Bureau of the Treasury Testimonials Batch 2
January 12-13, 2017
Jacquiline Santiago, CTOO 1, Leadership Training,
Bureau of the Treasury
I’ve really learned
a lot, and I enjoyed all the workshops. The program design really fits the
needed skills of the leaders in our Bureau, and through this, I gained
confidence and knowledge in public speaking and how you present yourself and
your ideas to others. Ms. Sheila is
excellent. She’s really helpful and convincing. She possesses knowledge and
deeper understanding of her topic.
Mary Grace Roselee Doctor, Operations Officer 1V,
Leadership Training, Bureau of the Treasury
I learned a lot from TalkShop workshop especially on being
a better leader, the importance of communication, public speaking, and self
assessment. This workshop makes me realize that I have to practice and face my
fear to speak in front of many people. The Leadership Skills Training design is
well-done. I like all the activities that we had individually and by group
activities. Ms. Sheila is really a wonderful person, intelligent and very
approachable. She is pretty and beautiful with a heart.
Yolanda Santella, TOO 1V, Leadership Training, Bureau
of the Treasury
I gained much
from TalkShop Leadership Worksshop on how to be an effective leader. The
program design is very informative. It was clearly explained and discussed.
Mostly, I like to be a good speaker even if I felt fear. Ms. Sheila is excellent and she speaks in a
clear and modulated voice.
Susana Sanchez, Admin Officer, Leadership Training,
Bureau of the Treasury
I gained self-confidence
as future leader and supervisor. Ms. Sheila is a nice teacher and the perfect
person to inspire others.
Marita Lecaros, Admin Officer V, Leadership Training,
Bureau of the Treasury
I have learned
much especially about public speaking and being a leader on what to do with the
people I lead. The program design is well-planned. I like the workshops the
most. Ms. Sheila is very knowledgeable
on the topics discussed. I am now well-aware of my capabilities being a leader.
Agnes Lacuata, CTOO 1, Leadership Training, Bureau of
the Treasury
I learned how to
assess myself, my personality as a leader, to broaden my circle of influence and
manage my circle of concern. The program is effective to leaders and aspiring
leaders. I like Working Effectively with Diversity the most. Ms. Sheila is
knowledgeable on all the topics. I am able to widen my perspective to become a
good leader and follower.
Corina Lalaguna, TOO 1V, Leadership Training, Bureau
of the Treasury
I learned much
about how a leader should act in a given situation. I like knowing that
everyone has a unique personality and there is a reason why they act that way. This
workshop is a self-realization on how I should act as a supervisor. Ms. Sheila is very knowledgeable about the
topics. She engaged the participants in all activities.
Marcelo Gerez 111, TOO 1V, Leadership Training, Bureau
of the Treasury
I learned quite
a lot like knowing the diversity of every individual around me, not just
subordinates but also the officials in the management level. I think I became more appreciative of others
in my work area. Ms. Sheila is
attractive but most importantly she knows how to effectively translate the knowledge
she shared with us.
Rodil Nunez, Treasury Operations Officer 1V,
Leadership Training, Bureau of the Treasury
We had a very
limited time but fruitful and enjoyable moments mostly in everything we learned
and that we are not aware of until now. I can say that it is a wake up time to
know ourselves, what other potentials we can tap and improve. I just wish that we will conduct this kind of
seminar more often. What I like most about this workshop is the introduction of
ourselves and storytelling in front of colleagues. Ms. Sheila Viesca is very
effective.
Cynthia Agbin, Administrative Officer V, Leadership
Training, Bureau of the Treasury
I’ve learned a
lot like corporate protocols, social graces, different personalities of
individuals using the Enneagram which could help me know more about myself and
the people around me. I like public speaking the most - the art of storytelling
which gave me an idea to write my own story and share it afterwards. Ms. Sheila
Viesca is very charismatic, articulate, and beautiful. She knows her topic very
well. Overall, she’s very efficient and effective. I really appreciate all her
efforts. I may not have totally overcome my fear in public speaking, yet having
this training with TalkShop is a good start to conquer my fear.
Gloria Antazo, CTOO 1, Leadership Training, Bureau of
the Treasury
This Leadership
Training awakened me in so many ways. I became aware of my personality and my
behavior in different situations. I realized that I am the Boss type with a martyr and an
orphan achetypes. I learned a lot like understanding my personality, learning
creative writing, and knowing the qualities of a good leader. TalkShop program design is superb, it is about
understanding one’s self.
The TalkShop
Trainer, Ms. Sheila Viesca, is excellent. I wish to have more training with
her. I learned not only to be a good
leader but also an effective one.
Editha Anievas, CTOO 1, Leadership Training, Bureau of
the Treasury
Fear of public
speaking is natural but once you own the stage, confidence will come out and
fear automatically vanishes. Leaders have different stories to tell but all of
them should communicate and set goals to achieve better results. I learned a
lot in this workshop and I highly appreciate the activities we’ve undergone. I
like the activities and workshop overall. Ms. Sheila is an expert of her craft.
Truly, inspiring others is the essence of good leadership.
Jose Antonio Alandy, TROO 1V, Leadership Training,
Bureau of the Treasury
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.
