I don’t know what is going on but it seems that organizations are racing against time to develop and grow their people. I said this because I have observed that there is a growing need for events that provides knowledge on how to develop people and talents.

If some say there is a glut they are totally wrong! I talked to one organizer and the demand is so high that he was forced to push thru with another event that is out of his calendar of events just to cater to the demands he is receiving.

At this point, I am only talking with big events like conferences. In fact this year, there are four big events happening to answer and provide knowledge on people management or human resource management.

If we go to public workshops and seminars there are a very large number of these happening every day, not to mention that some big companies that can afford to hold it in-house.

So what does this trend say to us? For one, we have a people problem that we need to address. Second, we are constantly searching on how to improve productivity in the workplace. Third, people are in a constant flux that we need to be abreast on their dynamics and prevent or prognosticate the best way to manage them and bring out their full potential.

It is hard to find eagles in our midst. If you found one do not ever let it go. If you are one, you need other eagles to sustain the heights that you have scaled or else the wind will knock you down.

This is the ordeal of being a leader, we always give to others but when it is our time to be filled we find it difficult to look for those that will fill us. As the saying goes, “you cannot give what you do not have”.

Luckily, there is an event happening this coming July 6, 2010 at Asian Institute of Managements. The event is “Reach Your Full Leadership Potential with Leadership Circles”. It is happening from 6pm to 9pm where you get share a seat with leaders like you and discuss leadership issues and how to go about it.

It is not a pedagogical exercise but a sort of sharing experiences coming from others is in a different industry. There will be creative fusion – this is a guarantee.

There are 7 reasons why you should be here:

1. Learn and share experiences from an intimate and interactive environment with members who have YOUR same interests!

2. You will gain fresh insights on leadership growth

3. You will be able to practice your mentoring and coaching skills

4. You will receive mentoring and coaching from other leaders as well

5. You can regularly reignite your excitement to lead

6. You can experience one-on-one executive coaching from the facilitator upon request (with a fee should it entail a longer discussion)

7. You need a circle of leaders that you can regularly connect with and get a third opinion on ideas

If you want to know details of this event, you may call tel # 643-3887.

Again, no man is an island and leadership is not an overnight endeavour but a continuing journey that can be enjoyable if you have other leaders to share your success, and learn from their success too

An exciting event is coming to town. An event that is focused on teaching future entrepreneurs on the workings of Global Trade.

Even though at this point in time export and import is battered by the economic crisis, there is no way but up as the requisites for normalization are being addressed.

In the Philippines, entrepreneurship is going strong. Despite the crisis, there are a lot of small business that sprouted all over the country. These small business have the potential to make an impact in the global arena.
