This TalkShop workshop has categorically changed my outlook in managing our cooperative. The program is tailor fit to maximize the learning of the participants.

Ms. Sheila Viesca managed to carry the lectures and attract the attention of all the participants.

Orville Ferranco, Advanced Leadership for General Managers, National Electrification Administration

After attending this TalkShop training, my previous understanding of being a leader changed much. Being a GM of an electric utility does not simply mean managing processes but more importantly leading people. As a John Maxwell quote goes, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.” I learned more from TalkShop than all other leadership seminars combined. The program design is excellent.  Ms. Sheila Viesca has mastery of the subject-matter and was able to explain well all topics. I’ve improved my way of treating others and solving problems.

Arnel Aben, Advanced Leadership for General Managers, National Electrification Administration

Some of what we are trying to do at the coop had been validated and most of what had been presented for my part of added knowledge that will surely and vastly enhance the meagre skills I have. I like the time limits on exercises. The workshop opened my eyes and broadened my understanding in terms of managing and leading people as much as knowing my own self.

Eleno Desuyo, Advanced Leadership for General Managers, National Electrification Administration

I’m very happy and thankful to be one of the participants in this training I learned more than what I expected. The program design is well-done. I like the Enneagram the most. Ms. Sheila Viesca is impressive and charismatic.

I wasn’t able to attend fully the entire course due to work-related matters and prior important commitment I had on the first day. But I think I was able to understand and learn from it on how to become a good leader and how to convey your message effectively to other people especially to yourself. I have learned a lot about being confident (e.g. power pose, practice makes perfect, the Pixar way-storytelling).  Ms. Sheila is very well-versed in her field. She articulately delivers her message to the audience. This Leadership Skills Training workshop has allowed me to realize my weaknesses, potentials and strengths as an individual and a future leader to others.

Team Leaders are Team Players

John Maxwell wisely said, “It gets lonely at the top when you do not bring people along with you.” We can add to this by saying, “An unhappy leader has unhappy followers”.

When you bring out the best in others, you also bring out the best in yourself. Effective leaders value every member of the team. They are part of a team that builds, finds solution to problems, even in the most difficult and stressful situations.

Team leaders are team players.

 Here are the great leaders’ best practice:

1. Ensure that everyone is on the same page

* Be clear on the mission and vision of the company

* Be clear on the goals. Let the achievements become a shared responsibility. (Better yet, involve key people in goal setting.  Make goals measurable and time-bound).

* Be clear about one another’s roles and responsibilities in the achievement of overall goals

 2. Provide the proper support

* Involve the  team in the whole process:  planning, assessing, finding solutions

* When issues arise, focus on the issues and solutions, not personalities

* Properly assess the situation and solicit inputs on “what went well,” “Areas for Improvement,” and “Key Learnings.” Point out difficulties encountered that have caused problems, rather than pinpointing personalities.

* Identify concrete action points with corresponding assignments to parties involved.

* Be open to dialogue especially if issues are problems with attitude and personal concerns of individuals. Talk to them in private. Involve them in finding solutions to the problem.       

                                                                                                             

 * Monitor the progress for areas that need improvement and keep them in the loop  on their progress.

3. Create the positive environment for growth

* Challenge your team and provide rewards (not necessarily monetary all the time).

* Acknowledge individuals for their efforts. Articulate their concrete contribution.

*Training and development should be integral in the system. Make everyone glad about the prospect of growing with the organization and that their contribution is vital to company’s growth.

Be the leader that everyone loves to have and follow: One who motivates and inspires, a leader who is constructive and productive,  a leader develops who develops individuals into more effective leaders.

The Practical Applications of Mind Mapping

Different people resort to the use of mind-mapping for a host of applications. In all, students, professionals, and teams can benefit from structuring their thought processes to pave the way for clearer, rational thinking. SheilaViesca, TalkShop CEO informs, “In essence, mind mapping is laying down one’s thoughts on paper by drawing branches, boxes and bubbles to represent main ideas from which emanate details that allow one to think clearly and plan logically.” 

Sheila shares the many uses for mind mapping in daily life:

1. Writers can draft their stories by mapping out their plots, sub-plots, and characterizations. Ditto for essays and speeches.

2. Housewives will find it an effective way to prioritize tasks and to do a balancing act.

3. Marketing people can attend to the nitty-gritty in special events and oversee these more effectively.

4. Students can benefit by re-organizing thoughts to reinforce lessons and gear up for review.

5. Professionals plan better by connecting the dots to come arrive at solutions.

6. Everyone can map career moves by having the visuals of their goals and competencies.

7. Executive committees can generate greater creativity as they brainstorm for new ideas and campaigns.

8. Leaders become more effective decision makers as they see the relationship between their problems, scenarios, and solutions.

How Women Can Appear More Authoritative

While most men have a natural air of authority about them, many women need to work atthis. Having gravitas, that intangible quality that defines a person as executive material, is an important consideration for advancement. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO affirms, “Women should be able to project this quality to express that they are ready for more responsible roles.”She offers these suggestions for starters:

1. Dress well. Invest in quality separates that you can mix and match for differing looks. Spruce up the look with decent-looking accessories.

2. Make eye contact when you speak with others.

3. Claim your turf. Stand tall. Walk with purpose.

4. Keep affirming yourself with positive self-talk.

5. Act professional at all times. Quit the girlish talk and behavior.

6. Speak with authority. This starts with a regular pitch, rises mid-way and drops at the end. Do not end sentences on a high pitch that makes you sound uncertain.

7. Do not undermine your statements with apologies or disclaimers like, “I doubt whether…,” “ I am not sure if…”
Polish your personality.TalkShop, the leading ISO-certified training facility with Civil Service accreditation helps you put everything in the right place, and project the bearing and substance that spells authority.

How Leaders Handle Stress

Leaders need to practice calm and composure at the workplace. This is easier said than done considering the responsibility and workload that build up stress. Yet, good leaders view stress as a positive. Indeed, stress can move one to action, helps one focus to get the job done, and stay competitive and marketable.

Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO affirms, “Stress can propel one to take the right action and work at being productive. The important thing is that the stress level is managed so it does not turn toxic making one feel overwhelmed and paralyzed at work.” She shares these tips on how leaders are able to get a grip at the workplace:

1. A leader knows himself and constantly finds ways to reconnect with his core values.

2. He knows when to say no. He realizes when it is best to cut tasks from his list or delegate them to responsible people.

3. He develops talents who are responsible and rewards them justly.

4. A leader does not waste time on trying to control things he cannot.

5. He stays fit. He has a healthy lifestyle

6. He organizes his personal and professional life.

7. He recharges and mindfully renews his motivation when faced with challenges.
