POWER KEYNOTE: Owning Your Power
“What does it mean to lead when the ground beneath you is shifting?”
Democracies are tested. Communities are displaced. Filipina leaders face both unprecedented opportunity and unprecedented threat. This November, Summit 2026 convenes in Monaco to confront that reality — and to put a provocation to every delegate in the room:
What if four days could redefine your future as a Pinay leader?
We’re answering that question with Keynote Panels and Learning Track Sessions — six conversations in all, each one built to challenge how you lead.
We are bringing together FWN’s most prominent voices and global leaders for the Filipina Summit in Monaco on 15-19 November 2026 — don’t miss it! The best pricing for summit registration is ending on June 30, 2026. Go for it at ffwn.org/events.
POWER KEYNOTE: Owning Your Power
Power isn’t a title that can be revoked — it’s composure, clarity, and initiative that travel with you when everything else is taken away. Leaders from different industries get candid about reclaiming power on their own terms.
