Description

Diamond Dynamic" is a training program that enables women professionals working with men to become more valued, effective and authentic. The program was developed by Mike Johnson, corporate trainer, consultant, speaker and author based in Silicon Valley. Mike created the program in response to requests by women clients who were frustrated by: feeling excluded from teams comprised mostly of men, ineffective communication, and not being taken seriously. Mike's extensive background in sales, marketing and human behavior combine to offer women potent insight into working with men, and guidance on the application of effective, new attitudes and behaviors. Mike offers seminars and personal consulting, and women are invited to become part of a network of women practicing the Diamond Dynamic" approach.

Event Name TiE ECONOMICS FORUM: Edward Luce, author of 'In Spite of the Gods: The Rise of Modern India'
Date Friday March 2, 2007
Time 6:00PM to 9:00PM
City Santa Clara
Event Type Speaker / Panel / Round Table
Event Area International Trade / Global Issues
Hosted By TIE - The Indus Entrepreneurs
Description Edward Luce is the Washington Commentator for London's Financial
Times, writing on the U.S. economy, politics and foreign affairs.
He was formerly South Asia Bureau Chief based in Delhi. He has
previously been a speechwriter to Larry Summers, Treasury
secretary in the Clinton administration. Luce earned a degree in
politics, philosophy and economics at the University of Oxford;
he earned a postgraduate degree in newspaper journalism at City
University in London.

In In Spite of the Gods, Luce, who covered India for many years,
makes brilliant sense of India and its rise to global power.
Already a bestseller in India, his book is sure to be
acknowledged for years as a definitive introduction to modern
India. India remains a mystery to many, including most Indians,
even as it is poised to become the world's third largest economy
within a generation, outstripping Japan. It will surpass China in
population by 2032 and will have more English speakers than the
United States by 2050. In Spite of the Gods is an enlightening
study of the forces shaping India as it tries to balance the
traditions of the past with an unevenly modernizing present.
Deeply informed by scholarship and history, leavened by humor and
rich in anecdote, it shows that India has huge opportunities as
well as tremendous challenges that make the future "hers to lose."

Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the meeting.
However, it may be even more interesting to read the book before
hand. The book has just been released in the United States and
can be purchased on Amazon.
