For our season finale, we are featuring the interview CBN Asia did to highlight the ministry of Lead Like Jesus in the Philippines. Peter Kairuz interviewed Rick Pickering, President of LLJ, as well as Boris Joaquin, lead for Southeast Asia and Frances Acu, lead for the Philippines. Take a listen to this inspiring conversation.
For servant leaders, “Lead Like Jesus” international president said success is counted sweetest by neither fortune nor fame, but how they made a positive impact in the lives of others.
As far as leadership philosophies go, “servant leadership” remains the best, and it is what the world needs right now, according to Rick Pickering, the current international president of the “Lead Like Jesus” (LLJ) movement, who is visiting the Philippines to spread the word about shaping “The Heart of a Leader.”
Pickering offered some of his leadership insights when he appeared on the most recent episode of “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin,” which was streamed live last October 31 on the official Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and CareerGuide.
Francisco “Paco” Magsaysay, the man behind Carmen’s Best ice cream, said entrepreneurs must be willing to put in the hours, and go the extra mile for their business to succeed.

Discover how to balance learning and performing to bolster personal and team success with this revolutionary guide from a world-renowned expert on growth mindset.
Aired last August 17, Tuesday 8pm on the FB pages of the Philippine Star, CareerGuide and Salt and Light Ventures, Boris Joaquin interviews Eduardo Briceño, a global keynote speaker, facilitator, and program provider who supports organizations in developing cultures of learning and high performance. His TED Talk, How to Get Better at the Things You Care About, and his prior TEDx Talk, The Power of Belief, have been viewed more than nine million times.
In his latest book, Performance Paradox, Edu shares that most successful individuals, teams, and organizations habituate the two zones — the Learning and Performance Zones). To improve or innovate, we can’t spend all our time doing things as best as we know how, trying to minimize mistakes. We have to also engage in the mental state and strategies to go beyond what we know. When we do these together, we’re Learning While Doing.
Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin interviews celebrity couple, Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, as they navigate the challenging road to a lifetime of togetherness. Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year and with grown and growing children to boot, how have Anthony and Maricel stayed together in a world where staying married seems to have become the exception rather than the rule?
This episode dubbed as "Couple Goals" aired last July 25 at 7 PM, on The Philippine Star FB page.
Now the managing director of Accenture, former actor Hans Montenegro shares his experiences navigating the corporate world.
Even with failure in the background, former actor turned human resources director Hans Montenegro believes that there is nothing wrong with leaving one’s comfort zone as doing so can even open up more career opportunities.
In an interview on “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin” livestreamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and CareerGuide on Thursday, May 4, Montenegro said that after all, people have full control of their career despite having a manager they report to and who would guide them.
In Montenegro’s case, his career was early on marked by several two-year stints mostly as a human resources executive. The first time he stayed for much long, based on his LinkedIn profile, was at Manulife where he worked for about seven years.
On this podcast, he explained this began in 2004, when a senior employee in a previous job told him that their human resources department should be more in tune with company business. Montenegro took this as a challenge, going out of his comfort zone, proceeding to learn more about the company’s business model at the time. Later on, he noted that this came from an innate desire for growth, aside from him being inspired to leave his comfort zone.
Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin celebrated International Women's Month last March 28. We interviewed 1999 Ms. Universe First Runner-Up, TV Host, Speaker, and Author, Miriam Quiambao-Roberto, in CELEBRATING WOMANHOOD live streamed on the Philippine Star. It's time to recognize the achievements that women have made, the roles that they have taken on, and reflect on the many struggles that they still face today – together, let's explore and appreciate the true essence of womanhood.
Parenthood has become increasingly challenging these days with all the different problems confronting the modern society. People who choose to become parents, therefore, must be ready to meet the standard of care that all children deserve.
Beauty queen and new mother Katarina Rodriguez described “positive parenting” as the principle of “showing love to your child even when you’re trying to discipline them,” which is something she learned as one of the celebrity ambassadors for Save the Children Philippines (SCP).
The 2018 Miss World Philippines titleholder talked about her positive parenting advocacy and life as a mother during her appearance on the seventh episode of “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin," which was streamed live on The Philippine STARand Career Guide official Facebook pages last Monday, Nov. 21.
“It's one thing to just donate…but then would you really be able to appreciate the effects of your little act if you don’t go through it further? 2022 Miss Universe Philippines Charity Pauline Amelinckx said. The holiday season is here and for those who seem to have already gotten tired of traditional gift-giving, 2022 Miss Universe Philippines Charity Pauline Amelinckx and Save the Children-Philippines (SCP) shared an idea that could make this act of kindness even more meaningful.
Appearing in the latest episode of “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin,” which was streamed live over The Philippine STAR and Career Guide Facebook pages last Dec. 6, Amelinckx talked about the concept of going “beyond charity” or getting people more actively involved in the process of helping others.
“It's one thing to just donate, for example, or give… Anyone would be able to do that at some point, but then would you really be able to appreciate the effects of your little act if you don’t go through it further, if you don’t see beyond what you offered or what you provided, for example?” she said. The recent discussion on this topic was a fitting celebration for the National Volunteers’ Month this December. Amelinckx and the Miss Universe Philippines organization have been working with Save the Children Philippines to raise awareness on its humanitarian missions that are made possible because of countless volunteers.
“Save the Children has really allowed for those avenues for us to be able to be more aware and for us to be able to also find our own ways of not just helping, or not just providing ways of help, but also be part of the process itself,” the Boholana beauty queen said.
Classes for school year 2022 to 2023 will start in August for most schools and universities while basic education schools are required to implement full face-to-face (F2F) classes by November 2.
The Department of Education acknowledged that the return of wide-scale F2F classes would present “new stressors and challenges.” In the next episode of Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin, we’re going to discuss how ready the schools are and even students to return to campuses. How can we provide psychosocial support during the first month of the school year?
Our guest is Paolo Laurel, AVP for School Operation, Lyceum of the Philippines.
This episode originally live streamed on the Facebook pages of Philippine Star and CareerGuide.
We are featuring Boris’ interview with BrandStart. In this 3rd cut, Leonard Grape (host of BrandStart) interviews Boris to reveal his secret in leading a team, the early days of his entrepreneurial journey and what made him a successful freelance training consultant. This is the longest part of his interview with BrandStart but there are so many gems in this conversation so take note and enjoy!

We are featuring Boris’ interview with BrandStart. Here, he shares his expert insights on leadership, productivity, and his inspiring entrepreneurial journey. Listen to this episode to learn the three C’s in building a sustainable brand.
Whether you’re a business leader, educator or an individual, your secret weapon to build a foundation to thrive in the human age is to high grade your Adaptability Quotient (AQ).
AQ is the measure of how skilled you are in making intentional change in an environment that is evolving at speed. According to the Harvard Business Review, it is the new competitive advantage. Every time I raise the opportunity AQ provides with business leaders their faces light up. Leaders are searching for the 'how' to skill a workforce in a future of unknowns, how do they fast track the talent that will drive a future-focused culture with innovation at its core?
A quick search of Google and you will discover social scientists and psychologists sharing their perspectives on why developing AQ is considered even more critical than EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) and IQ (Intelligence Quotient) in the current environment. Without AQ, EQ and IQ are like a two-legged stool, unstable, and likely to fall. In the near future, we will see AQ measures embedded and used as an indicator of future success in education and organisations.
Last May 26, President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced new appointments to his economic team –Benjamin Diokno as Department of Finance secretary, Alfredo Pascual to the Department of Trade and Industry, and Manuel Bonoan to the Department of Public Works and Highways – emphasizing his incoming administration’s focus on steering the economy out of slump.
Marcos said the first priority of his administration would be the economy, “that’s why we have been very, very careful in choosing the economic team.
Earlier, Arsenio Balisacan was tapped to return to his old job as economic planning secretary and head of National Economic Development Authority.
“I know the economic team is critical and that is what people are looking [forward] to. I think we have found the best people for it who are able to look forward and to anticipate what the conditions will be for the Philippines [and] the rest of the world in the coming years.” Marcos said.
While local business groups are giving an early thumbs up to the appointees, what is certain is the gravity of economic challenges ahead, even in the wake of a better-than-expected first-quarter gross domestic product growth.
We have invited outgoing NEDA secretary Karl Kendrick Chua to discuss what should be the top of the agenda to keep the Philippines’ post-COVID economic recovery on track.
In this transition episode, Boris just wanted his listeners to know that we apologize for being off air for the entire month of May. After the Philippine election, we had to recover from the anxieties and disappointments. We had to recalibrate. We are committed to our mission of producing breakthrough content whether on this podcast or thru our livestream show which will resume broadcasting next week.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Carrying cross is a lesson in sacrifice. Sacrifice does not require us to follow a mountain of unattainable, impossible-to-followable laws. Neither does it ask us to go into monasteries deep into mountains to live a life of solitude. Sacrifice is not those outwardly behavior. One can live an ascetic life in a monastery for decades, and yet still be too proud of himself. In this episode, let's talk about the cross we carry.
During the live streamed episode of “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin” last April 13, Wednesday, 7pm on the Facebook pages of The Philippine Star and Career Guide, you can get advice on how to build your dream while keeping your full-time job.
Boris Joaquin talks to Agora Awardee for Excellence in Entrepreneurship and accredited GoNegosyo Mentor for his work in Mercato Centrale, RJ Ledesma. Together, they will answer the questions: How do you become an effective entrepreneur given the time constraints that come with a day job? What mindsets do you need in self-employment?
The first episode of Season 8 falls on Holy Week and my favorite reflection on the Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ is the first words of His last hour — forgiveness. Who do you need to forgive? What is the first name that comes to mind? Unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness find their foothold quietly, secretly, sometimes even imperceptibly, in hearts. Pride and fear, two familiar enemies, flourish, and your relationship with God suffers, along with your relationships with others. Who do you need to forgive today so that God can forgive you?

