ONE key benefit of attending webinars, which I do as part of my work as volunteer CEO of the Philippine Council of Associations and Association Executives (PCAAE), is that you always learn something new.
UNDER its “Board and Executive Leadership” monthly learning series, the Philippine Council of Associations and Association Executives (PCAAE) recently held a webinar on “Leadership Elevated: Transforming Managers into Visionary Leaders,” conducted by Dr. Celia Chomón Zamora, CAE and director of the Professional Learning and Certification for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

STRATEGIC board engagement goes beyond attending meetings and approving decisions. It also involves active participation, thoughtful deliberation, and a deep commitment to advancing the association’s mission.
COACHING, whether in sports, professional development or personal growth, is often subject to various misconceptions. Among the common ones are that coaching is a quick fix, about giving advice, mentoring, counseling, consulting, only for executives or top performers, expensive, and exclusive.
NEVER has there been a time when the work of an association executive has become more complex and challenging than it is now. In today’s rapidly evolving world, it is imperative for association leaders to dig deeper into an arsenal of resources to cope with these changes.
THE Philippine Council of Associations and Association Executives (PCAAE) recently kicked off its first webinar this year, “Revenue Generation and Diversification for Associations.” The presenter was Deanna Varga, CEO and founder of Australia-based Mayvin Global and an adjunct associate professor at the University of Technology of Sydney. Varga’s presentation was based on her white paper, “Diversifying Revenue: An Association’s Guide to Kick Start Commercial Thinking.”
DRAWING to a close my three February posts on love, I thought of using it as an acronym to signify four key aspects of enhancing the quality of relationships in associations and paving the way for them to sustained growth, adaptability, and resilience.
HAPPY Valentine’s Day! Continuing with “love” as a theme for this month’s post, I’m reminded of the Beatles’s 1967 hit song, “All You Need is Love,” which conveys a simple but profound message that emphasizes the importance of love in life.
HAPPY Chinese New Year! According to the Chinese zodiac, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. While the characteristics of a dragon vary across different traditions, there are common elements often associated with these mythical creatures, such as having a reptilian appearance, wings, multiple heads, and the fire-breathing ability.
FEBRUARY is considered the “Love Month.” But it should not only be about Valentine’s Day and sweethearts, but also about fostering relationships with family and friends, as well as loving others.
ONCE my 5-year-old granddaughter was scaling up the iron grill divider in our living room as if she was rock climbing. I told her not to go so high as she may slip and fall down, to which she countered, “If I don’t try it, I’ll never know what’ll happen.”
AS I was looking for materials to start the new year, I thought I’d revisit the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost.
OUR family recently hosted a couple from abroad in our hometown in Liliw, Laguna, about 100 kilometers south of Manila. It was their first visit to the Philippines so it was an opportunity for them to see the countryside during the two-hour road trip.
HAPPY New Year! As we usher in 2024, the phrase “feed your focus” seems like a timely theme for this post. I thought this could be useful for associations to start the new year.
MERRY Christmas! In this time of merriment, I thought I’d post something lighthearted.
WHEN I first heard the phrase “noses in, fingers out,” I got excited to learn more. This term has something to do with the relationship of the board and the CEO in the context of governance, so I researched a bit further.
HAVE you ever encountered some semblance of the “founder’s syndrome” in your work as an association executive? Actually, you won’t be able to sense it manifesting itself until you’re in specific situations in making operational decisions.
I oftentimes hear the term “buy-in” during strategic planning sessions and decision-making situations, so I looked into it with greater interest.
DURING conversations on key association resources, I often hear the term “social capital,” so I did some research on how it relates to associations.
I have always been fascinated by the work of a farmer. Growing up in a farming community, I have admired the work and dedication of those tilling the land despite the many challenges they face: climate change, capital, market access, infrastructure and technology.
I have a knack for picking up idiomatic expressions and colloquial phrases and relating these to associations. One phrase I have encountered lately is “don’t chase, attract.”
ASSOCIATIONS have long touched our lives and have been an integral part of human society for centuries, providing a platform for like-minded individuals to bond together, collaborate and work towards common goals and aspirations.
ACHIEVING success in the realm of associations goes beyond strategic planning and efficient operations. It extends to the well-being of the individuals in the association.
MY interest was piqued by an article “Is Purpose Running Us into the Ground?” by bestselling author and consultant Daniel Goleman on the Korn Ferry Institute website. He cites the field of positive psychology, a discipline that focuses on what causes human beings to flourish and the related work of Dr. Martin Seligman, director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, considered the founder of positive psychology.
THE phrase “new kid on the block” is an idiomatic expression used to refer to someone or something new, has recently arrived in a particular place or in a situation described as being inexperienced or unfamiliar with the surroundings.
WHEN Ben Ampil, a Filipino neuroscience coach, told me he will conduct a neuroscience webinar for my organization, the Philippine Council of Associations and Association Executives (PCAAE), I was taken aback. Why will associations and association leaders be interested in neuroscience? I accepted his offer with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised of the webinar content and praise from the attendees.
SINCE I came from a banking background, I am familiar with the acronym KYC or “Know Your Customer.” It is a universal regulatory and due diligence process that financial institutions, such as banks, credit unions, insurance and other financial service providers, follow to identify and vet their customers. The primary goal of the KYC policy is to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other financial crimes. It requires banks to establish a comprehensive understanding of their customers’ identity, financial activities and risk profiles.
A sounding board can have a literal and a metaphorical meaning. Literally, a sounding board is a flat, resonant surface that reflects sound and amplifies it. In pianos or guitars, for example, the sounding board is an essential component that enhances the volume and tone of the instrument.
