Finding Her Voice
Sheryl Hermosa-Ebron was not born with a microphone in her hand or a stage waiting for her. She began as a shy girl with limiting beliefs—hesitant to speak up, often doubting whether her words mattered.
But as her faith deepened, so did her courage. Slowly, she began to step out of her comfort zone, one brave moment at a time. What started as small steps—teaching, training, trying—became a lifelong journey of finding and owning her voice.
Her early years saw her wear many hats: telemarketer, English trainer, teacher, and coordinator. Each role taught her the same lesson—that communication was not just about words, but about connection.
And with every new role, the shy girl discovered that her voice had power—the power to inform, inspire, and influence.
Shaping Narratives on Air and On Stage
That discovery led Sheryl to the world of broadcasting. As a radio host, TV anchor, and executive producer, she learned how to shape stories that could move audiences. She didn’t just report news; she crafted narratives that made people feel and think.
At Light TV, she produced and anchored programs that reached homes across the Philippines. One of her proudest achievements was Musmos Tuklas, a children’s radio program that won back-to-back KBP Golden Dove Awards for Best Children’s Program.
Later, she conceptualized and launched NewsLight, a news program that continues to air today—a legacy of clarity and hope that outlived her tenure.
Broadcasting sharpened her voice, but it also deepened her mission: to use communication not only to inform but to transform.
From Broadcaster to Educator and Leader
After years in media, Sheryl brought her experience into education. At Malayan Colleges Laguna, she taught Multimedia Arts and Communication, mentoring students to tell stories with courage and creativity. Her classroom became a space where shy voices could find strength—because she knew what it felt like to be in their place.
But her biggest leadership test came at the UPLB Learning Resource Center (LRC). For a decade, she poured her heart into building programs that nurtured students’ academic and personal growth. Then the pandemic hit. Overnight, learning had to shift online.
Instead of retreating, Sheryl reinvented. With her team, she transformed LRC into a digital hub—launching over 70 webinars with more than 300,000 registrants and growing its Facebook page from 2,000 followers to 118,000. At a time of uncertainty, she gave students clarity and community. She turned crisis into opportunity.
Her leadership in this period became proof that resilience is not about speed but direction; not about perfection but progress.
From Local to Global Stage
Sheryl’s journey did not stop in Los Baños.
Her expertise opened doors in international development, first as a Communications Project Coordinator at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and now as a Communications Consultant at the Multilateral Cooperation Center for Development Finance (MCDF) in Beijing.
Today, she helps advance cross-border infrastructure investments by crafting communication strategies that connect people, policies, and partnerships. But more than strategies and policies, she still carries the same mission: to make sure people feel seen, heard, and empowered.
From shy provincial girl to award-winning broadcaster, from digital pioneer in higher education to global strategist—Sheryl’s story is more than a résumé. It is the foundation of her voice. A voice that proves anyone can rise, reinvent, and keep going.
Three Messages Leaders Need to Hear
When Sheryl Hermosa-Ebron speaks, she doesn’t just share lessons—she shares lived experiences. Her journey has equipped her with messages leaders and professionals need now more than ever.
Find and Own Your Voice
Sheryl’s first message is deeply personal: your voice matters.
She knows what it’s like to grow up shy, unsure, and hesitant. But she also knows the power of stepping out of silence. From her early work in call centers and classrooms to her years as a broadcaster and educator, she learned that communication is leadership.
Her experience with Toastmasters International proves this point. As Vice President for Education of the Los Baños Toastmasters Club, and later as President of LEAN Toastmasters Beijing, she guided clubs to achieve President’s Distinguished status. Not for the accolades, but because people grew. Members who once struggled to speak now led with confidence.
For professionals, her message is clear: everyone has a voice worth developing. Finding it requires courage, practice, and support.
For leaders, her reminder is sharper: leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about voice. The ability to speak with clarity, listen with empathy, and inspire action is what turns managers into leaders. Sheryl’s own life shows that anyone can step into their voice—and once you do, you can empower others to do the same.
Resilience and Reinvention in Times of Crisis
The pandemic could have crippled the UPLB Learning Resource Center. Instead, under Sheryl’s leadership, it became a story of reinvention.
In just months, she and her team launched 70+ webinars with over 300,000 registrants, transforming the center into a thriving digital hub. From a modest Facebook page with 2,000 followers, she built an online community of 118,000—a lifeline of learning during uncertain times.
This wasn’t luck. It was resilience.
Sheryl’s second message is that resilience is not about avoiding setbacks—it’s about reinventing yourself in the middle of them.
For educators, her story is a practical guide to digital transformation. She shows that innovation is not just about technology, but about mindset—about seeing crisis as opportunity.
For leaders, the takeaway is simple yet profound: resilience is direction, not speed. It’s not about getting everything right the first time; it’s about having the courage to move forward, adjust, and keep serving your people.
