FILIPINAS IN MOTION
Developing Personal Power and Influence, Empowering Each Other
BACKGROUND
The name “Filipinas in Motion” was selected to describe the many roles of Filipina women. The name envisions the Filipina woman as constantly growing, transforming, innovating, and changing herself as she secures her place in the world. Filipinas in Motion showcases Filipina women in a wide range of professional roles and actively involved in corporate, government, and nonprofit organizations. It is about celebrating Filipina women, sharing stories and strategies, and passing on their wisdom to those who may need the inspiration. Filipinas in Motion is about “what it means to be a Filipina woman today.”
ABOUT FILIPINAS IN MOTION
These are small discussion groups of Filipina women in similar fields and professional areas of expertise. Each group has a Discussion Leader who will facilitate the flow of ideas and ensure participant sharing and empowerment. Topics will cover career strategies, real-life stories (triumphs, struggles, accomplishments), an insider’s perspective on how Filipinas navigate their unique workplaces, and best practices on how to “arrive, survive, and thrive” in the world of work. These small group discussions will provide an environment to restart thought processes and expand thinking. Participants can sign up for any group of their choice.
