The purpose of this program is to support our young professionals in developing their careers and supporting their personal growth as a member of society by connecting with insightful professionals who are rich in experience and knowledgeable in their industries. SpCCJ YP Mentoring Program will match mentors and mentees to create a useful environment where mentors will provide support to their mentees regularly for 6 months by giving counseling not only on career and work-related matters but also providing other helpful information. Applications for both Mentors and Mentees are open between January 15th and January 28th. This program is held from February 1st until the end of July and it is an activity free of charge. Who can participate? Mentees are normally young individuals seeking to learn\, grow professionally or personally\, and gain valuable skills and knowledge under the guidance of their mentor.You can participate as a mentee if you are a young professional in your late 20s or early 30s. Anyone fitting in this age range could apply to be part of the program however\, SpCCJ individual members and young employees of corporate members will be prioritized. Mentors are typically individuals who have more experience\, skills\, or expertise in a particular field or area of life and are willing to share their insights and wisdom to help others grow and develop.We will accept applications from individuals or corporate members’ professionals who wish to volunteer. We will also consider non-members’ candidacies from experienced professionals with a close relationship with the SpCCJ and a strong commitment to the mentoring process.

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:Women in business leadership roles: Lessons learnt
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on 8 March to recognise the social\, economic\, cultural\, and political achievements of women – while also marking a call to action for accelerating gender equality. \nAccording to UN Women\, 20 per cent more women in Asia-Pacific hold managerial positions today than two decades ago. Parity\, however\, has not been achieved in the bulk of countries across the region. Disturbingly\, women’s representation in middle and senior management jobs is even lower with only 17 % of senior and middle management jobs in the region occupied by women. \nTo raise awareness of the importance of gender equality and to discover the lessons learnt by those who have been able to break the gender gap\, the network of Official Spanish Chambers of Commerce in the Asia Pacific region is hosting a panel discussion inviting international female leaders from different industries and different cultural backgrounds. \nJoin us on March 23 for an evening of discussion\, reflection and discourse with a panel of successful women business leaders. You will hear about their journeys\, mindset and collective experiences across different sectors and countries. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate: Wednesday\, 23 March 2022\nPlace: Zoom Online Webinar\nTime: 17:00 – 18:30 JST\nLanguage: English\nRegistration Deadline: Wednesday\, 23 March 2022\, 12:00pm JST\nEvent Registration: WomenInBusinessLeadershipRolesLessonsLearnt  \nAre you not a member of the SpCCJ yet? Find out more about the membership category and benefits on our website and contact us at info@spanishchamber.or.jp.

SUMMARY:SpCCJ Young Professional Mentoring Program
DESCRIPTION:As organizations have grown more complex\, employees often need to take a more meandering path instead of a straight line to the top. Lateral moves to different departments or divisions can broaden employees’ experience to prepare them for a larger role but also create doubts and insecurities. \nMentoring is a process\, both voluntary and based on trust\, by means of which a person with experience and the will to share it in an unselfish way\, tries to help another to achieve his or her goals and cultivate his or her skills through a series of conversations of a personal kind\, confidential and limited in time\, as well as with other learning activities. \nThe SpCCJ would like to bring the experience and industry knowledge of its business network by creating the SpCCJ Young Professional Mentoring Program to support our young professionals to develop their careers and support their personal growth as a member of society.  \nThe SpCCJ YP Mentoring Program will match mentors & mentees and\, during 6 months\, aim to create the perfect environment where mentors will provide support to their mentees regularly\, giving counseling on career and work-related matters but also providing other advice and useful information. \nApplication for becoming a Mentor and Mentee will be open until January 31. You can participate as a mentee if you are a young professional member or a young employee of an individual\, or a corporate member of our association. Mentors can be individual members or corporate members who wish to volunteer. \nIf you would like to be part of this program send us an email to info@spanishchamber.or.jp.  This program is free of charge.
