TOKYO: Lead Like a GIRL (for men and women)...seminar with Dalia Feldheim
# Lead Like a GIRL (for men and women)...seminar with former P&G CMO, Dalia Feldheim
This Thursday, April 9th, 5:30-7pm at Deloitte Consulting in the Nijubashi Bldg in Marunouchi, learn to convert soft skills like purpose, mental perseverance, people and positivity into your competitive edge with the "Lead Like a GIRL" seminar, hosted by TED speaker, [Dalia Feldheim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalia-feldheim-bb9309/).
**Date**: Thursday, April 9th
**Time**: 5:30-7pm JST

In an increasingly uncertain landscape, traditional leadership models rooted in control, strategy, and quarterly targets are less effective. Today’s most resilient companies are tapping into a different kind of leadership, grounded in psychological safety, emotional courage, and human connection. The "Lead Like a GIRL" seminar provides fundamental tools to harness and energize that volatility. Sixty minutes can help you turn emotional intelligence into a strategic weapon that aligns people, vision and culture.
[Dalia Feldheim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dalia-feldheim-bb9309/) is a former CMO at Procter & Gamble and Electrolux, INSEAD-trained organizational psychologist, author of Lead Like a Girl, Adjunct Professor at Singapore Management University and a global keynote speaker (including a TEDx). Over two decades, she helped more than 10,000 C-suite and senior executives acquire the skills to lead with heart. Through powerful storytelling, scientific research and real-world examples, Dalia empowers leaders and organizations to transform fear into flow, and performance pressure into people-powered growth.

Philosophy Group Meeting -- Hebrew
Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful.
Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed.
We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel.
Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough.
Please join our WhatsApp group:

HTML5 Master Series (Class 03 of 04) (SPECIAL OFFERING)
**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:**
1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring.
2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity.
**Introduction:**
HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today.
One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences.
A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites.
Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires.
**The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:**
**Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5**

* **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation.
**Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling**

* **Topics**:
* **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values.
* **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets.
* **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout.
