SICOG 2015 - 8th Session of Our Leadership Class - Report on 8th Session of Leadership in Singpore

Good evening po Prof. Who would have thought that one of the plenary sessions of SICOG 2015 (Singapore International Congress of Obstetrics & Gynecology) was an extension of our leadership class. I actually still had the 8th session after all here in Singapore and I am so amazed of how prepared I was for this session because of all the learnings you imparted to us Prof. Of course what we learned from you was much more than what was discussed, especially so that what we learned from you was based on the spirit of Ignatian leadership which made all the difference in helping us become authentic leaders.

(those cover character and competence)

Why?  Because Filipinos are the most talented people in the world, and most sought after talents the world over.  (See the bulging OFW remittances and the expatriate experience of the Leaders in this class.

The Lecturer copies paste the article at Rappler for easy reference of leaders.