During an episode of “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin” streamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and CareerGuide on Friday, March 25, Glenn Yu, Seaoil Philippines Inc. (SEAOIL) president, was asked what he could suggest to the government to address a possible oil crisis. For Glenn Yu, reducing dependence on foreign oil and the legislation of policies supporting electric vehicles would be the best way to help Filipinos as the Philippines continues to deal with increasing fuel prices.
Today March 29, I turn 49. One more year and I’ll enter the golden age. This day makes me reflect about my life and everything that I have been through.
What keeps me going when the road of life seems difficult and hard? What fills my thoughts when I am are discouraged? As Christians, we have learned that those who delight in God’s word, in God’s truth, and meditate on it, will find refreshment and nourishment for the long haul.
As I turn almost half a century old, I pray that I will always endeavor to turn my thoughts toward Him and His blessings because those who look to Him find life and strength to keep going.
May God shield my thoughts from discouragement and the temptation to abandon His path and turn to worldly ways of power and control. God has called me to lead, teach and serve others, following Jesus’ example, even when it is hard.
I want to be found walking in God’s way everyday.
In an interview over “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin,” livestreamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and Career Guide, former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno said that Filipinos should elect a “servant leader, nothing less” in the upcoming May elections, and that the public should fight against fake news and being stereotyped for preferring a particular candidate. “There is no lesser evil for us, only the best servant leader for us. At ayaw na namin ng stereotyping, ayaw na namin ng fake news, ang gusto namin [ay] honest to goodness servant leaders, (We do not want stereotyping, we do not want fake news, what we want is honest to goodness servant leaders),” she stressed. Sereno advised the public to discern carefully the next set of leaders they will vote for by looking at their track record and must not simply be fooled by marketing strategies.
Former chief justice Maria Lourdes Sereno urged Filipinos to speak their minds and push back against what they think is not right so that servant leaders, and not the self-serving ones, would be elected this coming May. During an interview over “Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin,” livestreamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and Career Guide last May 9, Sereno said Filipinos should elect a “servant leader, nothing less” in the upcoming May elections, and that the public should fight against fake news and being stereotyped for preferring a particular candidate.
Listen and learn from the former top magistrate about how the Bible and the Philippine constitution define servant leadership and mandate us to choose only servant leaders. This part one of the whole episode.
The national elections are just around the corner. Proclamation rallies and sorties are happening left and right with the candidates’ political maneuvers. Looking at where our country has been requires us to be discerning.
One of the most influential leadership experts of our time is Ken Blanchard. He co-founded a movement called Lead Like Jesus, where I serve as regional representative for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. When we first ran Lead Like Jesus in the Philippines, I honestly thought it would not work because of its spiritual underpinnings. But more and more companies are coming to realize that the nature and quality of one’s leadership is not just a matter of experience, education or people skills, but is essentially character-based, founded on such values as stewardship, responsibility, and accountability. It has almost been two decades, and we’re still running the program in the corporate world.
All those years of teaching servant leadership have challenged my standards as I think about my own personal leadership, about how to develop other organizational leaders, and about my own choices for our next set of national leaders.
In electing the next leaders of our nation, it is crucial to ask, “Are you choosing servant leaders or self-serving leaders?” In this episode, let me share with you some pointers on what a servant leader is like.
What can we learn from the leadership example of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky? When was elected President of Ukraine in 2019, a lot of people thought it was a joke. Zelensky was an actor and comedian with no political experience. He had come to national prominence as the producer and star of hit satirical television series Servant of the People, playing an ordinary high school teacher who accidentally becomes Ukrainian president after a video of him condemning government corruption goes viral. Zelensky also set up his grassroots party called Servant of the People. Despite his landslide election win, his critics still see him as a political punchline. But no one’s laughing now.
"It is important to consider the well-being of employees, especially when it comes to transitioning them to a hybrid working setup." Webster said in the pilot episode of “Breakthrough With Boris Joaquin” last Feb. 9, live streamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and Career Guide. “We don’t just look at the job, we don’t just say ‘That job can work a hundred percent from home, that job can’t.’ We [should] actually look at the people doing the job at least as much as the job itself and their well-being,” she explained. Employees should also adopt new skills when it comes to the new normal set up of working, such as technology skills, Webster pointed out. “Whatever age we are... I don’t believe in the saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. We need to get onboard with connectivity, and be able to use the technology to collaborate,” she said, adding that people need to put in “extra effort” when it comes to collaboration with employees and managers. “We need both employers and employees to strike this medium... we need to strike this happy medium so that we don’t insist on one thing all the time, because we need to compromise. We need flexibility and we need some consistency as well,” she stressed.
Is it possible for the hybrid work arrangement to become a standard practice even after the COVID-19 pandemic?
For Investors in People in the Philippines chairperson Janet Webster, it does, saying that many companies that were reluctant to implement it at first are now open to continuing it. This is part 1 of the interview with Janet Webster during the pilot episode of “Breakthrough With Boris Joaquin” on Wednesday, Feb. 9, livestreamed on the Facebook pages of The Philippine STAR and Career Guide.
Based on a study conducted by Investors in People in the Philippines, 91.7 percent of people surveyed believe hybrid working will benefit their respective organizations in the long term, while 8.2 percent said otherwise. Meanwhile, 37.5 percent of respondents said their productivity improved during the hybrid setup during the pandemic, and 50 percent answered that their productivity remained the same as pre-pandemic levels. The remaining 12.5 percent stated that their productivity in the hybrid work setup slowed down.
Janet said, “I think we’re on the brink of hybrid working now…So I think we’ve got an opportunity. People can see a hundred percent in the office [set-up] work, a hundred percent work-from-home work, why can’t we merge the two and make something even better?”
This is a special episode. And normally special episodes interrupt the sequence of our planned episode to discuss a current or political event. In light of recent events, particularly the latest Pulse Asia survey for presidential race that shows vice president Leni Robredo at far second. We invited again AR Angcos, we had him during the discussion on PNoy's Legacy and VP Leni's Fight Chance, to share his analysis on VP Leni's winning chance.
VP Leni's numbers were worst in 2016 and yet she won. Let's see history repeat itself. I like how Solita Monsod said in it her opinion column last year as she predicted that VP Leni will win, "I see hundreds of thousands of volunteers either just waiting to be asked or doing things on their own, contributing of their time, talents, and treasure to see the candidate of their choice win, at the ground level. They are going head to head against the moneyed political dynastic class and the big business that supports them (for a quid pro quo)… I see that this is happening, with great spontaneity, only in Leni’s case. And that is why she will win. The other candidates, with their questionable values and financing, don’t stand a chance against her."
What is a hybrid work environment? What is the difference between it and the traditional work model? Most say that any departure from the traditional work model comprises hybrid work, an arrangement that provides some flexibility on where, how and when work is completed. There is really no exact form as it can come in different variations. Some businesses might require employees to work in the office twice a week or only when required by a client. It might be in the form of requiring groups of employees to work in the office during a particular week while the rest work from home on an alternating basis. Hybrid working is becoming the norm. By April 2021, several Philippine firms have been transitioning to some kind of hybrid arrangement which includes a combination of days when employees work from home and days when they have to report to the office. This is the central model, especially for companies with knowledge workers. Most HR practitioners I know personally are in favor of such arrangement. But how is it working so far? How are the teams doing in terms of output and productivity? How is it affecting company culture?

