Titus Abola, Soft Skills Trainer

I will be conducting an online talk entitled "Teamwork in the New Normal: The Impact of Remote Work on Team Culture and Coherence." I think adjusting to working remotely is a challenge for many groups and I would like to share my insights for those who are dealing with such a change. I don't have a specific schedule yet but it will likely be held within the next two weeks. It will be for about an hour and I will be charging a small fee. If you are interested, please send me a message. Thanks!

This pandemic has upended lives, including the way we work. As a learning facilitator who thrives on face-to-face interaction in group settings, it has been difficult to adjust my chosen career to these new circumstances. But of course we all have to adapt in order to succeed at what we do. Therefore, I have decided to try delivering my services online.

If you or someone you know is interested in:

1. Real-time online seminars on teamwork, communication, leadership, group culture, and other related topics, especially within the context of "the new normal" brought on by this global pandemic; and/or

2. Real-time online coaching, either one-on-one or in small groups, covering similar topics as above;

I would love to hear from you. Send me a message and let's talk about how I can help you.

Last October 15, 2019, I was invited by the Philippine office of Korn Ferry International to facilitate a half-day team building for their leaders. It was held at Club Balai Isabel in Batangas.

I spent the last three days in a very enlightening and eye-opening workshop on Values-based Mediation. Thank you to the facilitators at The Conflict Resolution Group Foundation! I'm looking forward to applying everything I learned.

February 23-24, 2019, was both a leisure and working weekend for me as some of my high school classmates and their families gathered for our 30th anniversary reunion. Knowing that I am a professional facilitator, they hired me to run some fun team building games for them.

It was a pleasure seeing the young once and the young ones team up in a friendly competition. We may be getting old, but playing games together is still one of the best ways to bond and reminisce over old times.

See you at the next reunion, classmates!

For this session, we played Airlines Europe, a game where players invest in airlines and help expand their operations in order to increase the value of their investments.
