Greetings!
In this issue, to help you bring competitive advantage to your company, we offer articles that look to the future. We continue our series on the Internet of Things so that you can plan for future innovation. We also have an article on how to manage gender diversity in the workplace. With new research on brains, hormones, and the role both play in our behavior at work and home, managers today can be equipped to raise their effectiveness, as well as their team's. And with summer fast approaching, some advice for staying well while on vacation.
Software Consortium has been a thought leader in the Baltimore-Washington area for 19 years, advising our clients, IBM, Microsoft, and other technology leaders. We offer software and technology services that are high value, practical and have helped our clients make their businesses more competitive locally and globally.
All the best, Janet Janet Amirault, President & CEO |

Managing Diversity: Male and Female Brain Differences
 Harvard Business Review reports that 52% of women in technical positions leave their positions--and often the profession--due to what they feel are inhospitable corporate cultures. Differences in male and female brain circuitry, hormones and functioning can often be the core challenge and being conscious of the differences leads to a corporate culture that harnesses these differing strengths. |

As Charles Darwin said "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
 As human beings, our flight or fight response to external threats serves us quite well when our survival is threatened. However, in today's world, our instinctive response to stress and threats can result in decreased abilities to think new thoughts as we automatically prepare to defend ourselves.
Senior IT managers and leaders need their best thinking and fully engaged teams to make their IT departments effective today and in the future. In this seminar, you will learn how you can systematically become more effective at leading today's multigenerational workforce.
Gain practical tools you can use immediately:
- Knowledge about core areas of competency for developing your ideals in leadership, leading to higher job satisfaction and productivity for you and your team;
- Self awareness of how your emotions and energy can impact yourself and others, in both positive and negative ways;
- Techniques to rejuvenate yourself during times of stress;
- Advice, support and practical learning from other attendees, who are facing similar challenges.
Join us for this interactive half day seminar and come away with new energy to inspire yourself and your team.
