This is what has been glued to my mind after a leadership seminar I attended at Victoria Station, Quezon City.

Leadership Seminars

What does it take to be a leader? How can I lead my team better? What do I have to do to unite my members? These and a lot more have been my concerns as I cruise my everyday task as an HR Manager of our machining company of 25 employees.

I am a graduate of Mass Communication and have been on numerous leadership workshops required by the school, but it’s a total different story when you’re on the actual situation of leading people. People with different attitude, family orientation, or religion. How do I get to tie them into a group that has one common goal for themselves and the company- that is to grow and progress! Oh, there’s still so much to learn!

Leadership 101: A Seminar on Pursuing Team Goals byΒ Go Up Events was right on time!

We all enjoyed the cozy room and the free coffee!

As Ms. Marie said, “If you are a leader, you don’t get up for yourself, you get up for your people.”Β Para kanino ka bumabangon, sabi nga ng NescafΓ©. πŸ˜€

Then, I will be ending my day examining:Β What did I do good? What could I have done better?

Honored to have been invited to this seminar. Never mind the wrong name on the certificate. πŸ˜€

The need for leadership is important not just in the workplace but any organization including public associations, government, and in our homes. People with leadership traits have the vision, courage, and the ability to move a team towards breaking new ground.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams

Being a leader is such a strenuous responsibility.Β So much to do and think about! It’s a lot of pressure to know that so many people are counting on you. This leadership seminar has enlightened me on my roles, my shoulds and shouldn’ts, and why I’ll Never Stop Learning.

Love,

Momma Nish
