100 Days of New Bold U
NBU2024 is done and over, and what an incredible journey it has been. This wasn’t just an event; it was my personal 100-days challenge to step into leadership and prove that I can co-create something bigger than myself.
Reflecting on this journey, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. From the initial invitation of Ralph Layco of an idea to the culmination of NBU2024, every step was filled with challenges, drama (Alam mo yan besh), growth, and countless moments of inspiration. There were times when the weight of my responsibilities felt too heavy, and the struggle to balance it all seemed impossible. But everyone's support and belief in me through every obstacle kept me going.
To the 200+ BOLD ONES who attended our events, whether on Disruptors After Dark, on Zoom or Facebook, and finally NBU2024, thank you for showing up, engaging, and believing in the vision of New Bold U. Your presence and enthusiasm made all the difference.
To the incredible team behind NBU2024 – especially our beloved volunteer staffing team, hosts, facilitators, technical directors, and everyone who played a part in making this event a success – I am deeply grateful. Your dedication, hard work, and passion is the foundation of this journey. A special shoutout to ofcourse, Dean Ralph Layco, Direk Luwee Karl Carrasco, my beautiful EA Erin Courtney, Nica Elle, Mark Darwin Balaswit, Mitch Raybelle, Tere Lacia-Aringo, Trisha Mei Atienza, Erin Everly, Shirlie Bernabe - Alicante, RD Morales, Lloyd de Leon, Fatima Nunag and Matt Lawrence Saez, and all our speakers, sponsors and contributors. Your efforts created an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.
This journey wasn’t just about organizing an event; it was about redefining authentic living, pushing boundaries, and proving that we can achieve greatness together. It was about connection, alignment, and building relationships and communities that inspire and uplift. From our team alignment at 8 Aliliw Lucban with Transformational Coach Russ to the transformative moments during the seminars, every experience was a testament to the power of community and shared vision.
Thank you for believing in me, for being part of this journey, and for making NBU2024 an unforgettable experience. As we move forward, let’s continue to strive for greatness, to support one another, and to create a future where our dreams know no bounds.
Here’s to new beginnings, bold moves, and the incredible journey ahead.
I am your Chief, and Coach Pao and I am my highest potential.
