To Raymond Borja, Transformational Coach, Entrepreneur, and
Philanthropist, empowerment is enhancing a sense of ownership by being
enthusiastic and developing an intense commitment to achieving set goals. Raymond
focuses on creative ways to become more productive and innovative both in both personal
and professional life through structural and psychological strategies. Raymond
is the Executive Director of Bright Lights Academy, a charity organization that
is based in Bulacan, Philippines helping youth learn basic foundation in
computer skills for enrichment opportunities that can help students become more
successful in life. He will be traveling to the Philippines by the end of this
month to deliver computers to Bright Lights Academy and provide leadership and
personal mastery seminar in Bulacan. Raymond’s goal is to empower students
develop best potential through education, training and collective performance. Raymond
is compassionate and has a great life coaching acumen.
“Empowerment is to take determined action to be better, push
harder than yesterday and dare to do mighty things. Empowerment is not being
afraid to fail because failure makes you stronger,” said Raymond.
I met Raymond through Help for Haiyan Relief
Effort in Chicago on November 2014. A typhoon recorded to be one of the
strongest typhoons in history devastated our country and I was moved to respond
in action. Raymond was one of the leaders in organizing and managing one of the
largest and most successful relief effort in Chicago through his co-organizers
and galvanized a community. Help for Haiyan relief effort experience was
phenomenal, seeing different nationalities rise to extend support created a
shift of oneness, and bond of hope stronger than Typhoon Haiyan. Three months
prior to typhoon Haiyan, I launched my foundation called Inspirational
Alignment Advocacy Foundation. I was empowered to make a difference in other
people’s lives even in a small way. Flying to Chicago for the relief effort was
a way of giving back and following my passion in advocacy.
Continuing to
share inspiration with Raymond a year and a half after Typhoon Haiyan enhances
autonomy and motivation to continue making a difference in other people’s lives.
Empowerment helps build an interpersonal bond and active connection that can
lead to a greater probability of achieving goals.
Empowerment through dissemination of knowledge,
sharing vital information, skills, resources, opportunities, and motivation can
create a maximum impact for achieving goals. To become successful in life, it is
essential to have a deep-seated belief that you will produce desired results. Write
your goals every day, visualize, and take action. The choice is yours to put an
act of will, commitment and exemplary practice to achieve your dreams. Empowerment
creates a paradigm shift in complexity and intensity as an individual
transition from old patterns to new patterns. During transformation process, it
is important to recognize unique abilities and be committed to expanding
capabilities to shape a brighter future. Be open to change and pilot new novel
approaches to self-empowerment. Nurture a positive attitude and as you develop
self-empowerment, empower others to achieve their dreams as well. Inspire
others to achieve extraordinary outcomes and develop own capacity to
intentional leadership. Building a shared vision through strong collaboration
with others can foster growth, increase productivity, and meaningful
experiences.
