Sir Francis,
I’ve been a long time follower of your blogs and a very big fan of leadership and motivational writters such as yourself and John Maxwell. I have personally met you when you conducted a leadership training for IBM business services a couple of years back. Although I’m no longer a part of that organization, I still assume a leadership and manegerial role for my current company.
I was just wondering if you have form an organization or a club for leadership/ motivational enthusiast like myself, who not only learn from all of these but applies it daily as well. I am very interested in sharing of best practices and experiences from other leaders and also means of reaching out to other people longing to develop their individual skills and character.
Sir Francis,
I attended one of your seminars here in Zamboanga City, and inspired me and my wife a lot. Hope you could do more out of town seminars.
Keep inspiring, God Bless!
Michael
Hi Francis,

Hi Mr. Francis,
I’ve read lots of your column in Phil. Star, and watched you at UKG. So amazing! Your such an inspiration, motivator, and great speaker so to speak. A friend of mine use to gave me an audio CD of your talk because she was not familiar to you, I thank her so much and give her some feedback about you and guess what? she wanted the CD back to her. (hehehe) but i refused. (hehehe). I shared that audio CD to my close friends and they liked it in fact I reproduce it for them to have their own copy. Now I’m so in awe that I want to have more CD’s of your talks if not all atleast some. Hope there’s a store where we can buy CD’s of your talks.
More Power and May God Continue to Bless You More and More Wisdom to Share and Inspire!
God Bless to you and your plans.
Keep It Up Sir;-)
Wendz
Hello Sir Francis,
I have met a lot of speakers but you’re one of the best. Keep on inspiring lives just like what I felt the first time I’ve heard your talk. More blessings!
Sir Francis,
I know you always receive those comments saying you’re an inspiration and that you’re the best speaker. Well, it is true. And I feel blessed that I attended the PICPA Convention in Davao last year, your talk on leadership was just so very affecting. And as your books, newspaper articles, radio program and your blog. You should get your own TV show!
Thank you for touching so many lives. Hope i could pay it forward in my own little ways. God bless po!^^
Thank you so much for your encouragement.
God bless you.
Francis
Sir Francis,
This is the first time i heard about you. I am very happy that I attended the seminar. I learned a lot. Thank you for visiting our school Chiang Kai Shek College, for sharing your life experiences and how to achieve excellence in life to us. You inspired a lot of people. More power to you.
Hope you can visit us again with another topic.
God Bless you.
First of all good evening Mr. Kong. I am Patrick Lim of CKSC-FBAS. I was the one taking pictures of you and us (idol kasi kita dati pa while reading ur column in the newspaper). Bola aside, i really am thankful for the school for such organizing a meaningful, inspiring and very motivational seminars but nothing is more inspiring, motivating than what you have thought us today on excellence within ourselves that is hidden through all of us specially me. I really want to go to your seminars but always lacking of time. Truth to be told, i was hesitant to go to this seminar because i thought it’s another speaker with the same routine and same boring style and full of power point presentations. BUT….When i heard that you are the guest speaker….damn i said to myself…” To hell with all my schedules, cancel it all and listen to this one great individual and learn something from you.” And of course I know your expensive so hey another good opportunity to save some bucks. Then you talked about your own life experiences, i can truly relate to you but the difference is you strived to change in college but im still stuck in my old self.
Upon learning something from you a while ago, i can now start my day great. Why? because everyday of my life will be a life well spent for i will now acquire knowledge, experiences and motivations hopefully and personally from you. I know that you’ve been busy theses days as the most sought out speaker not only locally but globally in demand. But i want to ask you a favor if I may. It’s just that unlike you. you have so many mentors that will guide you along the way to greatness. what i’m trying to say is if you could be my mentor? I am willing to learn a lot from you. Your the only speaker that i idolized and i felt in my heart that your special. Special in a kind of way that something is good will happen to me if i learn something from you. Your very humble because not all speakers are as accommodating as you are.
And I’m one of the chosen 5 that you have chosen to attend to your seminar for free. I am really thankful because you have made my wish come true. Attending and speaking to you personally are definitely on my wishlist. Thank You Mr. Francis J. Kong. (APPLAUSE!). All thumbs up for you and may God bless you with good health and more seminars and lives to change. I hope everybody will have a chance to listen to you as I did. I will inform you tom. about the progress in our dean if we will be exempted in our class. Have a nice evening Mr. Kong and thank you. Hope you can grant my favor. Mabuhay!
