You are Invited: Speak to Inspire
A few years ago, I was in a university outside Manila. I just gave a talk and I was now seated with the audience. The next speaker was on stage. At first, the students were engaged, maybe for about 2 minutes. After which, I heard the chatters and the speaker continued to speak. Later on, the speaker faced the screen where his powerpoint was projected and he was so engaged in discussing his topic…but the audience was disengaged. That’s when I realised how challenging it is to sit in a talk and listen to someone who is… uhmmm….boring. On another occasion, I attended a 3-day conference. On Day 3, a…

What do Bo Sanchez, Francis Kong, and Brian Tracy have in common?
Now, hold that thought for a moment. It was April 2013. I was in Tagaytay for Bo Sanchez’s four-day Bestselling Authors Bootcamp. He invited me to speak on eBook Publishing. The other speakers were Rissa Singson-Kawpeng, Atty. Alex Lacson, and Ardy Roberto (husband of Miriam Quiambao), among others. At the end of the 4-Day Bootcamp, Bro. Bo asked all the participants to write down on a piece of paper the titles of the books they wanted to write. I didn’t write a book title. I wrote, The Complete Online Course on Book Writing and Book Publishing. I showed it to Bro. Bo. He nodded his head and said, “Go, Sha!” After a…
