Steam Up: Preparations in Public Speaking

New Normal or New Nation: You Choose
Leaders who have limited imaginations limit us all. Take our government leaders, for example. They said that the GCQ is the new normal. Then after some days, they changed it to MGCQ. I said before that being quarantined is not normal. They don’t have long
False Beliefs (and How to Fix Them)
False beliefs can sabotage our growth by creating misconceptions that hold us back. When we believe in something that isn’t true, we stop looking for real solutions and rely on ineffective ones. This keeps us stuck in the same place, unable to move forward. Today,
Working with Others
Filipinos want the typical game-oriented team building programs because they are afraid to hold courageous conversations. As a team leader, you can handle conflict by showing people how to communicate and collaborate.

Everything is figurable.
Everything is figurable. You can start before you are ready. I don’t debate with people who say that they are waiting for the right time. Waiting must have worked for them. Waiting for the right time does not work for me. This is why I

Kobe Bryant played his best, every time. It does not matter whether he was number 1 or number 2 on the team. He gives his best every time. And though I was not a fan, I surely know who he was and what he did.
Start before you are ready.
The best step to write a book is not trying to write but to write. Daily. In the number of hours you want. Until you get done.
