How Silence Influences, by Raju Mandhyan

There are many important and necessary strategies that one must learn and practice during negotiations or across all leadership conversations. None of them speak louder and stronger than SILENCE.

Traits of the RESILIENT, Philippines

I have been in the Philippines for nearly 4 decades of my
life. In these 40 years, I have seen Filipinos get beat down by fires,
typhoons, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and scores of floods. I have seen
them fight these disasters with all they got and then come out of them scathed
and unscathed but always smiling and celebrating life.

In fact at the individual level in this culture I have seen
them manage personal challenges the same way. In a family when an elder is at
his deathbed they do their utmost to keep him alive. They pray, they serve and
give it all they got and as and when the elder moves on they mourn for the
right time and soon begin to laugh, share funny stories, celebrate and move on.
This to me is unique and special.

So what makes up for the trait of resiliency in a culture and
an individual? My experience and studies tell me three things:

One, they acknowledge and accept that stuff happens. It happens to healthy, the wealthy and
even the happy. Resilient people are pragmatic about this. They drink both
sorrow and happiness from the same cup. They do not delve upon 'why me' but
accept the fact and ask 'why not me.’ They take the blows, fall, get up and
then go on.

Two, all resilient people stay focused on a higher purpose. They are dedicated and die hard
committed to whatever they are creating, building and sustaining in this world.
Their vision and their advocacy are like always pulling them forward. Their dedication
may be to a small business, a farm, a family, a large organization or a whole
nation. They stick to it. For many Filipinos their higher purpose is a higher
power and their faith.

Three, all resilient people keep on toiling towards the good in
life and invest their blood, sweat and tears into thinking, saying and doing productive things. The little and big
things that create value and measure. When faced with a crisis they do not go
and binge on Netflix and devour chips and beer. They get up and keep doing
something that will make themselves and others healthy, wealthy or happy.

These are tough times. Way tougher than all the sicknesses,
fires, earthquakes, typhoons and floods we have faced. This time the enemy is invisible,
vicious and fast. Yet, if we come together, combine our strengths and humanity
as one, we can squash this beast

Let me end by saying that when the night seems long, keep
your mind on the days ahead when there will be eternal and beautiful sunshine.

My name is Raju Mandhyan; I am a trainer and speaker based in
the Philippines.

On April 29, 2020 I am running a webinar of Resilience and
Rapid Business Recovery.

Stories Over Speeches, Five Reason Why

One Minute to Paalam / Adios!

Most all of us try to fill our daily calendars with as much activities and events we can in a given day. This drains and stresses us such our participation and performance in these events doesn't even meet our own standards. It doesn't bring out the best from us.

It would be best to lessen quantity and increase quality of our engagements and if you cannpt lessen quantities then here are two practices.

One Minute Arrive: Similar to Paalam

One Minute to Paalam: At the near end of every meeting as you are about to exit the door, stop. Stop, turn around and gently review the things you heard, you said and felt. Look at the people then find a quiet corner near the exit or a chair, sit down, close your eyes and just let the whole experience sink in. Then anchor you attention to you in breath and out breath for 60 seconds and do not think of anything else. Just mind your breath,

This will refresh you, make you more aware and consistently keep you in the here and now.

"The Subtleties of Authentic Influence -- Unleash Authenticity, Influence Excellence"

"The Subtleties of Authentic Influence -- Unleash Authenticity, Influence Excellence"

The world today has exploded into the virtual domain where people live half of their lives stuck to their smartphones and laptops; where social and business interactions do not just thrive but are being devoured into the digital space.  A part of us wants to ride these waves of disruption and then there is a part that yearns to stay real, intuitive, and humane.

How can we as the creators of this chaos and this future connect authentically with others, collaborate creatively and contribute through true compassion?  How do we influence to evolve into better individuals, communities, and a better world?

In this conversation, Mr. Mandhyan will usher you into an experience to elate you towards brighter horizons of leadership.

- Acquire true trust with all stakeholders and audiences authentically

- Engage with them at deeper levels of values and beliefs

- Generate a shared vision with grace, gravitas, and compassion through chaos and disruptions

Please check out the E-Invite above for more details. 

The SBEP Conversations, in partnership with 'Overmind', will replace our Kapihan and will be a regular alumni get-together.  You may bring a guest(s). 

Your SBEP Family is looking forward to seeing you on February 26!

Impermanence and Diligence in Business

It is not that all people and businesses are out there to cheat and dupe you. It is just that things change. Things are always in a flux. It is called impermanence of life. Time and circumstances take over people’s lives then their priorities and, sometimes, even their values take a hit

Tao po!

https://youtu.be/HsxDt6uMoa8

 “Tao po.” I know they mean to announce a visitor into your domain. I also know that it is rooted partly in superstition, necessitating the announcement that it is a person, a human being, and not a creepy creature at your doorstep. What I loved about it is that it was evidence of how beautiful and how gentle the Filipino culture is. “Tao po” translates for me as “please excuse me but, I, a human being, am at your door. I am very sorry to be disturbing your peace but could you possibly spare me a few moments of your precious time as I have a need that you might be able to fulfill.”

Yes, exactly that.

As a culture we are wary of intrusions, impositions, and like to let people be people. We seek permission for most everything. To many it may appear as timidity and shyness, but it is more than just that. It totally represents the kindness, the courtesy and the care and respect that we, here in the Philippines, hold for other human beings. It is our values lived out loud, constantly and unconsciously. It is just perfect and we ought to be proud of it. “Tao po” is a tiny peek into a vast landscape of how care, courtesy, and compassion silently thrive in these 7,107 islands.