I had a great time with you guys too robina,
Francis
Sir Francis,
Good day Sir. I’m a student from Chiang Kai Shek College. Sir thank you so much for your inspirational speech in our school yesterday. It was a heart-felt speech for me what you have shared with us. I was reflecting on myself and you make me look bad..lol! but I’m glad you did. pls pray for me too sir, to change my my bad habits. I hope and pray many more people(including me) will hear your speeches. Godspeed Sir. To God be the glory! ^^
Dear Francis,
On behalf of St. Mary’s Academy Pasay, our heartfelt thanks for letting the students experience listening to your nuggets of wisdom at today’s Culture of Personal Excellence. You are spot-on in starting them young, especially in an environment where integrity and character are scarce.
Hats off to your guest speakers, especially Kim Atienza and Illac Diaz. I admire Kim for his great sacrifice to pursue his passion, and to Mr. Lito Atienza for being a great dad at the time he was needed the most.
Illac Diaz is a Super Pinoy! He is God’s gift to the Filipinos! May his race multiply!
To your team, KUDOS!
More power!
ANother successful seminar hosted by the top motivators in the country today. Never a dull moment because of the atmosphere of eagerness to learn engulfs the whole room including me excited as always with my classmates. We are very thankful and very fortunate that we are the chosen 5 that were given a chance to witness Mr. Francis rocking the house as always. Thank You once again And Godspeed.
MAgnificent in everyway, deliverance perfectly executed. Laughter cures the fainting heart, wisdom is achieved by us your audience Mr. Francis. Thank You and hope u liked my little so called quote. Godspeed
Sir Francis,
Your speeches are brilliant. One can learn so much from them. I hope to hear you again when you visit Silliman University.
Sir Francis,
Thanks for visiting Silliman University. It was such an honor to meet you and to learn from your energetic, wonderful, and inspiring speech this morning! Hope you’ll visit Silliman again, someday… More power and God Bless you!
Sir Francis,
It was indeed my most remembering day so far in my life. Though I am still a neophyte but I know the challenge is great. Thanks for visiting Silliman University,God bless to your family and i really do hope that what you’ve shared will always be a part of me. Thanks God for sending you here as an instrument to all of us.
Coach Francis,
I’m so happy seeing you again at Stellar’s 2nd Year Anniversary when you had your talk about Excellence.
I hope you still remember when I invited you to have a short talk at UST last 1996 for our graduating batch in college of Commerce. Back then, your talk was FREE. Your horizons really widends and you’ve reached already the farthest places to share about Excellence.
I always admire your dedication to educate people on how to become Excellent inside out.
The first 2 books I bought was ONLY the REAL MATTERS and the THREE LITTLE WORDS. These books changed my outlook in life and perspective.
Recently I read through again the Only the Real Matters and it helped me a lot especially now that my husband has a Colon Cancer (stage 3). I have to draw strength from the LORD to withstand these challenges. I’m the sole bread winner of my family with a 6 year old daughter. I have numerous burdens that makes me fall on my knees to the ground.
While reading through one of your works, what struck me most was the Inaugural speech of John F. Kennedy. The famous, “ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.”
Without putting limits to my incapabilities (like finances), I’m thinking of putting up a business (to think BIG) so that I will no longer ask for my in-laws’ financial support but will have an opportunity to exercise my faith and talent instead.
I was thinking of putting a Variety Store that offers Organic Products, All-Natural Food Products, Fresh Farm Products, etc. This idea came up, because my husband is taking the Cellular and Biochemical Treatment. We were advised by doctors to undergo radiotherapy but we preferred to switch to something that is natural and will give out postive results. His diet is more on honey, whey milk, buffalo’s milk, duck’s eggs, bulalo, whole wheat, potato, sweet potato, etc. I thougt of buying in bulk and why not selling these products as well. And soon maybe I would have my own farm. This is the official website of my husband’s doctor —> http://www.doc-rbnavarro.net/index.htm
Again, Coach FRANCIS Kudos to you! Pray that God will always GUIDE you and BLESS you richly so that you may be able to GUIDE and BLESS more people every time you TALK. God bless to you and Lilian.
h!sIr..^^
you are such a brilliant speaker…
we learned a lot from you…
thank you for visiting Silliman University..
