2 subscribers, thank you!
Happy Wednesday! 🙂 While I was browsing FB last night, I came across my FB friends’ post about an 11-year old girl named Mary Grace. This little girl Mary Grace handwrote a note that said, “2 Subscribers, Thank you!” She even celebrated her 2 YouTube subscribers with cake, soft drinks, and fast food. When I first saw the screenshot, I felt a pinch in my heart. My initial reaction was, “Awwww… how innocent and how pure is this girl’s heart. She has 2 subscribers on YouTube and she really took the time to write a Thank You note, buy Coke and Mcdo, and prepare a small cake with candles.” …followed…

Could there be Gifts Behind Your Complaints?
Happy Monday! How are you coping with the new normal? Whether you continue to work from home today or you need to get back to work in the office, take care! Today, I’d like to talk about the gift behind complaints. I remember the “me” before. I was too shy, too introverted. I’ve always been shy ever since I was young. Even when I already became an author, I was still too shy. When people approached me or talked to me, I wanted to hide. Huhu! After I wrote my first book and my first few books, so many people wanted to treat me to lunch or dinner or snacks.…

How do you feel these days?
Happy Monday! 🙂 How are you? How do you feel these days? By the way, I have a free eBook for you titled How to Make Your Dreams Come True. Details are in the P.S. of this email. 🙂 The past few weeks have been so busy for me. I did four virtual keynotes last week. Last Mother’s Day Sunday, we launched a new book (virtually). Two weeks prior to that, my team and I hosted the HR Summit Global with over 10,000 participants from 32 countries. On top of that, a number of my colleagues from the speaking community in the Philippines and globally messaged me, called me up,…

What do you care about the most these days?
Happy Monday! 🙂  Happy Easter! 🙂 How are you? Today, I just want to listen to you. I just want to hear from you. During this corona virus crisis, what do you care the most? What excites you? What scares you? How can I help you? In the past few weeks, I’ve been doing Zoom calls, meetings, and WhatsApp calls with my family, friends, fellow speakers, and fellow authors. A number of fellow speakers and authors from different countries reached out to me and asked me to help them share their message as an online course, online events, or as email newsletters. I’ve also consulted a lot of fellow authors/speakers…

The Author’s Voice is now LIVE!
How are you? Last month, I started working on a passion project. The lockdown gave me enough time to sit down and finally work on it. Guess what the passion project is? It’s a podcast. I had a podcast called Write Conversations in 2017 but I was not able to sustain it. So I am really happy to share that my podcast THE AUTHOR’S VOICE is now out! It’s now available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and probably all the major podcast directories. You can now subscribe for free, of course! You can simply go to http://theauthorsvoice.net/ We’re running a little contest. You can join the contest in 4 simple steps: Step 1: If…

Be Extra Kind to Yourself (Covid Edition)
Happy Holy Monday!:) Hope you’re having a great day despite the current corona virus crisis we’re facing. My email today is short and I only have one message: Be extra kind to yourself. Maybe you are not as productive as you were prior to the corona virus crisis. That’s okay. Maybe you’re anxious and worried about the future. Maybe you’re feeling a little sad, or maybe you’re really sad. Maybe you even feel like crying. Maybe you feel disappointed. Whatever it is you’re feeling, be extra kind and compassionate to yourself. Cry if you feel like crying. Sit with your emotions. I did this last night and it was so…

Something good will come out of this!
How are you? I hope you and your family are doing okay amidst the corona virus crisis. My message today is simple: Something good will come out of this. I remember a funny incident last week. I had a new laptop, two sophisticated mics, and an intimidating recording software. Here’s the photo I showed you last time. There’s a new addition to my set-up. I have a pop filter, too –the ones you see among professional singers. Looks perfect, right? Alas! I didn’t know how to use the recording software. Not only that, my two mics didn’t work on my new laptop because apparently, I needed additional chord and splitter…

A Lesson on Humility and Obedience: Covid Edition plus CLOY Hangover
Happy Monday! Let me tell you an old story that is still relevant today. There was an army commander named Naaman of Syria. He was well respected, just like Capt. Ri of Crash Landing on You. While Naaman was well-esteemed, he was a leper. One day, a little girl, their maid, told Naaman’s wife that someone from the land of Israel can cure Naaman. The wife told Naaman, and Naaman obeyed. He asked his King for permission to go to Israel and he was granted the permission. Upon reaching Israel, Elisha, the man who was supposed to cure him didn’t even meet Naaman in person. He just sent the message…

Crash Landing on You and Covid-19
Happy Thursday! How are you? Hope you are well. If you check social media and the news these days, the topic is all about Covid. I heard that a lot of offices now are encouraging their teams to work from home, which is really good. Some employees may not be lucky because of the layoffs that are happening. Entrepreneurs are also experiencing a decline in their profits because of covid. I, as a speaker, have also experienced having several events in the Philippines, Africa, and the Maldives canceled/postponed due to covid. This is not the time to panic. So in this short email, I’d like to share five powerful ways to…
