...Communications major I have learned to appreciate the work of PR agents. As CoCo Chanel has said before, “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.” In my first two years as a college student, I wanted to know the honest appreciation of the production side to an event; however, I have now cultured the inns and outs of producing an event. Individual interpretations of major events, The Victoria Secret Fashion Show, New York City Fashion Week, bring varied insights to an agents capabilities and it is also interesting to point out important props that the agent has added emphases to. I have always been a perfectionist, but throughout my first degree, an A.A in Fashion Merchandising, I have greatly sharpened my critical thinking and creative skills. Instead of focusing on being a perfectionist, I have learned to continuously find motivation from all over the world right at my fingertips and to believe in everything that I successfully produce. Also, by having the opportunity to assist backstage at many events, fashion in-particular, and work with a well-known PR agent on different charity events; this has helped me to develop a broader horizon on the knowledge of a career field as such. I guess you can say that my appreciation and knowledge has matured in respect to the career field of PR, which has enlightened my inner creativity to shine on my future. Being a creative perfectionist had always been a skill of mine, but it was challenging to take the first step in...

...exemplary leadership skills have a natural aptitude for the job? The old ‘nature’ versus ‘nurture’ question! Can we finally put this age-old argument to rest and come to a conclusion? Let’s go to basics first. Encyclopaedia Britannica states: “Leadership - exercising of influence over others on behalf of the leader’s purposes, aims or goals.” Leaders are born not made: The 19th century Great Man theory believes that people inherit certain qualities and traits that make them better suited to leadership, claiming there are specific inborn characteristics which predispose people to be and become leaders. There is a significant difference between ‘learning a skill’ and ‘mastering one’, in the same way that some are born with outstanding musical or athletic talents. They will excel naturally in these areas but in others they would be like a fish out of water. This theory is supported by a 2013 research from UCL (University College London). The study is the first to identify a specific DNA sequence associated with the tendency for individuals to occupy a leadership position. Using a large twin sample, the international research team, which included academics from Harvard, New York University, and the University of California, estimate that a quarter of the observed variation in leadership behaviour between individuals can be explained by genes passed down from their parents. Although challenging the conventional wisdom that ‘leadership is a skill’, the study also ...

...Management 531 Training and coaching of employees is an integral part of a business organization. Employers may use training programs to help their personnel acquire knowledge and skills as well as improving their performance. Through the development of a training program organizations can empower their employees increasing their expertise, thus expanding their productivity and efficiency. This can have cost-effective results in the company because of the subsequent progress in production and service that a well-trained employee can bring to an organization. The continuous changes in the business world and the competition force companies to modify and reinvent their business strategies. Part of these strategies involves providing their employees with the necessary resources and tools that will allow them to keep pace with the changes in the business world. As Cascio (2005)states “the organization is responsible for providing an atmosphere that will support and encourage development, and the individual is responsible for deriving maximum benefit from the learning opportunities provided. This may involve the acquisition of new information, skills, attitudes, or patterns of social behavior through training and development” (p. 288) In addition to training and developing their employees’ skills, managers may use coaching and mentoring to also improve their productivity. Coaching and mentoring motivate and even inspire the employees by providing them with the opportunity to...

...LEARNING’S ROLE IN EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT You often know it when you walk into a place of business. You can tell who is bored, distracted or unhappy. And you can tell who is focused, invested and engaged. Most employers prefer the latter type of employees, of course, because they tend to work harder, be more productive, provide better customer service, and are often just more fun to work with. But determining how to engage employees is a major challenge. The business literature provides few sure-fire, easy-toimplement ways of increasing employee engagement. With this challenge in mind, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) commissioned the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) to conduct a survey and develop a study on employee engagement. “Learning’s Role in Employee Engagement” was sponsored by Dale Carnegie Training. The goal was to gain an overview of engagement in today’s workplace and to find out how organizations can boost engagement levels, with a particular focus on learning’s role in the process. The final report is based on survey responses from 776 HR and learning executives and an extensive review of the workplace literature. The results were intriguing. The research team found that engagement truly is an issue of major significance to most organizations, which is probably related to the fact that the average organization has some serious engagement problems. Only about a third of the average respondent’s workforce is highly engaged, and nearly...

...Writer’s Self-Portrait I have a dream that I can travel around the world, and take picture from every place I have been, and share with my family and friends to encourage them to do what they dream. And I know my mother also likes to travel, but sadly, she always thinks taking good care of family is her only responsibility, she cannot leave home. I always tell her, “ Your kids are grown up. Don’t worry too much about us. Just go anywhere you want to go.” But she just cannot. So now, I am here. I took a lot of pictures and sent them to my mother, then told her about where I live and how it looks like here. I hope I can be a good writer or storyteller, when people read or listen to my story, they can feel they are here with me. Especially my mom, I wish I can use words with pictures to let her sees what I have seen. I was thinking to write a letter for my father before I came here, but I failed it, I cannot written up what I was thinking. My father is a traditional Chinese father, his face is always looks like serious, and he doesn’t talk too much, also sometimes I don’t really talk to him, it is because I can feel that he always thinks I am too childish and I don’t like that feeling.

...SEX EDUCATION? Imagine this scene. A young girl of fourteen approaches her mother and asks, “mom, how was I made?”. The mother goes blank. She is confused as to what she wants to know first. Would it be how to explain the miraculous process of reproduction and conception? Or would she prefer to know how her child got the nerve to ask such a question? It can not be denied that in today’s time, sex has become a household term. If before it was considered taboo, nowadays, it may be spoken as easily as saying one’s name. In effect, it may now be discussed everywhere by everyone including children. The term is actually not a bad one. In fact, it is a gift from God to any married couple. It is the process by which two people, blessed by God, become instruments of His creation. What makes it a “dirty” thing now is what many young people do to it. Sex has been abused and done by people even at a very young age of 14. This scenario has led to teenage pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, single parenthood, premature marriages, broken families, and eventually, poverty. The only solution the goverment sees that can be deemed possible to curb these incidents is by sex education---teaching sex in basic education. Are we Filipinos ready for this? I do not think so. But have got another option? No, we don’t. We have got no choice. This leads us back to teaching sex in school. But how can this be done? There have to be rules or guidelines that must be implemented in order that...
