Multi-awarded educator, entrepreneur, and motivational author Dr. Carl E. Balita is set to launch his latest book Standing to Outstanding: A Framework for Meaningful Personal Branding in Dubai on June 2, 2025. The event, in collaboration with The Global Filipino Magazine, will be held at Max’s Restaurant in BurJuman, Dubai, starting at 7:00 PM.
This highly anticipated gathering will include a meet-and-greet, book signing, and an intimate conversation with Dr. Balita, giving readers a chance to engage directly with one of the Philippines’ most inspiring thought leaders. Attendees are encouraged to register early due to limited seating.
Co-authored with Atty. Lyca Balita and Mr. Adrian Tabalanza, Standing to Outstanding goes beyond conventional motivational literature by offering a practical, philosophical, and deeply human framework for personal branding. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, the book invites readers to explore their untapped potential and move from a state of simply existing to truly excelling.
The book emphasizes that many people fail to realize their full potential not because they lack talent or drive, but because they haven’t recognized their unique inner power. Through a blend of classical philosophy and modern-day personal development strategies, the authors provide readers with the tools to build a brand grounded in purpose, virtue, and authenticity.
Dr. Balita, who recently received the 2024 Outstanding Filipino (TOFIL) Award for Education, is widely known for his transformative contributions to the Philippine education and entrepreneurship sectors. He is the founder of the Carl E. Balita Review Center (CBRC), one of the country’s most recognized institutions for licensure exam preparation, and a long-time advocate for excellence and empowerment.
