Executive presence with Myrza Sison

Senior leaders interviewed by Harvard Business Review agree that rising to the C-suite requires “executive presence,” defined as “a combination of self-confidence, poise and authenticity.” Certified executive coach Myrza Sison radiates all these as an influential figure in lifestyle media and the beauty and fashion industries today. The former editorial director of Summit Media led hundreds of editorial staff in her 25 years with the company and held the final say in their selection and hiring. Her past careers include walking the runways and gracing the pages of fashion magazines as a top model, and coding for a living as a computer programmer and systems analyst.

She leverages her expertise in transformation and reinvention today as a confidence coach and as the host of a self-empowerment podcast called You Can Do This! Her mission? To empower others to achieve their biggest goals and dreams. In this session, she will do a deep-dive into the foundations of executive presence and teach you practical strategies to cultivate it so you can stand out with confidence in a competitive job market. 

CV makeover with Pola del Monte (a.k.a. Miss Chief Editor)

A CV or resume is a professional’s passport in the workforce: their first point of contact with potential employers. And yet, most people write their CVs as an afterthought, and churn monotonous lists of their everyday tasks. But Pola del Monte — who has written profiles and human-interest stories for BusinessWorld, CNN and Cosmopolitan — believes that people are more than just their job descriptions. Their CVs should also reflect that. 

In her corporate roles in marketing and communication, Pola has edited hundreds of CVs that help win million-dollar contracts. She deepened her knowledge in business communication at Harvard, where she earned a graduate certificate with a 3.78 GPA. More popularly known as Instagram’s Miss Chief Editor, Pola has helped thousands of Filipinos break the glass ceiling. In this session, she will walk you through refining your CV so it can reflect the dynamic, evolving and powerful professional that you are.
