Gesture & etiquette

Bow very slightly as you ask permission first — this shows humility; present the idea concisely and clearly; don't over-explain immediately; let them ask follow-up questions to show you respect their pace.

In Japanese meetings, proposing ideas directly can seem presumptuous — framing it first as 'may I suggest?' shows appropriate deference; presenting the idea as a question ('いかがでしょうか?') invites their input rather than pushing a conclusion.
