Only The Real Matters
₱ 300.00
"Here are stories of loyalty. Stories of friendship. Stories of persistence. Stories of attempts and endeavors, failure and success. Real stories of real people--their businesses, their treasures, their wealth, their heroes. People who, after putting a lid on their careers in order to define who they are, have discovered a deeper meaning to their lifework--work that has been transformed from an obsessive bondage to a source of tremendous fulfillment and joy."
Three Little Words
₱ 350.00
"Allow me to use the fascinating world and words of the English language in bringing you effective principles for work, business and living. For purposes of easy recall each principle will be presented with the titles of three words."
Being The Best
₱ 300.00
"This book is an easy read but a lot of hard work. Being the Best You Can Ever Be could be read through in one sitting, but to succeed in life and be the best you can ever be will require a predetermined will and a lot of back-breaking work."

Early Bird
₱ 300.00
"The early bird gets the worm..." but has it ever occurred to you that the early worm gets eaten. In line with this thinking, being the first may not necessarily be good, because the first mouse gets trapped, but the second one gets the cheese. What I'm trying to say is that life is a matter of perspective. It's not what happens to you; it's how you look at it and how you take it."
All that Matters
₱ 350.00
"There are many things that matter--the big things as well as the small things. But what matters most should matter now, and the big things we dream about would one day happen, but only when we sweat the small things and improve on it now."
52 Week Journal
₱ 450.00
"52 weeks of lesson reminders, stories, and personal reflections that we hope will help you write down the start of your milestones for your leadership process."

ASK!
When in doubt or unsure of what to do, ask. Never pretend to know what you do not. Sooner or later, pretense works against you. Do not be afraid to ask thoughtful questions. An inquisitive mind is not a sign of weakness; it is evidence of a vibrant, growing mind. Ask with humility. Ask with […]

BREAK THE ICE
MONDAY PHRASE: BREAK THE ICE To “break the ice” is to ease the tension of a first meeting and open the way to real conversation. The phrase appears in Latin through Italian humanist Filelfo, and reaches English through Thomas North’s 1579 translation of Plutarch. The picture behind it is not social at all; it is […]

Gratitude
SUNDAY MEDITATION GRATITUDE turns what we have into enough. It shifts our focus from what is missing to what is already present. When we feel stuck, let us begin counting our blessings, even the small ones: the air in our lungs, the roof over our heads, and the people who love us. We are richer […]

Crucial Conversations
What kind of conversations excite you? Excellent people talk about ideas. Good people talk about events.Average people talk about things. Small-minded people talk about other people. (anon) Ideas stretch the mind. Events inform the mind. Things occupy the mind. Gossip shrinks the mind. Choose your conversations carefully because they shape your thinking, your attitude, and […]

BOSSES NEED LEADERSHIP TRAINING
When a leader says, “This plan, the presentation or the proposal missed the mark,” it invites a rewrite, a conversation, a chance to improve.

Different wording. […]

Win The Outcome
Before you argue your side, make sure you can understand theirs. State their case so well that they would nod and say, “Yes, that is what I mean.” People do not usually change because you are louder. They become more open when they feel understood. Argue the problem, not the person. Get on the same […]

The Real People with Substance
Ever met hotshot officials, prima donna artists, or even speakers who throw their weight around as if the room should pause and salute? They refuse to fall in line like everybody else. They get offended when asked for an ID. They expect special treatment, faster service, and a little extra bowing from the universe. Do […]
