Join us on
Tuesday, July 14th in Deerfield Beach for the exciting kickoff event of
the WITI Mentoring Program as WITI brings together some of South
Florida's top IT Leaders to discuss how to Transform Enterprises and
Societies to Empower Tomorrow's Leaders.
Women have the innate ability to nurture communication and
cooperation, acting as leaders through the difficulties of gaining
consensus and helping people do what they need to do better. From a
talent management perspective, this leadership trait empowers women to
maintain a more strategic focus for the good of the company. Since it
is rare
that anyone is born a leader, it is important to realize leadership
must also be
learned through deliberate actions of current leaders to empower our
future
leaders. As most experts agree, leadership skills are developed through
the
practice of mentoring.
The WITI Mentoring Program has been developed to provide women with a tangible
benefit to receive mentoring or coaching from the WITI GEN program and the
regional networks worldwide.
Don’t miss out. Join us at JM Family
Enterprises on July 14th!

Plants
would make great pets if they just did more stuff. Hey, they can grow,
they can make oxygen, they can die... but that's pretty much it. Nobody
names a plant. You can't really hug a plant. However, luckily for you
Sega of Japan has re-envisioned the lowly plant as a cute robotic
companion. Using futuristic muscle wires for movement, the Sega Pekoppa
Robot Plant looks surprisingly lifelike but never needs watering or
sunlight... what it craves is your attention. Talk to your Pekoppa
plant and it responds to your voice by bending and moving in a very
lifelike manner (if real plants could move, which they mostly don't).
Ignore it and it gets pretty sad. The more you talk, the happier it
is... making it the ideal companion for your wife or girlfriend.
Based on the research by Dr. Tomio Watanabe the Pekoppa
incorporates "Unazuki riron" (nodding theory.) According to Dr
Watanabe, nonverbal communication including nodding and face expression
is crucial to human communication. Because of this, the Pekoppa has
several ways of nodding and changes the ways it responds depending on
your voice tone. The more you talk to Pekoppa the more it seems to
understand what you say. It's a very good listener.
