SUMMARY:Running for My Life: One Lost Boy's Journey from the Killing Fields of Sudan to the Olympic Games
DESCRIPTION:第二次スーダン内戦の戦中、多くの少年が兵士たちに拉致され、地獄のような収容所に監禁された。ロペス・ロモングも拉致された少年の一人であった。だが、彼は絶望的な状況にあっても希望を失わず、人事を尽くして天命を待った。彼は謎の三人の少年の助けを得て収容所を脱出し、矢のように走った。その前途に彼を待っていたのは、アメリカとオリンピックと偉大な使命であった･･････愛と勇気と希望と感動の実話の初邦訳‼ \n株式会社DELTA COMMERCE JAPANの事業の一つとして新しく誕生した出版社『プリズムBOOKS』が、この度、第3刊として、『いのちをかけた疾走（原題:Running for my life)』を発表いたします。\nスーダン内戦の戦中難民キャンプで10年以上も苦汁をなめたのち、NIKEのスポンサー選手としてオリンピックに出場したロペス•ロモングの波乱万丈の自伝です。 \n2月20日（月）19:00に、本書の発表会を行います。またこの機会にプリズムBOOKSがこれまでに出版した書籍もご紹介したいと思います。\n当日は、プリズムBOOKS創設者、編集長、そして『いのちをかけた疾走』の訳者が登壇いたします。\n皆様のご来場をお待ちしております。 \n  \nRunning for My Life is not a story about Africa or track-and-field athletics. It is about outrunning the devil and achieving the impossible; it is about faith\, diligence\, and the desire to give back. It is the American dream come true and a stark reminder that saving one can help save thousands more. \nPrisma Books\, a young editorial group owned by our corporate member Delta Commerce Japan is making their public presentation coinciding with the launching of their 3rd book\, a fascinating story about Lopez Lomong. From his survival in a prison refugee camp during the Sudanese Civil War to being a Nike-sponsored athlete on the U.S. Olympic Team. \nJoin us on Monday\, February 20 from 19h to discover this\, and other stories published by Prisma Books in a panel with its founder\, the chief editor\, and a Japanese translator followed by a networking time with delicious flavours of Spain through a featuring collaboration between Oui Wine\, paella el Paeller and other surprises. \n  \n新進気鋭の出版社 プリズムBOOKS 最新刊（第3刊）\n『いのちをかけた疾走』発表会\n日時:2月20日（月）\n開会:19:00\n閉会:21:00\n場所:Consentino City Tokyo\, 青山\n内容:ご来場のお客様とオンライン上のお客様との質疑応答という形になります。\n料金:無料 \nEvent Details \nDate: 20 February 2023\nTime: From 19:00h – 21:00h\nPlace: Cosentino City Tokyo Showroom (Please click here to see the location)\nPrice: Free (Registration Needed)\nLanguage: Spanish / Japanese\nRegistration: Find the form at the bottom of this page.\nRegistration & Cancellation Deadline: 17 February 2023\, 15h \n  \nPrevious Books\nあなたによいことが起こるために\nHow to make good things happen\nマリアン・ロハス\nMarián Rojas \n \nよいことには計画が必要\n著者は、医学と心理学の最新の研究、ならびに人間についての鋭い観察の成果に基づき、より幸せな人生を築くため参考になる種々の考察を教える。たとえば、脳の様々な分野を知り活性化させること、人生の目標を立てること、意志を鍛えること、心の知能指数を伸ばすこと、適切な自己主張、過度な自己批判と要求を避けること、楽観的な見方の重要性を再認識すること、など。 \n著者について。\nマリアン・ロハス博士は、ナバラ大学の医学部を卒業。マドリードのスペイン精神医学研究所に勤務。主な仕事として、不安症、うつ病、人格障害、行動障害の患者の治療と家族療法である。メキシコのIPADE大学の客員教授も勤めている。スペイン以外の地域での様々なプロジェクトやボランティア活動にも参加している。\n２００７年からはスペインと海外で、ストレスと幸せ、教育、ソーシャルネットワークと画像、またうつ病と身体的病気などを扱う講演を行っている。\n２０１８年にはビジネスの世界での感情とモチベーションと幸福に関するプロジェクト（ILUSSIO）を立ち上げた。 \nAn empowering journey through the mechanisms of the mind from one of the world’s leading mental health experts. \nFor those in pursuit of a better life\, psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé presents the essential guide to neuroscience-driven mindfulness. Understanding your brain\, managing your emotions\, and being aware of your responses to stressors can give you greater self-control. Rather than a gimmicky guidebook\, this is a thorough look at how our brains react to stress\, threats\, hyperstimulation\, and the vices of our digital age. With proven techniques backed by solid\, up-to-date psychiatric research\, Estapé teaches us how to make the best of our lives. \nCombining science\, psychology\, and philosophy\, Estapé delivers practical advice about how we can cultivate a happy existence. This includes understanding the parts of the brain\, setting healthy goals and objectives\, strengthening willpower\, cultivating emotional intelligence\, developing assertiveness\, avoiding excessive self-criticism and self-demand\, and mastering the proven art of optimism. \n  \nビジネスの現場\nThe business world\n大江正彦\nOe Masahiko \n \n著者は20年に及ぶアメリカでのビジネス体験を持つ。アメリカのビジネス界、特にホワイトカラーの間ではMBAを取得しているか否かが大きな鍵を握っている。MBAを取得していないと出世どころか、就職すら出来ないケースが多々ある。それ程迄に尊重されているMBAであるが、著者は疑問を抱く。それは、頭でっかちになって、ビジネスの現場で通用しないMBA取得者を多く見てきたからだ。物を売るとは、お客様本位とはどういう事かを、著者の体験を通じて語っている。 \n著者について。\n1946 年（昭和21 年）12 月３日生、1970 年同志社大学経済学部卒業、1970 年松下電器（パナソニック）貿易入社、1984 年アメリカ松下電器（在、ニュージャージー州）出向、1987 年ナショナルホームアプライアンス社（ロスアンジェルス）設立経営責任者、1994 年ハワイ松下電器（ホノルル）総支配人、2002 年５ 月久光アメリカ（ロスアンジェルス）出向副社長、2008 年４ 月同志社女子大学英文学科嘱託講師中小企業基盤整備機構国際化支援アドバイザー、現在：京都・大阪日米協会会員、ハワイ滞在時：ハワイ日本クラブ会長、ホノルルシンフォニー合唱団理事長。 \nThe author has 20 years of business experience in the United States\, where the key to success in business\, especially among white-collar workers\, is having an MBA. There are many cases where one cannot even get a job without one\, so much so that the author has doubts about the MBA degree. He has seen many MBA graduates who are egg-headed\, as it were\, to the point of not being able to succeed. Through his own experience\, the author explains what it means to sell something and what it means to be customer-oriented. \nOe Masahiko was born on December 3\, 1946\, he graduated from Doshisha University in 1970 with a degree in economics\, and joined Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) in 1970.