Getting COVID and being isolated for 15 days taught me the valuable lesson of community. People responded to my family's needs like we're next door neighbors in a small village. Especially during disruptive times, it's very important to appreciate your community, whether its the church, your workplace or circle of friends and learn how to navigate through change with them. In this podcast episode aside from giving you an update where we are, let me share 4 points in staying connected in the midst of change.
First of all, let me express my sincerest gratitude to all my online friends and subscribers who reached out and even helped out. Thank you very much. We appreciate your help and concern. But most especially we appreciate your prayers. This is a short episode because I want to give you another update within the week, so episode 9 will be released earlier than the usual weekly Tuesdays. So until then...
We never thought we'll get it. We were very careful as a family. We practically just stay at home all the time. But perhaps during the holidays or because Omicron is just an easily transferrable variant of the virus. Our two daughters were the ones who are positive. And you know as parents, it's really hard to see you children to be the ones at risk. Let me share with you briefly what are going through right now. The early days of our quarantine and self isolation. We appreciate your prayers. And we trust that God will heal and protect us from this.
We live in a productivity-driven society where trying to balance work and family life is one of the most common sources of stress for any working adult. Often, people are unable to find a point of balance between their businesses or careers and their families - and one is given more priority than the other. This leads to a number of dysfunctional outcomes: mainly strained familial relationships, and eventually, inefficiency at work, as well as poor physical and mental health.
The start of the new year is an opportunity for a new beginning - to gain new perspective on this balancing act, and to think through how to adequately fulfill your roles both at home and at the workplace. Allow me to give you three crucial steps to ignite that new beginning in your life.
At the start of the new year, take this opportune time to find clarity. What are you living for? Here are some practical steps to get you started in discovering your purpose and forming your purpose statement.
Globally, this pandemic has turned our world upside down – disrupting our lives physically, socially, mentally, and financially. These have been trying times for everyone – none excluded. Hope has become a challenge, especially when you feel helpless, as if there is nothing you can do. Let me share what has gotten me through these trying times – that is, finding purpose.

