Globe Business honors women leaders in Davao Caps off Women’s Month with a holistic empowerment program

Coming from a successful launch in Cebu in early March, Globe Business continued its nationwide women empowerment program by gathering female business leaders in the Davao region. The second leg of their campaign themed “You are Wonderful” continued to uphold the role of female leaders as a driving force in local industries and the economy as a whole.  

“As the country continues to be a great place for women in the corporate world having more Filipinas becoming leaders of enterprises, there is also a growing need to let them feel empowered so they can strike a balance between career and family life,” pointed out Globe Business Vice President for Enterprise Marketing Charmaine Bautista-Pamintuan.

She cited a recent study from the Asian Development Bank identifying a number of fast-growing sectors where women should be encouraged to play a greater role, including the booming business process outsourcing sector, tourism, light industry, and entrepreneurship. “Through our engagements such as ‘You are Wonderful,’ we at Globe Business commend female leaders as they continue to blaze trails in the work force.”

Being the third most populous area in the country, Metropolitan Davao serves as the main trade, commerce and industry hub of Mindanao, and one of the key cities championing women power in the country. The enterprise arm of Globe Telecom exclusively invited women executives from the region as they were treated to a day of self-reflection, good food and rejuvenation at Pearl Farm Beach Resort in The Island Garden City of Samal in Davao del Norte.

The women executives first went through a life-design workshop, especially created for women who want to anchor their lives and careers on their values and the principle of balance. It took participants through a fun and reflective learning journey where they were able to revisit their core values and strengths, create a personal brand that is consistent with their core values and strengths with particular focus on building their career, take a snapshot of where they are today and craft an action plan to bring them closer to an ideal place in their lives and careers.

Globe Business Senior Vice President for Enterprise Group Nikko Acosta said that “we look forward for a wonderful new culture to emerge – one that evokes compassion and balance in the workplace as we see more fully-integrated female professionals in the corporate world.  Globe Business will continue to celebrate, inspire and empower female executives as we work closely with them in creating a wonderful ICT landscape and businesses in the country.