SUMMARY:IE University Masterclass: Megatrends in 2030 and how to Lead companies there
DESCRIPTION:On February 24 our Corporate member IE University organizes in collaboration with the Spanish Chambers of Commerce network in Asia\, the Online Masterclass ‘Megatrends in 2030 and how to Lead companies there‘ by IE Professor Carmen Morales. In today’s competitive\, complex\, fast-paced global economy\, uncertainty and change are relentless challenges for today’s leaders. Massive global forces will reshape your business for the year 2030: formidable competition\, environmental pressures\, talent wars\, threat of lasting pandemics\, AI and technological leaps will divide the short-term thinkers from the prudent few looking for long-range opportunities. How can leaders make the right strategic decisions and leadership choices? The directions we go and choices we make will have enormous impacts on our lives\, careers\, businesses\, and the world. To lead in a VUCA world\, leaders need to hone their contextual intelligence and understand the megatrends\, and macro and micro level forces influencing their organization’s success. Organizations ranging from Fortune 500 firms to small entrepreneurial start-ups find that they need to change in order to succeed and survive. Change processes are a natural part of evolution. However\, the changes organizations face today and expect in the future\, present significant challenges. Companies are composed of people working together to reach goals they couldn’t reach alone. The purpose of this masterclass is to enable participants to improve their awareness and knowledge of issues that will impact their leadership and businesses looking ahead to 2030\, to be able to embark on paths of personal leadership development.

