Sha Nacino, The Possibility Igniter’s Post

“When life throws you lemons, make lemonade.” More than 5 weeks ago, I tripped on a supposedly flat walkway that had an unforeseen step. I fractured my foot and my doctor advised me to immobilize it for 6-8 weeks. It was a bummer not being able to stand up on my feet, walk, drive, and dance. Bound to a wheelchair for weeks, I could sulk or have a possibility party. I chose the latter. I ordered 17 books on Amazon, books by Ivy League professors and legendary researchers, plus a few books by my favorite authors. I also wrote a book while on a wheelchair, completing about 90% within two weeks. Less than 3 weeks to go before I can walk again without crutches or a walker. Can’t wait to be on stage again to unleash your inner child and ignite possibilities in you and your team!!!🔥 ⭐️What obstacles have you encountered recently? What possibilities and gifts can you uncover from that experience? P.S.1 The walkway where I tripped? Applying what I teach on #CompasssionateLeadership, I’ve been in private talks with the developer and they have installed changes — yellow paint, lights, and a caution sign — to ensure everyone’s safety moving forward. P.S.2 This was taken from a kick off I did for InLife. Cheers to Stephen Ong and Raoul Littaua for their brilliant leadership and amazing dancing skills!😉 #InspiringFearlessPossibilities #LeadwithCARE #KeynoteSpeaker #MotivationalSpeaker #TheFearlessLeader

My friend Coen Tan and I met at the Toastmasters Convention in Malaysia in 2014. We became friends right away. When he’s in Manila or I’m in Singapore, we would catch up. He’s a mentor, friend, and a big brother to me. His words have power! In 2014, he said, “Someday, you’ll fly Singapore Airlines which your client booked for you and you’ll speak at conventions.” In 2019, his words came true. I boarded Singapore Airlines which the client booked for me and I traveled to speak at a convention. Since then, I’ve traveled to and spoken in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, India, Maldives, France, and the U.S., among others. Great friends are real treasures. Coen is very authentic. He says what he means and means what he says. He can be very honest with me and tell me what I need to hear vs what I want to hear. I can take his words with an open heart because his authenticity is coupled with genuine care. No hidden agenda. Authenticity and care. Those are the strong qualities of Coen. What are the qualities you admire in your friends and mentors? 😊

It was a joy to meet your team, Ministry Of Influence ! Thank you for inviting me to join your fun adventure, Coen Tan !

If your writing career feels stagnant or uninspiring, RELAX 😊 I’m saying this from the perspective of someone who has written 15 non-fiction books and have coached 200+ non-writers write, publish, and launch their books within a few months. 1. Pep talk yourself and remind yourself of the kind of person/writer you are. You are creative. You make things happen. You’ve written masterpieces in the past. You can do it again. 2. Take a break. Go out in nature. Depending on how much time you have, travel if you can. Or go to a coffee shop. Take your mind off writing and just allow your mind to relax and recalibrate. 3. When you’re rejuvenated, get back to writing. Set aside time to write each day or each week. Enjoy! You got this!💪

Anxious about public speaking? Anxiety or nervousness before speaking in public is normal. The suggestions in this collaborative article is very useful. Two powerful ways to combat nervousness is 1. Think of public speaking as a conversation. You got this! You’ve been conversing with other people since you were young. I detailed this in my TEDx talk. Just search “Sha Nacino TEDx” on YouTube 2. Remember that public speaking is not about the speaker. It’s about serving the audience thru your message. So focus on your message and on the audience so you won’t be trapped with anxious thoughts like “what if I forget my lines,” “what if I make mistakes,” and so on. You got this!!! Keep speaking 💪

Inspired by Brenda Bence, Ranked Top Ten Coach Globally ‘s post on her alumni community at Harvard… Do I have fellow University of the Philippines graduates here? Or fellow faculty from the Asian Institute of Management ? Or fellow certificate holders from the University of Pennsylvania who are passionate about #PositivePsychology? Maybe we can catch up for coffee sometime and see where it goes. Feel free to comment here or send me a direct message. #ThePowerofNetworks

“He walks the talk” That’s how I describe my friend Jonathan Low Global Speaking Fellow, CSP, ICF MCC. He speaks on Leadership, Sales, and Service and embodies what he teaches. He’s based in Malaysia and is here in the Philippines for a couple of days. Because of my limited mobility, he met up with me in our condo lobby. He was observant and sensitive of my needs. He pulled a chair so I can elevate my foot. He moved his chair so I didn’t have to tilt my head when talking to him. 😅 And nope, there’s no business agenda. It was a genuine catchup between two friends and fellow speakers. We’ve worked together for an online summit called the Global Success Summit. He also spoke at the Global Authors Summit, an event I organized with my team. You can watch the highlights here >>> https://lnkd.in/gSZ8hpTZ Jon talks about Service with CARE, I talk about Leading with CARE. CARE is a super power! So many of our personal and workplace problems can be solved if there’s genuine care, and people feel safe, seen, and appreciated. How can you show care to someone today?😉 #LeadingwithCARE #walkthetalk

What does it take to be a great coach? Brenda Bence is the standard. I’m so grateful to experience being coached by her. In just 45 minutes, she was able to help me uncover my branding and what I stand for. That night, I cried because everything resonated with me deeply. Thank you, Brenda!!!

Imagine having coffee with a happy, successful, and down-to-earth multi-millionaire. She has more cars than her fingers and toes, more properties than she could visit. Most importantly, she’s grounded. People admire her. Her families, friends, and colleagues look up to her. Plus, she has the heart to serve. She wants to empower hardworking people who are frustrated with their lives that they can dream big and achieve their dreams. What are the 3 questions you would like to ask her? P.S. I’m not that person.😉 I’m doing some research for a client. Thank you!

Happy Easter! 🤗 The past few weeks have been very challenging for me because of my foot injury. At the same time, I also felt very loved and cared for and I developed a newfound strength and a greater appreciation for our mobility. 1. My brother and sister-in-law accompanied me to the E.R. and we were there until 3AM. 2. Family and friends came over to bring food and join me for lunch or dinner. 3. Friends and clients sent care packages. 4. A client was kind enough to move our training to a month later. 5. My cousin and cousin-in-law called me up and showed their support. 6. When I went home to the province for the Holy Week, my family moved all our meals to the 2nd floor since my bedroom is on the 2nd floor. 7. Someone comes over daily to help me with daily chores such as doing the dishes, etc. 8. A friend lent me her crutches because the crutches I ordered would arrive late. I am so grateful!!! Today, I celebrate progress. Before, I can only move around using a walker or wheelchair. Now, I can use crutches. The road to healing is a long one, 6-8 weeks according to my orthopedic. This is teaching me patience. Oh, I can’t wait for that day I can walk without any crutches. If you can walk and jump and dance right now, you’re so blessed!🤗 P.S. The huge developer admitted that their walkway where I got injured indeed posed hazard. I’m doing everything I can to have a decision maker from that company listen with compassion and take accountability so there won’t be any injuries moving forward. I can imagine what if the person who got injured is a security guard who is also a breadwinner? Can he tell his boss, “Boss, I got injured. Can I work from home?” Or if she’s a cleaner. For sure, she can’t move her work to Zoom. What will they feed their respective families if they don’t work for 6-8 weeks? Currently, I'm in private discussions with the company, hoping for a resolution that reflects both compassion and accountability, rather than disclosing their identity publicly to protect their reputation. However, I'm ready to escalate the matter if needed to ensure the safety of others. 🤞