Keep Going — Stories as Fuel for Leadership
Sheryl’s third message is the heartbeat of her personal brand: #SHEKeepsGoing.
Through her blog and speaking engagements, she champions resilience, personal growth, and purpose-driven leadership. She writes about mental health, breastfeeding, and personal development, weaving advocacy into stories that uplift and inspire. Her mantra is simple: “Keep Going. Share Stories. Make a Difference.”
This message is not abstract—it’s lived. From winning Golden Dove Awards for children’s radio to leading webinars for thousands, from coaching Toastmasters clubs to shaping international communication strategies, she has always believed in the power of stories. Stories heal. Stories guide. Stories move people forward.
For HR professionals, this means creating cultures where people feel safe to share and be heard. Stories become tools for engagement, learning, and trust.
For leaders, this is a call to embody resilience. Progress is not perfection—it’s the courage to keep going despite uncertainty. And it’s the stories leaders tell, and live, that will inspire others to follow.
Sheryl’s three core messages—Find Your Voice, Reinvent with Resilience, and Keep Going with Stories—are not theoretical frameworks. They are principles forged in her own journey, tested in classrooms, broadcast studios, webinars, and global boardrooms.
Why Her Voice Matters Now
The workplace today is noisy, uncertain, and often overwhelming. People are burned out from digital fatigue, leaders are under pressure to perform and transform, and organizations are struggling to bridge the gap between rapid change and human connection. In this landscape, voices like Sheryl Hermosa-Ebron’s are not optional—they are essential.
A Communicator Who Has Lived the Shift
Sheryl’s credibility comes from experience, not theory. She has spent 17+ years at the frontlines of communication—producing award-winning children’s radio, anchoring television news, teaching communication to college students, and leading digital transformation in higher education.
She has worked inside government offices, academic institutions, international development banks, and grassroots advocacy groups.
This breadth of experience matters. When she speaks about resilience, she does so as someone who kept an entire university community connected during a global crisis. When she talks about finding your voice, she draws from her own journey of moving from shyness to broadcasting to global leadership. When she calls people to “keep going,” she does so with stories of transformation that span from Philippine classrooms to Beijing boardrooms.
A Different Kind of Motivational Speaker
There are many motivational speakers who inspire with energy and theatrics. Sheryl’s style is different. She inspires by blending professional strategy with personal authenticity.
- She doesn’t just say find your voice—she shows how, through Toastmasters, students, and professionals who grew under her mentorship.
- She doesn’t just preach resilience—she embodies it, through the UPLB LRC’s pivot that touched hundreds of thousands during the pandemic.
- She doesn’t just promote storytelling—she lives it, through her blog, #SHEKeepsGoing, where her own struggles and breakthroughs become fuel for others.
This makes her voice more than motivational—it’s transformational.
Why Professionals and Leaders Need Her Now
For professionals nationwide, Sheryl’s insights are a call to elevate communication as a core leadership skill. In an era where employee engagement, mental health, and digital adaptation are top priorities, her messages provide practical tools and a human-centered mindset.
For leaders in business, government, and education, Sheryl offers a rare blend of clarity and compassion. She reminds them that leadership is not about perfection or speed, but about direction, empathy, and progress. Her global experience gives her a wide lens, but her personal humility makes her message accessible.
A Ripple Effect That Lasts
Sheryl’s voice matters because it multiplies impact. Her work at UPLB still benefits students years after she moved on. Her programs on radio and TV continue to inspire. Her Toastmasters leadership left clubs stronger than before. And her communication strategies today ripple across borders, influencing partnerships and policies.
This is why now, more than ever, HR professionals, educators, and leaders need to listen to her: Sheryl’s voice does not just lift people up for a moment—it creates ripples of resilience and growth that last long after the applause fades.
A Voice That Reminds Us to Keep Going
From her quiet beginnings as a shy girl in the province to her present role as a global strategist in Beijing, Sheryl Hermosa-Ebron’s journey is proof that transformation is possible. She has stood in radio booths and television studios, taught in classrooms, led digital pivots that reached hundreds of thousands, and now helps shape communication strategies that connect people across nations.
Through every season, her message has remained clear: find your voice, reinvent with resilience, and keep going with stories.
For professionals, she offers not just techniques but vision—showing how communication builds trust, psychological safety, and engagement.
For leaders, she provides both courage and clarity, reminding them that progress is not perfection, and direction matters more than speed.
For anyone searching for hope, her mantra “Keep Going. Share Stories. Make a Difference” is a lifeline.
Sheryl is not the kind of motivational speaker who dazzles for a moment and then disappears. She is the kind who leaves you changed. Her voice stays with you long after the talk ends—urging you to rise, to keep moving, and to keep believing in the power of your own story.
In a world hungry for authentic voices, Sheryl Hermosa-Ebron is one we cannot afford to miss. When she speaks, she doesn’t just remind us that resilience is possible—she shows us that it is already within us, waiting to be awakened.
