Jef Menguin

Inspire and equip innovative leaders

Leadership Training in the Philippines

Leadership training in the Philippines is world class. Our trainers are experts who have excellent facilitation skills. Our leadership training programs are fun, intensive, relevant, and engaging. And you can find the best training providers in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu.

My name is Jef Menguin. I am the President of Business Innovation Talent Development. We develop innovative leaders through creative learning experiences. We turn business managers into business innovators.

To do better than the biggest training providers in the Philippines, my company design for our clients experiences that 10x results. The learning experiences we designed help leaders engage people, delight customers, and speed up organizational growth.

My name is Jef Menguin. I help organizations like Meralco, SMC, IMI, World Vision, World Bank equip employees, build teams, and develop leaders – and make people business innovators.

I have trained thousands of leaders in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan.

If you want to turn less committed employees into highly engaged and accountable leaders- and help your leaders to walk the talk, think out of the box, innovate, build your people, and make change happen, I can help you.

The leadership training programs that I offer are for leaders who seek to make positive change happen in their companies and communities.

Leadership training that really works make it easy for leaders to develop winning habits and disciplines. Leadership training must help individual leaders grow. Leadership training must 10x the impact of leadership.

Leadership training is more effective when combined with other learning experiences like coaching, on the job training, team plays, shadowing, and others.

Leadership training can be fun
Train leaders to achieve optimum results.

Leadership Training Programs

I have designed hundreds of leadership training programs since 2007. The following are some of the leadership training programs that I offer in the Philippines.

I can run these programs for you and I can also train your trainers. You can also use these to support your leadership development program.

Active Training for Managers

You know that people learn best by doing.

And most leadership training programs conducted by managers do not work because they usually resort to data dumping. The usual excuse is that managers are not “trainers” and therefore have no other choice but to leave training to HR, the training department, or God-sent trainers from outside.

Let’s say goodbye to excuses. Enabling your people is a competence that every manager must master. One of the more effective ways of enabling people is by classroom training.

But not just any kind of classroom training. You can make your learning faster and better by making your classroom training important.

Active Training for Managers aims to equip leaders a solid foundation on principles and practices for active training so they can engage their people in learning.

This is a hands-on workshop. Participants will learn, try, and apply dozens of active training activities and frameworks. They will also learn how to make their training programs scalable and repeatable.

Training does not have to be painful. Attendees will get deliberate practice in rapid instructional design and excellent facilitation in one day.

Change Management Workshops for Leaders

Change Management Workshop is designed for managers and supervisors who are charged with introducing departmental or organizational changes to their employees.

Introducing change isn’t easy. People have to go through a process. Managers need more than their ability to motivate people to initiate, lead, and sustain change.

This one day leadership workshop will show managers how to help employees confront change in the organization. Participants will leave the workshop with confidence that they’ll be able to come up with positive change for the organization.

Customer Service Excellence Workshops

Customer Service Excellence is a workshop that aims to encourage and equip participants to serve customers with excellence. 

Happy customers make the business grow. Leaders must be able to equip employees so they can build better relationships with customers. They must make their customers fall in love with them.

In these customer service workshop, leaders will explore different tools they can use to inspire, train, and enable employees to become customer service excellence champions.

Employees will be able to serve any kind of customers anytime, every day. I designed this customer service training for Filipino companies.

Executive Team Leadership

Teams fail to achieve highest potentials when leaders do not know how to work with other leaders.

Most executives are members of several teams that are made of peers who have different functions in the organizations.

They belong to senior management teams, commercial teams, marketing teams, research teams, product teams, project teams or ad hoc teams formed around specific and immediate initiatives.

Cross-functional teams are typically charged with developing and driving the implementation of the organization’s strategic directions. This leadership training is a must for team-based organizations.

Effective Coaching for Managers

Effective Coaching for Managers aims to equip participants on how to confront difficult situations with confidence, encourage a coaching culture, reinforce positive behaviors, correct harmful behaviors, and coach employees for personal and professional growth.

