ASK A FILIPINA: #10 DISRUPT Leadership Tip from Marily Mondejar, Founder & CEO, Filipina Women's Network
Make it easy to do business with you. Dress to Influence. My mother used to say: “You want to be the person who signs the paycheck, not the someone who’s waiting to see if you’ll get one.” Do not ever let anyone get in your way to advancement or feel guilty about "Corporate Loyalty: what is that?"

ASK A FILIPINA: #8 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From Ernestina de los Santos-Mac, M.D., President, PACCM; Global FWN100™ '13
Be credible to the public. Next-generation leaders would do well if they carefully establish their reputation. Leaders are credible only if they do whatever they are advocating. They lead by example. You should not just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk the walk.’ Actions speak louder than words, so back up your promises with actual delivery.

#9 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From Elena Mangahas, Board Chair, Filipina Women's Network; Co-Board Chair, Little Manila Foundation, U.S. FWN100™ '07
Know history, know self. Knowing and appreciating the depths of my being an Ilongga, my provincial origin, was a necessary step to my growing up. I felt the sense of pride in my family that had nothing do with class or social status. On the contrary it was humble and perennially humbling. Being Ilongga brought me self-confidence. It also made me interested in aspects of history that formed my Filipino-ness.

ASK A FILIPINA: #5 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From California Chief Justice Tani Cantil Gorre Sakauye, U.S. FWN100™ '07
“Get your name ‘in play.’ You may not get the first job you apply for, or the next, but if you keep putting yourself out there, eventually, someone will bring your name up when a new opportunity arises because you have proven yourself and gotten your name in play.”
— California Chief Justice Tani Cantil Gorre Sakauye, U.S. FWN100™ ‘07
ASK A FILIPINA: #6 DISRUPT Leadership Tip From Michele Bumgarner, INDYCAR Race Driver, Global FWN100™ '13
"Follow Your Heart. It may sound simple, but sometimes people try and talk you out of your dreams that to them may seem crazy. When your heart says “go,” do not let anyone stop you. No matter how many “no’s,” how many hurdles, how much time it may take, do not stop. Just do not stop. You will never be who you are meant to be, if you do not follow your heart!"

ASK A FILIPINA: #4 DISRUPT Leadership Tip from Sterling HSA CEO, Cora Manese Tellez, Global FWN100™ '13
"Young Filipina women complain that outside of the Philippines, Filipina women are subject to stereotypes: we are supposed to be shy, modest, retiring, hard-working, but not assertive, meaning, we are not leadership material. In my professional history, I have relished destroying those stereotypes. I began by destroying those views inside my head, as often our mental models impair us long before we go to work. When self-image is positive, strong, and confident, there is no leadership position we cannot tackle!"
