THANKS FOR JOINING HEART AT WORK

Yesterday, we had a great time during the "Heart at Work" Seminar. We've learned a lot from Six Seconds EQ Coach Mr. Bernard Marquez on how our emotions play a big part in productivity and work satisfaction. 

Photo Taken from Heart@Work May 17, 2013 – Next run coming soon!

I had the chance to chat with two interesting people too. Joey is a young IT professional who I believe will stumble on something interesting soon. And Ms. Michelle, a teacher by heart, who is currently learning how to operate the construction supply business that her husband started 10 years ago. 

What I appreciate is the fact that both of them are eager to improve and grow in what they do. I get encouraged whenever I meet people like them. 

We'd like to thank everyone who attended the workshop yesterday. May your quest for learning bring you success.

Our next learning session will be an interesting one entitled "WIN in Your First 30 Days in Sales: Sales Lessons for Non-Sales People." This will be on June 14. If you've been thinking of starting a sales career, but have no clue where to start, this learning session is perfect for you.

HOW LEADERS SUCCEED

Why do you see highly skilled individuals who get promoted to a leadership position end up stressed or miserable? (Even worst, fail.) 

And why do you see people who are not as technically proficient succeed in the same position?

Traditional education or schools may have programmed us to be good at doing tasks, but not necessarily good at working well with others. 

The people who are more likely to succeed in their industries are the ones who are good at making "emotional connections." Not only are they able to manage their own emotions when it gets tough, but they're also sensitive enough to consider the feelings of others. 

And we all like working with people or leaders who are considerate!

With that, my partners and I came up with a learning event or a workshop this May 17 to help you become more "emotionally intelligent." 

Featuring one of the top certified EQ coaches in the country, Mr. Bernard Marquez. (under Six Seconds Company) He has done trainings with companies like Citibank, HSBC, Jollibee, Globe, Smart, Unilab, Glaxo and Ayala. 

If you're free on May 17, join us. This is a good investment for your personal development. Better yet, bring your officemates with you. I hope I'll get to meet you there.

iCHANGE: Winning Disciplines for Change (Bacolod)

It is a privilege and an honor for me to be a part of this learning event in Bacolod happening on September 22, 2012.

I wrote Productive Pinoy as a way to inspire, encourage and equip Pinoys on how they can maximize their talents, showcase their art, or even start the work or business they've been dreaming of. (Start Something!)

In this event, I get to have that opportunity again. We are expecting around 7,000 participants to attend this conference.

The best part is that I get to do it with the people I respect and admire.  (…to be on the same stage with them is a humbling invitation)

Francis Kong is the author of 10 books, a sought-after speaker, and an entrepreneur. The first time I've heard him speak was about 11 years ago. Since then, I've admired his work. Sir Francis has a unique way of bringing out the best in people.

I've met Alex Lacson last year. Sir Alex is a lawyer by profession, but what impressed me was his down to earth personality! His love for our country propelled him to write the national bestseller, '12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do for his Country.' 

Ms. Lois Yasay is one of the authors of the Travel Blog – wearesolesisters.com. Together with her Travel Sister Chichi, they left their jobs to travel for six months in Southeast Asia and India. (Now, that's passion!) I'm sure that's an interesting story to hear!

So if you're from Bacolod, or anywhere nearby, I hope you could join us. Please see the contact details by checking out the poster above.

YOUnique Book – Learn How to Succeed with Others

After reading several chapters of Jayson Lo's new book, YOUnique, I took the liberty to post an excerpt and a good take away.

Jayson writes …

Even though man can live alone, eat alone or survive alone, he was created to function in a community. Human beings are designed to be with other human beings. We are meant to be together with other people.

I like to think that "different" isn't spelled "B-A-D." I spell it, "G-O-O-D." Someone can be different and not be wrong. If everyone were like one person, then this planet would be a whole lot depressing to live in because we would do the same stuff again and again.

Jayson continues and takes it further…

When you look for team members, make sure you pick people who are different from you.

I couldn't agree more. Don't look for duplicates, or people who will think like you. It's good to be with people who sees the world differently. Not only will you find their insights valuable, but they will also most likely complement the work that you do.

The challenge is for YOU to know how to work with them and that's what Jayson answers in his book, YOUnique. 

Here's your chance to hear Jayson Lo talk about the four YOUnique personalities. Attend the YOUnique Conference on July 27, Friday. See the event details here. See you there.

Blogging for a Purpose – Week 1

I've been given the privilege to teach 10 students (12-14 years old home schoolers) on how to "Blog for a Purpose." This will go on for 8 weeks. At the end of the program, I hope that they'll be able to find their voices and use their blogs to make a difference in their generation. 

Here's the transcript:

Good afternoon! My name is Yeng Remulla. Welcome to the "Blogging for a Purpose" class.

I own a blog called "Productive Pinoy." This blog started around 2008. My original intention was to journal the things that I've learned in business and in life. 

This blog branched out to what's known today as the Productive Pinoy book – 19 positive reviews as of date, making it one of the most recommended reads this 2012. The book is now available in 100+ bookstores nationwide.

My blog has allowed me to ...

• help others by giving practical tips or advice 

• provide motivation or inspiration to others 

• promote other people's work

• organize my ideas/thoughts and develop my writing skills 

• journal my learnings and later on jumpstart a book 

• promote the Productive Pinoy book and connect to its readers

• sell my book online

• organize events like this.

• get invitations to speak to organizations about productivity

• collaborate with other awesome bloggers like this group

• get invitations to write for publications

• meet other bloggers and champions in their industries 

In this class, I'd like to help you start a blog that you can use to make a difference.

As a student in this class, you're expected to …

1. Join the discussion.

2. Research on your own. (consider Google to be your best friend!)

3. Probe and ask questions.

Let's start our discussion!

What is a blog?

‘From “Web log.” A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.”

Unlike the usual "website"...

Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order, with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’

Blogs are used in different ways. Each blogger has his own reason or purpose why he or she blogs. 

This person is a big fan of Justin Bieber... 

As a former CEO of Thomas Nelson, one of the biggest publishing company in the world, Michael Hyatt is blogging to help aspiring authors to succeed and get published.
My friend Ruffy Biazon blogs about his insights on good governance.

The Act Like a Man blog answers the tough questions on manhood.

How about a blog that's specifically written for librarians?

These are just a few examples of the blogs you'll find online. 

DISCUSSION: Why do you think people blog? (below are the answers from our discussion)

8 REASONS PEOPLE BLOG

1. To teach

2. To sell their services or build their expertise

3. To express their art

4. To influence people or change the world

5. To improve their writing / or clarify their thinking

6. For fun or entertainment

7. To stay connected

8. To make money

Why blog? Who are you writing for? What would you like to change?

The first step in blogging is to know your purpose.


ACTIVITY:

1. Draw/illustrate the blog that you're planning to start.

2. Tell us something about your blog. What makes it different?

Elise will blog about the music of her generation – and how it could be better.

Gab will blog about his insights on science and sports.

Spring and Joaquin will journal their learnings from their home schooling classes.

Sam will start a photo blog – "The world through her lens"

Trey will start a blog called "groundedintheword.com" – a blog that will encourage teenagers to live according to God's Word. 

It was refreshing to hear from them! I'm excited for week 2!
