    • S3 E7: Productivity vs Commitment
      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.

    • S3 E3: "Mentoring in Organizations" with Brian Quebengco

      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.

    • S3 E2: Mentoring vs Coaching
      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.

    • S2 E10: From Survival To Significance

      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?

    • S2 E9: Love Triangle
      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.