Many employees leave companies because of their managers (or the ability of the managers to help them grow). Managers must understand that equipping people is their primary job and they can do it outside of training rooms. They can equip people everyday on the job.

Effective coaching for managers is a hands-on leadership workshop. Participants will acquire knowledge before the training session. This ensures that the workshop will be devoted on learning effective ways to coach employees.

Typical coaching skills training take 3 to 5 days. We make it into one. It is comprehensive, intensive, and engaging.

Managing Diversity in the Workplace

Each of us comes into the world of work with features and ways of behaving that are the products of our cultural differences. Cultural uniqueness is viewed by some as important and valuable in the workplace. 

Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity is the challenge for employees in the future workplace.

The ability to interact and communicate effectively across cultures is emerging as the number-one interpersonal skill of our time.

Toward this end, this leadership workshop is designed as an introductory experience in building effective interaction and communication in diverse groups.

Managing Effective Meetings

Managing Effective Meetings (workshop) aims to provide managers techniques and tools to plan, organize, and conduct effective meetings.   

Most people groan at the thought of attending another meeting!

Why?

Because meetings are often mismanaged—they get off track, are interrupted, take too much time, have unclear agendas, and lack effective leadership.

While most of us spend a great deal of time preparing for the work we do, we spend almost no time learning how to attend or conduct all of the meetings that accompany the process of getting our work done.

In this one-day leadership training program, participants will learn how to plan, organize, and conduct productive meetings, including steps for preparation of a meeting, developing an agenda, encouraging participation, handling counterproductive behaviors, and planning action for follow-up.

Public Speaking for Leaders

It is relatively easy to describe a leader. It is changing the world, the ultimate aim of a leader, that is challenging. Public Speaking for Leaders will address that challenge.

The workshop doesn’t just tell you what to do, it shows you why you have to do it and it will equip you to speak to change lives – to make a better world.

When you join this leadership workshop, you will pick up lessons from the experiences of the speakers, from group exercises, and extensive and incisive masterclass sessions. I made shorter list of a few of the great benefits you can get from the Public Speaking workshop for change leaders:

Secrets of Effective Delegation

Managers often ask, Why don’t my direct reports do what they are supposed to do?

Unfortunately, many answer, they just aren’t cut out for the job. I’ll have to do it myself.

Yet, rather than blaming others there may be something faulty with the process of delegating the assignments.

In delegations that have gone wrong, the delegator usually has omitted one or two critical steps. Clear guidelines on how to delegate effectively can increase the success of delegation and build confidence for both managers and direct reports.

Secrets of Effective Delegation is a leadership training workshop intended for first-line supervisors and managers who have had experiences delegating assignments or responsibilities to their direct reports.

It teaches eight steps that enable supervisors and managers to delegate effectively. Program participants also assess their attitudes and current practices as delegators and, through experiential activities, explore how to communicate effectively.

Stress Management Mastery

Stress is a universal and naturally occurring phenomenon in humans.

Recent epidemiological research indicates marked increases in stress-related diseases as a result of life styles saturated with excessive stress and chronic tension. Burnout, heart attacks, ulcers, decreased productivity, relational problems, depression, loneliness, and cynicism are frequent symptoms of chronic stress that adversely affect us personally, professionally, and physically.

While stress cannot be eliminated, we can learn to deal with it effectively to maximize our potential.

Learn how to master stress for peak performance — and build a happy and productive workplace. Re-imagine your workplace. Make it a place where people can smile and have fun.

Time Management Workshop

The time in any given day is one of the few things that is given to us equally.

Yet it feels totally different when we are using time in a way we choose for ourselves than it feels when our time seems to loom out of our control.

We must ask the larger question of what is valuable in our lives, integrating personal and professional goals. Without a strong desire to live out certain values, time management goes unused. A strong motivation to use one’s time to accomplish what one truly wants is necessary to bring about behavioral changes.