Given the current circumstances, a positive disposition is kind of a tall order. Every day will test you in every way, and some days you might feel as if the world is conspiring against your vision. But as leaders, it is in your hands to keep your team in check, cultivate a healthy organizational culture, and have the resolve to keep a strong mindset, even if things don't always go the way you hope they would. When things go wrong, it is your job not to cave and instead offer your team positivity. Positive leadership is a powerful tool that can help your team overcome tough challenges, both at work and in life. It's a seed that sprouts a healthier and happier dynamic among co-workers, and it's foundational to a connected and committed team that delivers impact and results for your business. Join management corporate trainer and Breakthrough Leadership CEO Boris Joaquin as he sits down with bestselling author Jon Gordon on the power of positive leadership. Gordon is a worldwide bestseller, with books such as The Energy Bus, The Power of Positive Leadership, and The Power of a Positive Team. Together, they will share insights on how to build great teams, from principles to practical tools that help teams overcome negativity and build a better culture, communication, and connection.
Apart from the productivity and flexibility gains that come with this approach, hybrid work gives companies a compelling reason to take team communications and employee engagement seriously. To this end, managers and leaders should consider high-level coaching to help build a workplace where employees feel motivated and equipped to do their best work. Last September 22, 4 pm, Boris Joaquin talked to three professional coaches in a roundtable discussion on the impact of coaching in the new workplace. Joaquin will moderate a discussion with the following renowned coaching leaders:
Josie Thomson – transformational leadership coach and STEVIE Awards “Maverick of the Year” winner Saurav Atri – Gallup Asia Pacific’s Leadership Coach and Workplace Consultant Brian Quebengco – Gallup Global Certified Strengths Coach and ACE Certified Coach, and Founder of The Coaching Manager
Together, they will lay out a blueprint for leading into the future of work by building a culture of agility, innovation, and resilience, especially during uncertain times.

In leading any group, not just Gen Y and Z, it is important to have the right mindset. Listen to Boris Joaquin, acclaimed leadership consultant, speaker and trainer give you three critical elements of your leadership mindset
Boris Joaquin interviews the founders of Lead Like Jesus. Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges have found a leadership model that can transform your life. Through the simple yet profound principles Jesus lived by—and the dozens of leadership examples from his life—learning to lead like Jesus will make a difference in your life and in the lives you influence. The process of discovering how to lead like Jesus is aligning two internal domains—the heart and the head—and two external domains—the hands and the habits. "The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time." — Ken Blanchard
What does customer centricity mean to you? For us, it's being customer L.E.D — Listening to your customers, echoing what they truly need and designing interventions together. Pre-pandemic, face-to-face and tangible experience is crucial. But how do we manage that with the new wave of digitalization happening around us?

Interviewing renowned influential leadership expert Dr. Ken Blanchard last August 4 during our Rappler Hustle webinar left me reflecting on my own leadership. As he talked about his life, books and leadership journey, I challenged my own standards when developing other organizational leaders and in my daily choices as I lead and manage other people in. According to Ken, situational leadership is something you don't do to people; you do it with them. You want to teach them the model, have them with you in analyzing their development, their goals, and determine the appropriate leadership style. Situational leaders think in terms of "we," not "me." Take a listen in this substantial audio recording and draw your own key takeaways about leadership from that conversation.
Season 5 will be epic! Sharing with you the stuff that will be happening in the next ten episodes. We'll kick it off with a one-on-one interview with Ken Blanchard. Episode 3 will bring back Ken and joined by Phil Hodges. We'll have two global coaching experts. We'll talk about customer centricity and how is it relevant today. Plus many more.
Boris Joaquin gives a sneak peak at the much awaited interview with Dr. Ken Blanchard which will be aired in Rappler on Wednesday, August 4, 6pm. Counted among the most influential and compassionate leadership and management experts in the world today, Dr. Blanchard is respected for his lifetime of groundbreaking research and thought leadership, especially in the day-to-day management of people and companies. He co-authored more than 65 books including the iconic bestseller The One Minute Manager, together with other groundbreaking works such as Raving Fans and Leading at a Higher Level, to name a few. He has sold over 23 million copies of these books in 47 languages. In 2005 Blanchard was inducted into Amazon’s Hall of Fame as one of the top 25 bestselling authors of all time.
Dr. Blanchard is the co-founder of Lead Like Jesus, a worldwide servant leadership ministry. He is also the co-founder and Chief Spiritual Officer of The Ken Blanchard Companies, an international management training and consulting firm that he and his wife, Margie Blanchard, began in 1979 in San Diego, California.
This me, being candid on episode 9. It has been a toxic week and I got bummed by what happened last episode. Promotions didn't go well. But this is me just being candid on how I felt but pressing on. Will end this season with a bang. Also shared what's in store for season 5.
Why the most qualified presidential bet doesn't have the numbers? Quoting from the Rappler article (July 16 2021 by Mara Cepeda, Vice President Leni Robredo's principles make her a good public servant, but her refusal to play the dirty game of politics could kill her potential bid for Malacañang. In this episode, we discuss why and analyze current as well as future political climate. But we also talked about what we can do. How can we unite the Filipino people towards electing and upholding a truly servant leading government. We invited again AR Angcos, the only one featured in this podcast twice, after our episode on PNoy's Legacy was well received. Take a listen to our discussion.
Used to host an online show called Top Brass under WorkWise Asia. It's now shelved by the producers. But there are episodes there that is worth listening to… like when we sat down with Human Nature's President and Co-Founder, Anna Meloto-Wilk. Listen as she shares her industry insights, business experiences, and what makes Human Nature special.
Take a listen to this episode where I interviewed three industry leaders as they talk about how they coped, their best practices, and what to them will be the new rules for the next normal.
- Yani Hornilla Donato – Country Manager for Canva in the Philippines. Canva is an online design and publishing tool which makes graphic design simple for everyone. Since launching in 2013, Canva has grown to over 20 million users across 190 countries.
- George Royeca – Chief Transport Advocate of Angkas, the country’s No. 1 app-based motorcycle ride-hailing service with over 4 million downloads and 30,000 biker-partners.

