Why Gratitude Matters
As a speaker, one of my most requested talks is GRATITUDE. One specific problem that gratitude addresses is employee engagement. As I speak to HR Professional and business leaders, they would tell me that they want to increase the engagement levels of their employees, and eventually increase their productivity. In my years of experience giving my signature talk on The Power of Gratitude, I saw how employees’ perspective change from “What’s in it for me?” “I deserve this.” “I dislike my boss because…” “I’m not happy in my company because…” to “Oh wow, I didn’t realize how blessed I am to be part of this company.” “Yes, I do appreciate…

My birthday gift for you :)
Happy Monday! 🙂 Are you familiar with the hit movie The Secret? I had a chance to interview two of the teachers featured in that movie. One of them is Jack Canfield, the bestselling author of the book series Chicken Soup for the Soul. That book sold over 500 million copies in more than 100 countries worldwide. 500 million! Woah! The other person I interviewed is Dr. John Demartini. In my interview with them, they shared how powerful gratitude is and how it helps us succeed and be happy. Gratitude is so simple, right? But it’s so powerful at the same time. Aside from Jack Canfield and Dr. John Demartini, I also sat down with some…

Let’s celebrate something today! :)
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How’s your start of the week so far? Last night, the plants my interior designer ordered for our condo finally arrived. I was (and still am) so happy! There were a total of 10 outdoor plants for our veranda plus 1 indoor plant. Words are powerful, so I decided to name our indoor plant, JOY. I have 10 outdoor plants which I plan to name Gratitude, Laughter, Gentle, Courage, Radiant, Beautiful, and so on! Hehe! 🙂 Every time I see JOY, I imagine what it feels like to feel a deep sense of joy and to smile and to laugh. Plus, the quote “Let’s celebrate something today”…

Do you want to go to Maldives?
Happy Wednesday, How are you? Hope you’re having a beautiful day so far. Let me share with you a short story. Last year, I dreamed of going to Maldives. I said, “God, I want to go to Maldives.” I was so clear about what I wanted. About two weeks ago, God gave me the best version of my dream. I was invited to speak in Maldives. So I went to Maldives for work (which is also my passion) plus vacation. My clients paid for everything — travel and accommodation. Technically, I only spoke for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, but my clients were so generous. They booked…

“No Place Like Home” Philippine Homeschool Convention 2019
“There is no school equal to a decent home, and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.” So goes a quote attributed to well-known nonviolence movement leader and Nobel Prize winner Mahatma Gandhi. Indeed, truer words have never been said. After all, children first learn within the confines of their homes amidst loving parents and well-meaning caregivers. At home, children learn the basics of communicating, personal care, and proper conduct. It is within the safety of the home that they first learn about family, love, and security. This is why Educating for Life or EFL wants to gather together with their fellow homeschoolers as one community at the Philippine Homeschool…

Who is your coach/mentor?
Happy Wednesday!! Hope you are smiling as you are reading this. A few weeks ago, I was having dinner with my friend who is in her late 50s. In the middle of our conversation, she said, “Sha, someday, I want to be like you.” I almost choked. My friend is one generation older than me and she was saying she wanted to be like me someday. I looked at her with a curious smile and asked, “What do you mean?” “Someday, I’d like to be a global speaker like you.” She replied. I was amazed at her humility and candor. This also made me think… We can learn from anyone…