God bless you and your familly…
I feel so bad not knowing you before. I just read about you today and I’m amazed with all the stuff that you do. I can’t wait to have you as our speaker this coming wednesday. I’m sure you’ll be great. I hope I can take a picture with you sir.
I’m now officialy a fan.
Hi Sir Francis, Thank you for being an inspiration
I immediately became a fan of yours the first time i saw you in UKG, you really inspire me with your advices and I really admire your generosity in sharing your wisdom and experiences. I hope I could attend one of your talks and meet you personally. by the way, I am the sister of Atty. Alvin Baria 
More power and continue to inspire the world.
Sir:
Sir, I really love the way you deliver your speech. You are the man of character and oneself motivator. You’ve change me sir and I’m very thankful to God that He is using you to change me and others. I was really inspired by what you have shared to us during your visit in SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY. GOB BLESS YOU SIR AND MORE POWER.
Gud morning!
Im Ruth from Davao City.. I only see you in UKG. But I heard you always go to Davao. I hope that I will learn from you, I really excited to see you here too..
Im looking forward to be at your seminars here in Davao soon!!! Take care…
Hi Sir!
I just found your site and I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing powerful and inspiring life lessons through your works. I had listened to a keynote speech you did several years back at a PMAP conference here in Cebu when I was still a college student and it was what got me to start reading your books. Beyond the personal enlightenment that I get from having read them, I feel the need to share it to other people especially in the organization I am currently working for. I am now working for a non-government organization that runs various development programs that include youth development and microfinance. I am just curious to know if it may be possible for you to do a talk for our employees and/or beneficiaries and how it may be done. All the best to you, Sir!
Sir Francis Kong:
I can’t seem to find your full biography on the net. I come across a few accreditations, training, books, but no biography. Not even on wikipedia, yahoo or google. I heard you say you graduated top of your college when you gave a seminar here at Silliman University, but I never knew what course. I’ve searched your whole website but still nothing about your course.
Were you an ACCY? MGT? ENTREP?
I’m a BBA student, too. At Silliman!
Hi Sir,
Thank you very much for all the inspiration. Maybe I’m not that fortunate to buy your books but each time I read “Life’s Work”, I got the feeling of warm comfort from God and realize how bless I’am. This is the first time I saw your posts online. I hope to find time to read them at our office so it could motivate me more to work and do my best all times.
Thank you very much and God bless us all
We have a book you wrote One Day at A Time. It’s very helpful…
God bless you Mr. Francis Kong. Hope you can come and speak in one of our church events in Faith Fellowship.
Hi Mr. Francis, not too long ago i was surfing the web and landed on your website. My officemate saw it and asked who you are and i said Mr. Francis Kong, and she said who is he? To make a long story short, she is now a reader of your article in The Philippine Star, she even cut and posted it on her white board , and she was even excited one morning to tell me she saw you on television. Because you are so brilliant and truly blessed, not to mention how you inspire people. Thank you sir, i hope i can attend your leadership seminars, or maybe you can give a lecture in our office.. InshAllah. God Bless Sir.
HI francis, Fred here(from cebu remember?)…good to see you and connect again…
Ito ay isang kwento ng pasasalamat.
