"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.
