ASK A FILIPINA: #20 DISRUPT Leadership Tip from Amelia Duran-Stanton, Deputy Chief of Inspections/Ortho Physician Assistant, U.S. Army (Global FWN100™ '13)
Persistence, resilence and passion are key for long term success. You may not be the smartest or most qualified for every job you want. However, by being persistent in identifying your shortcomings and being passionate in taking action to address them, you will succeed. Resilience is important in overcoming obstacles. There will always be someone who will make negative comments or will not be supportive of the goals that you have for yourself. Being resilient will enable you to ignore the negativity, enable you to pick yourself up quickly when you fall or get pushed down, and to brush yourself off and get back on track.

Don't be afraid to break barriers. Though tolerance and progress on the gender front seem to be picking up in many areas, there are still new frontiers and domains where barriers to women and Filipinos exist. Don't be afraid to be the first to venture out into new territory. There may be no peers and mentors where you venture, but don't hold back from carving out your turf.

Lead through empathy. Effective leadership is not about giving orders. Leadership comes by understanding where people are and what got them there, and most importantly, what motivates them. Leadership is about being flexible and knowing your own purpose in life. Leaders should empower as empowerment builds trust and strengthens teamwork.