Decided to dedicate this episode to the late President Benigno "NoyNoy" Aguino III (1960 - 2021). In 6 years of your service to the Filipino people, our lives were enriched and the economy of the country prospered. And this is due to your faithful and effective leadership. It is our hope that your leadership legacy will serve as an inspiration to the current and next generation of leaders of our nation — to serve the country wholeheartedly with honor, dignity and decency. Rest in Peace, PNoy. You are truly one of the best servant leaders of this nation.
As guest in this conversation, I have invited AR Angcos, former project officer under the presidential office (2013-2015) to share his first hand experience under the Aquino administration.

This is just Part 1. On episode 6, all three will join me in a roundtable discussion.
Forces of change are affecting three major dimensions of work: the work itself, who does the work, and where work is done. To create value from these changes, organizations should take a broader perspective.
THE future of work: What does this term really mean? To understand what’s going on and, more importantly, what we can do about it, it’s important to consider multiple converging trends and how they are already fundamentally changing all aspects of work—with implications for individuals, businesses, and society. We define the future of work as a result of many forces of change affecting three deeply connected dimensions of an organization: work (the what), the workforce (the who), and the workplace (the where)
Got busy and to be honest, I needed two weeks off from other stuff. But I had several commitments to fulfill so I can't stop that but for podcasting and other stuff, I had to push the pause button for awhile. Also, to get my act together. So what's the resolve….
First, will do more organic and natural episodes starting this season. I will have more candid, unedited conversations with you. You will get life transforming advices still on life, work, your purpose and being proactive but less scripted and more on-the-spot type of insights. Btw, thank you to those who messaged me their suggestions for topics and subjects to discuss. Will schedule them each for this season.
Second, will still do the interviews. To begin with, have lots of materials coming from my live stream all together. Have a few surprises this coming months. You'll enjoy the guests that I'll have in the show.
Third, in this episode, shared my 3Cs to success which I am pretty sure is not only applicable to freelancing consultant and corporate educator like me. So listen up. Enjoy. Today is a new day. Welcome to Season 4.