Ako ay nasa kolehiyo pa noon, taong 2003, nang aking matuklasan ang ‘The Master’s Touch’(DZFE 98.7fm) sa radyo. At dun na nagsimula ang pagtangkilik ko sa klasikal na musika. Naaalala ko pa noon, isa sa aking mga naging propesor ang nagrekomenda ng pakikinig sa klasikal na musika habang nagbabasa o nag-aaral, nakakatulong daw ito na magbigay ginhawa sa isip para mas madaling maintindihan ang binabasa o pinag-aaralan. Pero ang lakas ng musika ay dapat na mahina lamang, yung halos hindi mo naririnig. Dahil dito, naging regular na akong tagapakinig ng DZFE. Taong 2004, ako ay nagtapos ng kolehiyo at sumabak na sa trabaho. Nung ako ay magsimulang magtrabaho, unti-unti ko nang nararanasan ang sinasabi ng karamihan na ‘reality’ (halaw sa kasabihan na “Welcome to reality.”). ‘Stress’/'pressure’ sa trabaho, mga kasamahan sa trabaho, pera, pamilya at personal. Taong 2006, ikalawang taon ng pakikipagsapalaran sa buhay-trabaho, isang umaga binuksan ko ang radyo at nakinig sa DZFE, dito ko na natuklasan ang programang “Business Matters”, sakto, isang programa na nagbibigay liwanag sa mga taong na-’stress’/na-’pressure’ sa trabaho. Dahil dito ay nakikinig na ako ng “Business Matters” pag may pagkakataon. Nabanggit sa programa na mayroong ‘website’ ang “Business Matters”, http://www.businessmatters.org. Nang bisitahin ko ang ‘website’ ay labis ang pasasalamat ko dahil mababalikan ko na ang mga ‘business matters’ na na-’miss’kong mapakinggan sa radyo. Dito ko rin simulang makilala si Francis Kong, ang isa sa mga biyaya sa akin ng Panginoon.
Ginoong Francis Kong, maraming salamat po.
P.S.
Where can I buy your books?
I just finished reading the “The Early Bird Catches The Worm But The Second Mouse Gets the Cheese” book. Really funny(makes me laugh) and inspiring book. I borrowed the book from an officemate, I wish to have my own copy and share it to my family, friends and everyone.
And also I hope to get to see you speak in one of your seminars.
Regards to “The Ilocana”. God bless you… more!
-Joseph

Sir Francis. I was one of those hundreds of students who attended the CFC seminar… You really spoke well. You definitely aroused our slumbering passions…. Sir with what you said, I am much more driven to reach the peak of my goals. Thank you… I’d like to extend my real gratitude to you sir! I salute you! You are a real model. Continue holding seminars with your persuasive aura sir… Till then…
hello Sir,I am Earnest.i was there when you were speaking at the ccf conference at cagayan de oro city.I am now a college student,and my course is public administration.can you explain political science?our instructor was not able to explain it to us well.
Sir,
i was an attendee of today’s seminar on culture of personal excellence at edsa shangri-la. on my own, i followed your advice, kind of (hehe), since i couldn’t run through my notes at the jeep and write, i just reviewed what i heard and learned on my mind this day. (but i wrote it down at home, i dont trust my memory) while on that, i am able to review my actions too and questioned myself if im having excellence in the things i’m supposed to do and the things i love to do. well, in truth (and probably my classmates won’t agree) sir, i am a lazy student, thou they might see me as an (average) achiever. i still think i’m not fulfilling my purpose in life. anyway, sir, thanks for being a catharsis in my life and for sharing with us the TRUE heroes of this wonderful and gifted nation. a grand thanks, and sir, as a Sebastinian, i want to declare YOU MAKE US PROUD. i hope we learn more from you and please continue to motivate us ‘surprise’ ourselves by becoming the excellent product God has ever made.
“Life’s work”. one of my fave book to read.
More power!
Hi Francis,
I am in the business of managing sales people for 15 years now. I was in the audience in one of your talks, I find you entertaining and your topic does not only touch on the skills application, but the attitude to take on the implementation and expectation.
may your business increase so you may touch more people who may need your services. you are a blessing to sales people who are starting and wanting to succeed in their selling career.
thank you.
Thank you Jake. You are very kind.
Sir Francis, since I heard you speak I’ve already idolized you.. I am copying your blogs and stories here and published it on facebook for my friends to read. I hope you won’t get angry on me.
I hope I could see you and hear you again. Thank you for your stories.
Hi Francis,
I got your book “Inspiring Excellence” Bite Size ideas… inspiring indeed!
Thank you so much.
I had a great time listening to your talk, definitely worth the travel.
It was the best seminar I attended.
Hi sir! this is hanna joy! yung ka facebook message nyo po.. Hehe.. More power! God bless..
Hello Mr. Kong,
I read some of your articles and enjoyed reading them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the rest of the world.
Hi Sir Francis,
Thanks for the “REINVENTION” session we had from you last January 15, 2010 in SMX Convention Center.
