The day started in the hospital – another monthly treatment for my myeloma. My nurse was wearing a t-shirt that said “Kaya mo to” which in Tagalog translates to “You can do it.” Exactly the message I needed to hear.



As soon as treatment was done, I scooted over to one of my amazing clients to facilitate a workshop on “Working Through Conflict: One Conversation at a Time.”
Together, we explored communication, empathy, the Ladder of Inference, conflict styles, and a structured process to navigate through difficult conversations.
And when each participant shared one takeaway from the workshop? Absolutely priceless.
Some days, leadership looks like holding space for others. Other days, it’s simply choosing to show up. And in both, I’m reminded: hope and purpose can coexist with healing.