With employee engagement in the Philippines at a low 29% according to a Gallup study, with many companies experiencing high turnovers, unsatisfied workers, and poor client service, many managers and business leaders are exploring the ways by which an employee's engagement to the company can increase. Boris Joaquin, said in his book, "Practical Wisdom to be Happy at Work", that in order for organizations to increase their level of productivity and commitment, they need to apply the strategies of mission and membership. Research shows that employees who are purpose-driven and loyal are: Four times more likely to be engaged at work and 50% more likely to be a leader and have 64% higher level of career satisfaction. Earn a higher income and have a higher net worth Enjoy 42% more contentment overall and live up to 7 years longer. A clear sense of mission and belongingness effectively engage employees. Engaged employees are happy at work. They perform better, with higher client satisfaction ratings as well as productivity and profitability levels. These, in turn, lead to more success for the company. For two decades now, our team have been providing learning and development interventions that are values driven and proven effective.
We sit down with Carlo Mata, the Managing Director of White & Case Global Operations Center Manila, as he discusses communication across the generations, respect, and diversity in the workplace on this episode of Breakthrough with Boris Joaquin
In this episode, Boris Joaquin had a short but substantial conversation with the Gerry Plana, chief executive for Investors in People here in the Philippines. Gerry shares the standard from Investors in People which emphasizes that leadership is imperative in building high performing organizations. He also shares wisdom to people who are victims of bad leadership.
Since we have been talking about mentoring this season, we cannot avoid and compare it with "coaching". To enlighten us further on what coaching is, we have invited Dr. James Huculak, originally from Canada, but has worked in the Philippines in the area of leadership development for over 40 years. He has been a faculty member at the International Graduate School of Leadership (IGSL) for 30 years, where he teaches leadership coaching. He has been involved in non-directive coaching for over 10 years and has coached leaders from more than 20 different countries. He has an “Associate Certified Coach” certification with the International Coaching Federation.
A good mentor can bridge between individual and organizational needs. A good mentoring program can help employees reach their full potential by pointing out intrinsic rewards—the feeling of doing meaningful work that is connected to their own personal and professional development. In this episode, Boris Joaquin talks to Brain Quebengco, People Strategy Head of QuadX to talk about his mentoring, and even coaching, strategies applied in organizations. Mentoring benefits an organization by improving job satisfaction and retention, and aids in the personal and professional development of the mentee. Moreover, mentors themselves seem to gain just as much.
More often than not, mentoring and coaching are used interchangeably in any conversation context -- business, church or even in parenting. For many organizations, a more senior executive or employee is requested to be a mentor and eventually expected to undertake coaching responsibilities as well. But despite what most people might think, there is a big difference between a mentor and a coach. So what's the difference? If you are wondering how these two roles differ and what a mentor and coach can bring to the table, you need to listen to Boris Joaquin as he shares with you what he normally talks about in his keynotes and workshops.
What is Mentoring? Mentoring is sharing knowledge, skills and life experience to guide another towards reaching their full potential; it’s a journey of shared discovery. In this podcast episode delivered in Taglish, Boris Joaquin defines mentoring and how to effectively build a mentoring relationship with other people. Mentoring can make a profound difference to the lives of mentees, and in turn strengthen our communities, economy and country. If you’re interested in learning more about the positive impact of mentoring, please connect with us at boris@projectpurpose.ph
Most people find themselves in any of these three areas: survival, success, or significance. If you’re like many people, you may be struggling just to keep your head above water. You’re in survival mode. Whether because of circumstances, setbacks, or poor choices, you have to put a tremendous amount of effort into just making it day to day. Very few reach the point of success. But what is success? And once you’ve gotten to a place of stability, then what? What will you live for? Will you serve yourself or others? Will you put all of your energy into success, in trying to get farther ahead than others? Or will you work toward significance? Will you try to make a difference by helping others get ahead?
Just how do you express your love to others? Or how would you like love expressed to you? For sure it’s done in more languages than one, what with our individual differences! Some of us do it or want it done through words of affirmation. Some through acts of service. Others through receiving gifts. Others through spending quality time. Still others through physical touch. Or maybe a combination of all these? And since February is the love month, Boris Joaquin was invited to be part of a series to talk about the topic, “The Five Languages of Love.” He was focused on the Acts of Service and how do we learn to love, stay committed to our loved one. Then he mentioned about the Love Triangle. Find out why...
This episode concludes part 2 of the Project Purpose teaching series. Allow Boris and Michelle Joaquin help you set your goals at a transition point or at the start of a new period in your life. Your vision is defined by your sense of purpose. Your vision is your destination, where you are going is defined by your purpose. If you lived according to your purpose, what would happen? What difference would you make in the world? Here, you'll learn about making your own vision board, a visualization tool which refers to a board of any sort used to build a collage of words and pictures that represent your goals and dreams. Any drive we may have toward any dream or ambition towards fame, fortune, cause or success will ultimately lose steam in us unless our short and fleeting live are anchored on something more lasting. So make sure you are anchored on God, your primary calling is found in Him. And He will secure your secondary purpose well in your life.
In this journey called life, do you know where you are going? Most people think they do, but they are going in circles. A recent study among the young Filipino reveals that 7 out of 10 Filipinos do not have a dream. Let us tell you why and teach you how to find your WHY.
This Project Purpose part 1 episode features 4 segments of less than 3 minutes each. (1) Introduction to project purpose; (2) discover how God may have designed you in pursuing your purpose; (3) draft your life map, a series of words or symbols that represent important things, events or achievements in your life. This helps you in reflecting on your past experiences and give you a picture who you are today or who you can be; and (4) know your Purpose Point. It is that sweet spot that overlaps with your passion. These are what you love to do, what are you good at and what would pay you, provide for you or simply put, your profession. Hopefully this is something that impacts the world.
In this episode, Boris Joaquin interviews his Rappler editor, Tristan Zinampan. With the second wave of COVID-19 upon us now, we know we will be heading into another unpredictable year, but instead of starting off the new year with unease, it’s time we remind ourselves of our entrepreneurial spirits, how we managed personally and professionally by remembering why we love what we do and adjusting our perspectives.

