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.

Save the Children Philippines' eSave Natin ang Pasko is an online fundraising campaign that encourages everyone to unite in saving the Christmas spirit through a series of joyous and meaningful activities to provide joy and hope to children.

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

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.
