The City of Pasig held its first Women's Summit last Tuesday, March 21, 2017. Organized by the Pasigueña Organization for Women Empowerment and Recognition (POWER Foundation, Inc), the Bahay Kalinga ng Pasigueña, and the Gender and Development Office of the City of Pasig (Tanggapan para sa Pantay na Pagkakataon ng Tao), the said event gathered hundreds of members from different women's groups at the Pasig City Sports Complex.

Among the activities done inside the Summit are Livelihood Exhibits, Free Make-up, Free Massage, and Free Bone Scanning, aside from the valuable talks from resource speakers National Chairperson Ms. Elizabeth Angsioco of the Democratic Socialist Women of the Philippines, Chairperson of the National Implementation Team for Reproductive Health Bill Dr. Esperanza Cabral from the Department of Health, and Local Government Operations Officer IV Mr. Alvaro Fabon Jr. of the Department of Interior and Local Government - NCR that aim to empower the women in the city.

The main highlight of the Summit is to give recognition to the city's former mayor and now the head of the city's Gender and Development Office Maribel Andaya Eusebio as a champion of Gender and Development, as witnessed by her loved ones and the ones who have worked with her. During her term, Pasig City has been recognized as a child-friendly city and among the world's most livable cities, but prior to her position as Mayor, she has been with the POWER Foundation in the 1990's.

There are big companies, there are medium and small; but in this game called business, the ones who stick together the most are the ones who sustain themselves. What does this mean to you?

Having a committed, understanding top-level management means that everyone's in this together and nobody's taking things for granted: The top-level management meets with people willing to invest/collaborate with while the rest targets the rest of the potential markets, coordinating with each other.

As they say, "United we stand, divided we fall." Having a committed, dedicated top-level management that takes the plight of their staff will make an environment that is understanding, making everyone happy. You look at the best companies to apply to and most of them have their management as a model to look up to. Isn't that great? We hope your company has this too as well, so we can have a progressive workforce, who in turn creates a progressive economy.

On the other hand, if you think your sales company is not committed as it is - maybe you should tell them to get into the Sales Leadership Masterclass. Why so? We have International Sales Expert and Author Tom Abbott to teach in the business capital for the second time - a rare opportunity if we say so.

Major companies, hotels, and even a major drugstore chain will send its representatives here - why not you join them? Seats are running fast, so get on the phone and dial (+632) 643 3887 or 633-0153. Want a faster way? Shoot us an email at info@exlinkevents.com or send us a message on our Facebook page. Want an even faster way? SMS +63920 981 4376 or +63920 924 2532. 

Hello there, sales managers! Have you felt that your team is getting a bit slow lately? Have you seen their work environment? Have you looked into each individual and checked if they're happy with what they do? If the answers feel negative to you, it might be the ripe time to change your team's work culture.

Now, before you get excited to whip everything into shape, you need to consider:

1. The dedicated resources available. Make sure there's budget for this, as changing a culture is not easy, definitely. Your higher-ups might need more convincing than ever to extend a hand to your plan, but you have to stress to them that this will be for the good of the whole company.
2. The dedicated personnel who will help you to lead the change. Change comes from within, and with that, we mean it starts from you. The thing here is, one cannot influence his peers alone, so you will be needing dedicated personnel who have the influence to help everyone (yourself included) to make the change.

When all these two things are considered, it's time to do a plan on how things will happen, if it will start from the employees' environment or their own perspectives, etc. Remember that the point of changing the work culture is to change the atmosphere so that it can be easy for the staff to work there. Hope we help in changing your work culture!

International Sales Expert and Author Tom Abbott is sought by companies to help them build a work culture in their offices, to which Tom says they already have a work culture - it might be a good or a bad one though.