In order to be successful in your goal-setting this year, there are 3 questions you need to answer: what should I stop doing? What should I start doing? What should I continue doing? As simple as these sound, they're a reliable set of questions that can become habits of mind, a way to pause and reflect before engaging in an activity or pursuing something new. In today's episode, Boris Joaquin interviews top executive trainer and management consultant Anthony Pangilinan as he shares what you can prioritize and optimize when it comes to achieving your career or life goals this year.

Boris Joaquin's first media interview for the year happened during the first day of the year as well. 702 DZAS of the Far East Broadcasting Corporation (FEBC) featured Boris in their New Year's Special entitled "Bagong Araw". The entire interview was done in Tagalog but Boris was answering in both Tagalog and English. Enjoy listening to his advice on how to face 2021 with foresight and flexibility.
2020 needs a rest. Reset life in 2021. But how can we cultivate attitudes and practices to stay focused and yet be flexible?
With a redefined future, it became clear that we and our business need a re-vision and a reset, not only due to the pandemic, but also because sociological and technological disruptions demand it.
To paraphrase the bumper sticker, “stuff happen”. We cannot avoid the stuff of life, but we can change the way we respond to it. We all know people and friends who have become burned out or are rusting. On the other hand, we also know visionary leaders who remain on purpose, self-reliant, resourceful. Thriving, not just surviving.
Here are five powerful ways to re-vision and reset your 2021.

We have been featuring breakthrough moments in the life and leadership of trailblazing individuals here and around the globe but for this episode, we are featuring Ysobel Joaquin, Boris' daughter, an aspiring songwriter, singer and artist to talk about her latest single "Christmas Again." Writing the song captured a breakthrough moment in Ysobel heart.
"Christmas Again" is a song that embraces the realities of our current situation. With close to none festivities or cheer this Christmas, how can we say that it's Christmas again? Ysobel explores the idea of joy that does not depend on circumstance, and instead looks to the goodness of the gift that was given to us 2000 years ago: Jesus Christ.
A very large part of coaching is raising awareness so that the coachee perceives discrepancies in what they are saying and choices that they didn’t know they had. The coach can build a bridge between internal and external experience of happiness and the way we elect to be happy on a daily basis.
When coaching a person, the energy is inwards. Clients or coachees have the opportunity to connect with their inner wisdom and connect the pieces to discover the next steps.
To describe this coaching process, Boris Joaquin talks to world-renowned business educator and coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a leading expert in his field. His singular ability to get results for top leaders has drawn over 150 CEOs and their management teams to address change in the workplace.

ON SERVANT LEADERSHIP: LEADING YOUR PEOPLE THROUGH DISRUPTIVE TIMES
During disruptive times, people value direct, genuine interaction and communication from leaders. This not only helps to show that leaders are remaining committed to the people in the organization but also offers an opportunity for them to step out of the “tower” and build relationships with employees.
According to a recent Harvard Business Review article, an inflated ego is the enemy of good leadership. And if you’ve ever interacted with someone who has an inflated ego—be it at work, home or in friendships—you know its destructive power.
Unless we lead and influence from a God-grounded sense of self-importance and self-esteem, our inflated ego will surely diminish our influence and sabotage not only our work but the work of those entrusted to our care.
In today's episode, we are honored to have Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan. After winning in the 2016 senatorial elections, Pangilinan continued his advocacy in agriculture. His most recent law was RA 11321 or the Sagip Saka Act, which he principally authored and principally sponsored in the Senate. Sagip Saka aims increase farmers' income by empowering them and connecting them to the market.
The Philippines being an agricultural country possess a vast array of natural resources. However, the country’s agriculture sector is beset with perennial challenges resulting to low incomes in farming, low rural employment, lack of food security, and weak agricultural competitiveness. In particular, some, if not most of the next generation of farmers, have abandoned or made a decline in their interest to invest in agriculture. Because of this, we would like to delve the issue further and bring insights, solutions and recommendations on the issues and challenges faced by the fisheries and agriculture sector.
This interview was originally intended for the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) through its online program dubbed as “People Manager Magazine Presents” where Boris serves as Editor-in-Chief.

While some may argue that distance makes the heart grow fonder when in love, it's not as easy to say the same thing when it comes to one's career.
As economies restart and we continue to do our jobs, even amid a pandemic, it has become clear that to continue thriving, we have to make do with working remotely. The struggle of keeping connected is a natural part of this shift.
One way for us to adjust is by working on our communication skills.