SUMMARY:Politics In The Digital Age: A Change Of The Political Paradigm?
DESCRIPTION:The various scandals engulfing social media companies like Facebook and Twitter are only the tip of the digital iceberg towards which governments\, societies and geopolitics generally are headed. Digital technology is permeating every part of how we are governed – and affecting whom we choose to do the governing.  At the same time\, perhaps less visibly\, it is affecting authoritarian societies. On December 8 our Corporate member IE University organizes in collaboration with the Spanish Chambers of Commerce network in Asia\, the online Master Class ‘Politics in the Digital Age:  A Change of the Political Paradigm?‘ by IE Professor Milo Jones.In this session\, we’ll explore how digital technology has become what philosophers call a “formal cause”\, i.e. something that does not merely have effects\, but that is actually structuring and shaping political and social choices. In so doing\, we will spot clues of how we can expect the future of digital societies to evolve. We look forward to meeting you on-line soon! Event DetailsDate: Tuesday\, 8 December 2020Place: Zoom Online WebinarTime: 17:00 – 18:00 JSTLanguage: EnglishRegistration: EVENT REGISTRATIONRegistration Deadline: Tuesday\, 8 December 2020\, 12:00pmOnly for SpCCJ MembersThis is a SpCCJ Members Only Event.Are you not a Member yet? Find out more about the membership category and benefits on our website and  contact us at info@spanishchamber.or.jp. Membership available from JPY10\,000/year.Dr. Jones’s knowledge of cultural transformation started with his own transformation during training as an officer in the US Marine Corps.  He then refined that knowledge working on Wall Street and in Change Management for Accenture in London.  But the roots of what is uniquely valuable about Milo’s approach to social change has two other sources. \n\nThe first distinctive element flows from his research as a Fellow at the Center for the Study of Digital Life.  Digital technologies are treated as social and psychological phenomena\, not merely as technical changes.  \n\nThe second special component in Milo’s approach draws on his PhD research on the internal analytic culture of the CIA (that was subsequently published by Stanford University Press as Constructing Cassandra:  Reframing Intelligence Failure at the CIA\, 1947-2001).  \n\nThis unique combination of factors and experiences allows Milo to introduce frameworks\, anecdotes\, and insights into his sessions that are truly practical\, fresh\, and memorable.  \n\nBalancing what is technically possible with what is practical for companies and governments today\, he pays special attention to the implications of digital technologies for the skill sets of individual leaders and for the capabilities that organizations need now and in the future.

SUMMARY:20/20 Vision and the Art of Seeing
DESCRIPTION:Dear SpCCJ Members & Friends\, \nOn 19 August our Corporate member IE University organizes in collaboration with the Spanish Chambers of Commerce network in Asia\, an online seminar inviting Sandra Comas\, MBA teaches at IE Business School and Brown University. \nA few of the most influential business visionaries of our time have created unique\, driving images of what a company can imagine and implement to create maximum impact. Some to consider include Jeff Bezos at Amazon\, Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post\, Travis Kalanick and Dara Khosrowshahi at Uber\, the leadership at Samsung and a young startup\, Digital Energy. As organizations grow from start-up to global change-makers\, their vision of themselves and the world shows continuous adaptation and innovation. What can we learn from them and their challenges that can be integrated into our own unique leadership practice? How are these companies\, and others\, re-imagining their vision for a short and long-term future? What is transformed\, and in what ways\, by a global health crisis of Covid-19’s scale and reach? \nIn this session\, we focus on the essential leadership practice of developing and communicating a vision for an organization. We compare the vision of great artists to those of change-making business leaders who inspire us to view the world in new ways and to bring these views to life. We consider how these visionaries show the pathways and processes for becoming creative and innovative leaders who will shape change in the 21st century\, especially now as we seek to tame or solve the global pandemic and its consequences for business\, local and global trade. \nEvent Details \nDate: Wednesday\, 19 August 2020\nPlace: Zoom Online Webinar\nTime: 19:00 – 20:30 JST\nLanguage: English\nRegistration: https://www.cognitoforms.com/\nRegistration Deadline: Wednesday\, 19 August\, 12:00pm \nOnly for SpCCJ Members \nThis is a SpCCJ Members Only Event.\nAre you not a Member yet? Find out more about the membership category and benefits on our website and  contact us at info@spanishchamber.or.jp.

SUMMARY:Security Threats in this New World
DESCRIPTION:2020 will be remembered as the biggest remote working experiment in the history of mankind.

SUMMARY:After the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:What will the world look like after the pandemic? The question\, increasingly\, is no longer whether we will return to normal after the pandemic\, but whether we really want to return to normal. Labor\, the environment\, the economy\, education and healthcare are just five examples of things that should change after this crisis. Are we really sure that we want to go ‘back to normal’ after the pandemic? Did we like that ‘normality’ so much? And since we have managed to make a clean break with it… why not take advantage and move on to something better? \nOn 22 April our Corporate member Ie University organises in colaboration with the Spanish Chambers of Commerce network in Asia\, an online seminar inviting Enrique Dans\, Professor of Innovation at IE University. \nProfessor Enrique Dans has a Bachelor in Science from Universidade de Santiago de Compostela\, an MBA from Instituto de Empresa and a Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from UCLA.
