Melanie Brock is an expert in international business relations in Japan. Having lived there for thirty years, she is also a torch bearer for women's rights in a country where women's business success and women's rights are not high on the cultural agenda.
But things are changing thanks in no small part to fabulous women like Melanie. Have a listen to how an Australian steak and wine night in the middle of Tokyo, played a big part in developing a friendship which, in turn, helped develop a trade agreement.
She has some great advice on what it takes to get ahead in an atmosphere and culture that's not, at first glance, conducive to that.
