The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership
Articles Back to Articles February 2024 The Power of Vulnerability in Leadership The most impactful leaders are those who dare to show vulnerability, a notion beautifully explored in Brene Brown’s “Dare to Lead”. I recently had the privilege of delving into this concept during a meeting with the Leadership Book Club by Phoenix Coaching Co. In the meeting, we all agreed that it takes courage to be vulnerable. Thinking more deeply about it, I see vulnerability as akin to standing in a dark space, unsure of what’s around you. There’s fear, but there’s also trust that you are safe in that space. Therefore, you can make the most out of the time you spend in that dark place. From my experiences, I know that being vulnerable requires immense emotional and mental energy. If I want vulnerability to show up regularly in my leadership, I know I need to prioritize self-care. Without this, my capacity to be vulnerable diminishes, and consequently, so does my ability to lead effectively. Indeed, leadership is not for the faint-hearted. It demands a soft front, strong back, and wild heart, as Brene Brown brilliantly describes. I am grateful to Afsheen Wey-Ismael for hosting this book club meeting and creating a space that allowed for open, vulnerable discussion. It’s in such space that we get to dig deep to uncover the golden nuggets of wisdom within ourselves, and share them in a conversation that and builds collective wisdom. This also fosters connections with fellow leaders from different parts of the globe who attended the book club. I truly look forward to our upcoming meeting.

Harnessing the Power of the Dragon
Articles Back to Articles February 2024 Harnessing the Power of the Dragon Today, we are ushering in the Year of the Dragon. Just as a dragon soars high into the sky, may this year be our opportunity to rise above our challenges and embrace the transformation that awaits us. In Chinese culture, the dragon is a revered symbol of power, wisdom, and the ability to invoke change. It’s a beautiful “coincidence” that this aligns with one of my values which is continuous personal growth. Indeed, this Chinese New Year, I am not just celebrating a new beginning, but a chance to redefine myself and my community. Transformation constitutes a profound change – not just a shift in circumstances, but a metamorphosis of our being. As we venture into this new year, I invite you to embrace personal transformation. Last year, I set a personal goal to do less and achieve more. It was challenging, but by strengthening my practice of trust & surrender, I was able to make a significant progress. And I intend to continue the journey. So what personal transformation do you want to accomplish this year? Whatever it may be, my wish for you is this: May the Year of the Dragon bring you the strength and the wisdom to seek continuous personal growth. Let’s make this Year of the Dragon a year of amazing personal transformation. 🌟  #ChineseNewYear #YearOfTheDragon #NewBeginnings #SelfDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #StrengthAndWisdom #RiseAbove #EmbraceChange #ContinuousImprovement #Transformation #HighPerformers #womenleaders Recent post : Harnessing the Power of the Dragon Unlock the Power of Energy in Public Speaking My Journey to Self-Harmony and Worthiness Embracing Greater Fullness of Life The Hustle – A Tale of Resilience and Redefining Success
Unlock the Power of Energy in Public Speaking
Articles Back to Articles February 2024 Unlock the Power of Energy in Public Speaking Have you ever wondered what distinguishes a good public speaking session from an unforgettable one?  After years of experience and countless sessions, I’ve come to believe that one crucial element that makes all the difference is : the energy we bring. Energy and emotions are like ripples in water; they spread far and wide, touching everyone in their path. Recently, I had the joy of facilitating an “Effective Public Speaking” session for the team at Neo Amca Innovative Solutions under Ethel Aldea’s visionary leadership in Manila, Philippines. Together, we dove deep into how showing up with positive energy can transform not just our words, but also make our messages resonate deeply with our audience. It’s about showing up with a presence that uplifts every single person listening. But here’s where it gets fascinating – high-frequency emotions such as joy, gratitude, passion, love – these aren’t just feel-good states. They’re powerful tools that can dramatically enhance our ability to communicate effectively. When we tap into these emotions before stepping onto any stage or meeting room (virtual or otherwise), we set a tone that invites connection and inspiration. During the session with Neo Amca Innovative Solutions’ crew, we explored eye-opening research, shared personal stories vulnerably, and explore practical ways to elevate our speaking vibe. As someone passionate about fostering well-being, I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative it can be when we intentionally manage our energy. How do YOU prepare yourself to show up for public speaking? Share your strategies below!
