Customer Relations and Management Training
January 28. 2022

“The most important thing I learned is that since were public servants, we need to extend our service not only to the needs that they require from us but also to other service that we can be of assistance. Malasakit to our stakeholders should be there at all times.”

Professional Business Presentation and Platform Skills with Persuasive Initiatives
February 27, 28, & March 2, 2023

“One of the best things I’ve learned (because there are many) is the characteristics of a good conveyor. First, I learned the difference between a communicator and conveyor. And as marketing professionals, we must practice to be a good conveyor.”

Professional Business Presentation and Platform Skills with Persuasive Initiatives
April 3 – 5, 2023

“To be prepared in every presentation – practice and rehearse. Even the good presentors (eg. Bo Sanchez) prepares very well before a presentation. Do not be complacent. Being nervous is normal but what matters is how you overcome your anxieties.”

Igniting Strategic Marketing Through Branch Business Intelligence and AnalyticS

“Discovered the meaning of intuition that validated my ways in arriving to important business decision.”

Igniting Strategic Marketing Through Branch Business Intelligence and AnalyticS
February 26-27, 2024

“Many lessons learned but in a nutshell, this program/immersion gave me a new perspective on the critical functions of a branch manager in the attainment of the bank’s goal. And it gave me also pointers on how to face the management goal of increasing the private clients of the branch/bank.”

Igniting Strategic Marketing Through Branch Business Intelligence and AnalyticS
March 18-19, 2024

“I learned how to appreciate my job more, to understand my client and to assess my potential target market. The workshop gave me something that I can start with especially in marketing for potential private clients. I love your examples very relatable and appropriate.”