This program is for leaders and anyone who wants more out of life, at work and at home.

Time Management for Busy Professionals (workshop) offers powerful mindsets about time and performance and provide tools and techniques so you can become more productive in the workplace.

Leadership Training in the Philippines

Though we have the best leadership training providers in the world, not not all companies can afford them. And of course, not all training providers are equal. Many leadership training programs fail because of reasons that you can avoid and prevent.

I do not meant that you really need to hire consultants from outside to establish an excellent leadership development program. There are many excellent corporate trainers who are organic to the organization.

In fact, I have learned so much from them. That’s because when it comes to what’s happening inside the organization, they know more than any consultant. What we can only do is to guide them and provide them the tools they don’t currently have. But overall, we have many world class corporate trainers.

When we collaborate, there is a bigger chance to succeed.

That is because the outcome of leadership training can be predictable, repeatable, and sustainable when conducted as a component of leadership development.

You can 10x the impact of your leadership training.

You can use leadership training as a multiplier.

Unfortunately, most leadership training fail our expectations. I will tell you why.

Why Leadership Training Fails

Some experts say that classroom training contributes 10% or less to what leaders ought to learn to become effective and that 90% or more comes from real-world leadership experiences.

I don’t think these figures are accurate, but the message to those who rely only in classroom training is clear: training alone does not build effective leaders. (Yes, I said that leadership training in the Philippines is world class, but we cannot rely on training alone.)

Many organizations still rely on “leadership training” as the only solution to their leadership problems. This is because they are not familiar with other and better options.

About that 90% Real -World Learning.

Even if it is true that 90 percent of learning happens in the real world, let me remind you that the 90 percent can be a mixed-bag of good and bad.

Leaders need deliberate learning and many of our experiences aren’t necessarily positive, correct, and empowering.

Another thing: training is also a real-world experience. Training organizations who separated training from real-world experiences must have been living in unreal world.

More importantly, leadership training, when done correctly, can be designed as learning experiences that may provide deliberate practice of new skills and behaviors.

Again, I believe training can be a multiplier. Just make sure you multiply something positive and great.

Why corporate trainers stick to leadership training?

Because the problem of relying only with leadership training isn’t obvious to many corporate trainers. There are dozens of interventions, but they insist on classroom training because they are trainers.

Even the most interactive, entertaining, experiential, and fun-filled leadership training program will fail to develop leaders when training isn’t the answer.

The good news is that we are making progress. In some parts of the globe, designers are now disrupting the training industry and are embracing learning experience design.

Learning Experience Design

The focus shifted to what the learners get, not just on what the trainers do.

But learning experience designers like us are still the minority in the Philippines.

The goal of many trainers are still in effective delivery of instruction. Ours is business innovation.

Training for Business Innovation

The problem is not training. The wicked problem is that in many organizations, those who are tasked to develop leaders do not fully understand why they develop leaders.

And when there is lack in understanding, there is no commitment.

Develop leaders so you can add, create, and multiply the value of products and services you provide to your customers.

Develop leaders so you make a difference in the lives of those who work with you and the world you serve. Leadership development and leadership training are done to make business innovation.

Plain and simple, but powerful.

Training That Really Works

Instructions don’t make effective leaders. Leaders must experience leadership to become effective leaders.

Help leaders learn the necessary skills, attitudes, and behaviors they need in order for them to get the job done.

This is a revolutionary change in mindset.

Instead of traditional “leadership training”, you will start thinking of the whole spectrum of learning experiences, of enablement, of equipping, of inspiring, of transforming the lives of leaders.

The leadership learning experiences we designed at Business Innovation make leaders develop qualities of effective and transformational leadership.

The leadership courses and seminars of Business Innovation provide numerous opportunities for you to be better leaders.

Leaders will learn significant skills in team building, strategic planning, decision making, coaching, delegation, communication, presentation, and more.

All of these leadership courses and seminars equip them with skills proven to work in “real world” environment.
