multinationals, law firms and SME’s in every business sector.

EDC Lessons “Meetings” and Workshops.

I call my Business English lessons “Meetings“. They feel like real world business situations, so students learn faster and put their English to use more effectively.  Workshops teach the global business skills and “jargon” that members can put to use today.

On that note of “real world”, I publish a Weekly EDC Business Dialogue – recent business articles and videos.  EDC clients use these materials on their own and in meetings with me.  Powerful stuff.

After every meeting or workshop, I provide a personalized Learning Note for every member
