  CHOICE™ is the framework taking you toward the results you are after –     a strong leadership team, a solid bench team, culture creation/consistency, sales growth, personal fulfillment, etc.

  Consistently - What are the areas that currently lack discipline focus; require attention?

  Honing - What are the opportunities for refinement, enhancement; re-examination?

  Our - Where can you take ‘ownership’ around things you may have previously determined were beyond your control?

  Intentions - Have you set a clear vision; is it big enough? Does it have the iterative steps laid out to achieve it?

  Concerning - Do you have awareness around contributing to others? Creating connection, loyalty? Reaching fulfillment?

  Excellence - How do you define personal best, at this time? What are the metrics? How are you tracking them?

  We work with you and your company, to identify the six aspects of making ‘good’ choices. Good choices being those that align who you are with what you do; that allow you to live an authentic life. And, that cultivates a culture of individuals that are unified and truly engaged around reaching your organizations specific goals and objectives.

  4th Annual Conference
  

  Talent Innovation: Going Beyond Unconscious Bias to Lead Generational Diversity
  

  Thursday, November 2, 2017
  2:00pm Registration
  2:30-6:00pm Program

  In 2014, the Japan America Society of Southern California's Women's Leadership Counts Initiative was created as a first-of-its-kind initiative to provide a platform for women in business on both sides of the Pacific to engage in professional and leadership development.
  

  At a time when companies have workforces which can include up to 5 different generations, how do successful leaders maximize the talents of these very different generations? To lead across generations, leaders must understand what makes each generation unique and how unconscious bias may create blinders. When you add into the mix how technology is changing at such a fast pace, it is more important than ever to facilitate sharing, incorporate new views and foster creativity. Can technology help to facilitate harmony and communications in work environments that include multiple generations and cultural gaps? Join us to learn how effective leaders are innovating with their talent across generations. The program will include a keynote speaker, panel discussion, and interactive table discussions. The networking reception will provide opportunities to connect with speakers and attendees from a broad range of industries.

  
  Who Should Attend

  Current and future corporate, business, academic, non-profit and entrepreneurial women and men leaders who value the U.S-Japan collaboration and wish to expand their networks.

  
  

  Why You Should Attend
  

  • LEARN from global leaders - Understanding the culture of the parent company, management, or client from Japan or overseas is key to having a successful career
  • DISCOVER your potential - Build leadership and management skills and navigate through unique corporate culture in a professional environment
  • INVEST in yourself – Exchange ideas as well as challenges you are facing with peers and mentors, and learn tactics to advance your career
  • BUILD your professional network – Meet a diverse group of women and men representing a wide variety of industries
