- The Great Resignation. In a study done by Zety in 2021, 65% quit because they didn’t feel valued by their managers.
- When employees feel unseen, their engagement drops. Low engagement leads to low productivity. The disengaged employees can even negatively influence the more engaged ones.
- A culture of appreciation can potentially increase the company’s revenue. In a study by Harvard Business Professor James Heskett, companies that exhibit the culture of appreciation had a revenue growth of 682%.
- Being seen and appreciated is a basic human need.
- Unlock your company’s hidden potential and inspire fearless possibilities in your team (e.g. increase team engagement, productivity, creativity) by building a culture where everyone is seen and appreciated.
“When you feel seen and appreciated, you unlock fearless possibilities.” - Sha Nacino
Problems it Addresses: Low employee engagement, low productivity, lack of creativity, lack of care for the company
Best for: Global Conferences, Sales Conferences, Financial Advisors, MDRT Conferences
Regardless of our age, race, or economic status, we all have this basic need. We all want to be seen and appreciated.
When you feel seen and appreciated, you soar high and you unleash fearless possibilities in the form of higher engagement, creativity, and productivity.
How do you keep your team highly engaged without spending tons of money? Building a culture of gratitude is key. This keynote will help employees gain perspective, inspire them to appreciate where they are, and share their appreciation with their colleagues, managers, and their company. The result? A happier, more productive, and highly engaged working environment.
According to Gallup, 75% of the reason why people quit their jobs is because of their managers. No matter how competent a manager or leader is, if the employees don’t feel the manager cares for them, they either get demotivated which then lowers their productivity, or they quit their jobs. In this keynote, leaders will gain practical and powerful ways on how they can show authentic care for their team members, which then leads to happier, more engaged, and more productive teams.
Loneliness leads to poor health and poor performance. When employees are happier, they tend to be more inspired, creative, and productive. What does it take to build a happier and a more engaged workplace? This is what this keynote is all about.
Let’s face it. When we’re worried over money concerns, we can’t focus at work and our productivity suffers. This talk will inspire and empower employees to take charge of their finances so they can eliminate financial worries and be happier and more productive at work. This keynote will be one of the most beautiful gifts you can give your team members. Sha is the perfect person to give this talk because she was once buried in debts during her stint as a bank employee. Today, her finances are in order. She can empathize with those who are struggling in their finances and she can help them get out of the financial mess they are in. Don’t let money issues get in the way to becoming the most joyful and productive team member you can be.
Sha’s book “How to Make Your Dreams Come True” shows you how to unlock your full potential for successful living.
Sha is not only a speaker who relates well with the audience, she also deeply understands the amount of hard work conference organizers put into organizing events. After all, she has a considerable experience organizing some of her branded events.
If you’re a conference organizer, you will love working with Sha as your keynote speaker because she is highly professional, she understands your language, and she is so easy to work with.
Here are the highlights of some of Sha’s events.

Let’s dive right into our Story, Highlight, and call to Action for the week 🙂
STORY
One Saturday in July 2018, I woke up at 5:30 AM to prepare for my 8 AM interview with my mentor, Bo Sanchez. This was part of the interviews I did for the HR Summit Global. Fresh from a 14-hour flight from London, he agreed to my interview request.
 |
Our topic was How to Lead with Love.
He articulated his wisdom eloquently using simple words. His words were powerful, and his actions even magnified them. He is someone who ‘talks his walk.’
I am grateful to have him as one of my mentors.
Who are your mentors?
I have lots of mentors in the different areas of my life and I carefully chose each of them.
Today, let me share with you three qualities I look for in a mentor.
HIGHLIGHT (Lesson)
Three things to look for in a mentor :
Character – He is authentic. His actions match his words. For instance, if your mentor gives advice on maintaining a happy marriage, it’s because he is also happily married.
Competence – Opt for a mentor who has already achieved what you aim for. If you seek a mentor in speaking, choose someone who speaks exceptionally well. Personally, I always choose the best in a particular area.
Care – he cares about your wellbeing and your growth. He creates a space where you feel safe, seen, and appreciated.
Call to ACTION
Our mentors can make or break us. 🙂
Choose your mentors well — whether in your personal life, business, work, or finances.

I wish you fearless possibilities!

P.S.1 Here’s the link again on how you can get Bo Sanchez as your mentor.
P.S. 2. Do you get scared to speak in front of a group sometimes? I shared a powerful idea in my TEDx talk. You can watch it here. Favor, if you liked it, please give it a thumbs up so YouTube can recommend it to more people. Thank you.so much! 🙂
P.S.3. Who’s the most influential mentor in your life? Curious also, what are the qualities you look for in a mentor?
I’m currently in the province vacationing and celebrating my little siblings’ birthdays.
I’m surrounded by greenery. My eyes are feasting on nature’s beauty.
I’m so grateful to my Mama and Papa for planting those mango trees almost two decades ago.
Yesterday, I saw a group of ducks pass by.
As I’m writing this, I can see chickens and goats roaming around.
I feel like I became friends with these farm animals. Hehe!
That’s why I’m slowly turning to a vegan lifestyle. For now, I still eat fish.
But that’s a story for another time.
Let’s dive right into our Story, Highlight, and call to Action for the week 🙂
I have an exciting story to share with you today.
STORY
In February 2018, Sun Life Foundation and The Spark Project called for project proposals for programs that promote financial literacy.
From more than 50 entries, we were one of the 20 finalists. One member from each of the 20 finalists had to pitch for 7 minutes. From there, a panel of judges from Sun Life’s top management will choose the 10 winners.
Now imagine being one of the judges. You have to listen carefully to each and every person who will pitch their project.
By the 10th person, you must be mentally and physically tired. Imagine if you’re listening to the 20th person.
By drawing lots, I was the 20th person to pitch!
Thank God I already had lots of training and experience in speaking. My 7-minute pitch won us Php100,000!
A little backstory
In October 2017, I went to Bacolod to attend the Toastmasters Convention. Since I was going to be in Bacolod anyway, I told our then-marketing manager, Clarice, who was based in Bacolod, “I’d love to give a pro bono talk to a public school in Bacolod.”
Clarice and her husband, Val, then organized a whole-day event for the children of sugarcane farmers who were students at that public school. Their stories touched me, but at the same time, I felt sad for them.
For instance, the valedictorian dreamt of becoming a helper in Manila. Others aspired to be janitors or baggers.
While these are noble jobs, I believed they had so much potential, and we wanted to help them realize it.
So, I told Clarice, “Let’s think of more ways to support the students.”
Fast forward
We used 100% of the Php100,000 we won from the SunLife Foundation to return to Bacolod. Together with my team, we taught the students how to dream big and how to manage their finances.
Today, some of those students have become artists, call center managers, store supervisors, etc. They were likely the first in their community to assume those roles. Their younger siblings, cousins, and neighbors now have examples of what is also possible for them.
HIGHLIGHT (Lesson)
Our words have power. Speak up and raise others up!
Call to ACTION
During team meetings, I encourage you to share your ideas with your leaders and team members.
As a leader, speak words of inspiration to your team. And be brave also to call them out when necessary.
For students, raise your hands in class.
Maybe you’re saying,
“Sha, I’m scared to speak up.
What if I forget my lines?
What if I don’t know what to say next?
What if I’m boring?”
These are valid concerns.
I addressed this in my recent TEDx talk. I also shared one powerful idea that will change how you see public speaking.
Good news! It’s now out on TEDx’s official YouTube Channel.
You can watch it here:
Here are some of the comments from those who watched the video:
