Precious Nicole Figuerra

 THE TRAINEE:
I'm aware that I'm young, but I already have a clear vision of
where I want to be in the future. I am Precious Nicole Figuerra,
Prey for short. And I'm currently studying at the Lyceum of the
Philippines University in Cavite. I am taking a Bachelor of Science
in International Travel and Tourism Management. Reading,
writing, traveling, and photography are some of my passions. And
one day, I see myself as a successful cabin crew member and
business owner. And I think that in order to achieve that, I need to
expand my abilities and be knowledgeable about my industry.

LET'S DO IT!

 On the 16th day of May 2023, we had to attend an event under our
subject, Integrated Image Enhancement and Career Preparation. It is a
seminar for career preparation entitled Achieving Professional Image in the
Global Perspective. It started with a prayer and a flag ceremony.
The seminar started around 1:30 p.m. with our guest speaker, Mr.
John Paul Lanot. I was impressed with his unique introduction and skills in
making his business speech interesting and enjoyable. He is known as the
president and CEO of Pino Concepts, Inc. However, what caught my attention
was his passion for voice acting. It's nice to see a person who is enjoying the
path that they chose. Anyway, our topic at that time was an entrepreneurial
mindset, and he tackled maximizing the things that we already had. At first,
Mr. Lanot asked us the difference between expense and investment. Many of
us said that when we talk about expenses, it is all about money, purchases,
and liabilities. In short, it is the outflow of a resource. Investment refers to a
product or asset bought to make money. Investing is a successful approach to
using your money and could boost your financial status. In his seminar, he
shared with us the 10 resources that we may use to make money. The first
one is location. Using the location and its natural resources, you can acquire
an immediate market. I remembered his example about this: when someone
lives near a beach that has a lot of coconut trees, that person can make a
living out of it. Selling coconut juice and other coconut products would be a
huge hit. The next one is Time I am somehow guilty of this one because I tend
to procrastinate, which will lead to failure in the future. Mr. Lanot said that
we should say no to multitasking. According to Parkinson's Law, tasks take
longer to complete the more time you give them. The "due later, then do later
mindset" must change to the "do now, then rest later" mindset to avoid
procrastinating and stressing after. People need to be skilled at time
management, especially in the work industry. Time management may be
improved on all levels with the use of techniques like the Pomodoro
technique, the 80-20 rule, and checklists.

 In addition to that, Mr. Lanot also discussed the physical self, information,
and talent. He said that this is the most common thing to do in the business
industry; if someone can sing well, they can use it as their income maker.
According to him, being proud of our passion and willing to share it with other
people will make us successful. He also stated that we can use our experience,
technology, networks, passion, and money to maximize the things that we already
have. After all the things that he said, I realized that I am also capable of making
money for myself. I have the habit of writing stories that pop into my head
randomly, and it happens that those scenarios can be a huge hit if I publish the
books that I'm currently writing. I also have a huge garden at home, and my plants
are growing a lot. I am capable of selling them online if I want to. After attending
the seminar, I realized a lot of things, and it broadened my knowledge about the
business industry. It was a huge help for me because I am about to graduate next
year and enter a new challenge, which is stepping out of my comfort zone to face
the real world. Around 3:00 pm, the seminar with Mr. Lanot ended. His business
discussion was incredibly interesting since he used a lot of techniques and funny
jokes to capture our attention. We also had a wonderful time dining at the Bayleaf
Hotel; the meal was delicious, and after the event, we took pictures with my friends
by the pool. Overall, I must say that I had an excellent experience attending this
conference since it helped me broaden my view of the business world.
