The second session of the Philippines’ Top 30 Leaders on LinkedIn Series of Leadership Chats will be this Saturday, May 27, from 6 to 7 pm Philippines / 2 to 3 pm UAE. The original topic was about Integrity, but now it is about Integrity and Leadership. The expanded topic was a result of our online meeting last May 12 when we the panellists, Daisy Lacuanan-Callanta and me, with the moderator, Mariel Tablan, and co-organizer, Anda Goseco, brainstormed on our proposed talking points.
My own understanding about Integrity is that it is related to Legacy. We can only be branded as a person with Integrity once we have crossed over the afterlife. It is similar to the saying that ‘Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future’. How about you? How do you define Integrity as a leader and as an individual? Please therefore join us by registering https://rb.gy/m6a9n and share your own interpretation of Integrity.
The Philippines’ Top 30 Leaders on LinkedIn was compiled in the second quarter of 2022 by IMS Learning & Consulting and Coach Anda in collaboration with VB Consulting and in partnership with Marketing in Asia, ABS-CBN News Channel, Great Place To Work Philippines, and the Asian Institute of Management.
Ian Santos of IMS Learning & Consulting explains: “Filipino leaders are world-class and are among the best in the world. We want to put a spotlight on this fact through this initiative and are excited to begin the maiden search this 2022! We have been in challenging times over the last two years. But great leaders rise up in times of crisis, elevating their teams and organizations to even greater heights, hence our theme – Leaders of Great Workplaces in Times of Crisis.” He added the objectives:
• Recognize outstanding Filipino leaders on LinkedIn who exemplify leadership traits worth emulating during this pandemic;
• Start a movement to enhance and elevate leadership capabilities in the Philippines;
• Create a community that helps each other become better leaders; and
• Inspire other leaders to elevate their game.
The inaugural Leadership Chat session was held on April 22 with the following panellists: Dr. Rey Fremista, President of the Philippine Society for Quality Foundation and Board Member of Philippine Society for Quality, Inc.; Annaliza Laxamana, Founder and CEO of Modern Ads & Promo, Inc.; and Ray Berja, Managing Director of airasia Superapp PH and CFO of Philippines AirAsia. Louie Banta, CEO and Chief Consultant of LJMB Consulting, was the moderator.
Here’s a recent quote from my co-panellist Daisy Lacuanan-Callanta: “Dazed and amazed to have received a congratulatory email that I was awarded as ‘Christian NPO CEO of the Year’ in the 2022 APAC CEO of the Year Awards. It is an award giving body that aims to shine a spotlight on the companies and individuals changing the business landscape in the Asia Pacific Region, featured by APAC Insider, published by AI Global Media, a UK based publishing group.
To be recognized internationally by a prestigious award giving body, for the work we do as a Christian NPO, is truly a testament that affirms and confirms God’s Kingdom work in and through us.
The Lord is putting Jesus HUGS Ministries in the world map as we continue to exalt His Name, glorify God, and serve others. All glory and honor to Jesus Christ alone.”
Daisy is the President and CEO of Jesus HUGS Ministries Inc., a duly registered non-profit Christian organization in the Philippines that provides free community learning and outreach programs to help spread awareness and proper care for children with special needs.
Our moderator is Mariel Tablan, an Associate Director of AIA Philippines which is into Financial Services. She has this to say: “Integrity is about credibility and trustworthiness. People come to me for an objective conversation. They know that when they ask for guidance, it will be their agenda that I am focused on.”
With Mariel as moderator, I am sure that we will have a very engaging session this Saturday. Please do join us for an hour, from 6 to 7 pm Philippines / 2 to 3 pm UAE. Thank you very much.
