PLDT Enterprise continues its commitment to empowering women as it shared insights on how women professionals can adopt a growth mindset to be well-rounded leaders of their respective organizations.
During the third iteration of Microsoft Philippines’
Professional Development Series, titled Leading for Leaders, PLDT Enterprise
Strategic Partnership & Alliances Head Fay Ocampo spoke to the
participants, imparting some of the best practices in the workplace for women
who aspire to make an impact and help their colleagues grow.
As offices transformed into a hybrid working setup, Ocampo cited her experiences which helped her become the leader that she is today. First, she noted that women should strive to prevent having the “disease to please,", especially for those who are bombarded with workloads from their bosses and superiors.
This means avoiding saying ‘yes’ to things when they wanted to
say ‘no.’ Ocampo shared they can show their commitment, instead, to completing
their tasks no matter how menial it is.
“In this new norm, you are either principled or not. So, my
advice is to stay committed, avoid the disease to please, and do the right
thing even when no one is looking,” said the PLDT strategic partnerships
head.
Ocampo also emphasized the importance of having an
entrepreneurial mindset or the desire to constantly improve and grow oneself.
She reminded the attendees to leave their comfort zones and constantly raise
the bar to be the best they can be in all their endeavors.
“Start looking at the 360 degrees of your work or your business,
or how you can improve yourself. Try something new; utilize the online
resources we have today because you can be a self-starter and self-driven even
if your environment is not motivating you. Have the courage to overcome that
comfort zone,” she added.
Furthermore, Ocampo stressed the importance of creating
meaningful connections as she asserted that now is the time to express more
care towards other people regardless of their position and title.
“The deepest satisfaction or reward is making progress when it
requires an authentic way of being honest and showing one’s empathy to
someone,” Ocampo said.
Carrying the theme “Leading for Leaders,” the said webinar was
the third leg of Women at Microsoft Philippines’ Professional Development
Series which seeks to empower attendees to address workplace issues faced by both
men and women today.
