Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders: Executive Presence and Confidence at FICCI Next Gen
FICCI Next Gen recently hosted an engaging session on business etiquette and executive presence with Ms. JC Echiverri-Celones of PQ Human Resource Consultancy and Ms. Dang Bernardez, USRN, of Powertalk Training Center. The program focused on building professional image, presence, and protocol, emphasizing how leaders project themselves at all times and how this reflects both personal and organizational credibility. The event was held on February 27, 2026, at the Last Chukker, Manila Polo Club.
Participants gained practical tips on aligning personal branding with corporate vision and confidently representing their organizations in meetings, client engagements, and public events. A highlight of the session was a skit by Next Gen members demonstrating the importance of power management and respect in professional interactions, making the lessons both relatable and memorable.
The key takeaway: practicing respect strengthens confidence, elevates professional image, enhances executive presence, aligns personal branding with corporate vision, and leaves a lasting impact on leadership and daily conduct.
As the previous NextGen Leadership term concludes, we’re excited to begin the next term of emerging leaders.
