Attended the ASCEND 2025 | Digital Workers to Homegrown BPO Owners conference by DICT Caraga
My expectations for this kind of event were high, and it delivered! The speakers shared wisdom thatโs worth keeping.
Bits of wisdom Iโm bringing home, still hyped from the event:
๐ โStart sloppy, start scared, start small. Just donโt wait to start.โ Ruben Licera - CEO & Founder, Licera Media System, Inc.
๐ โNever undervalue yourself.โ Pamela Ann Baluyo - Founder & CEO, Scale Experts, Inc.
๐ โYou donโt need to be perfect, you just need to be consistent.โ Sherwin Nava Alegre - CEO & Co-Founder, Microsource, Inc.
๐ โOwn it, show up.โ MK Bertulfo - Founder, Filipina Homebased Moms
๐ โNo shortcuts to success, commit to learning and understanding the industry." Chan Nier - CEO, Vconnx Virtual Digital Solutions
Grateful for the lessons that opened my eyes to new possibilities, the genuine connections with people who share the same passion, and the spark of inspiration that reminded me why I started this journey. Even more grateful to reconnect with DICT Caraga Regionโs executives and staff from way back in my 2019 GVA training days, and now. What a joy to see old friends, colleagues, and meet new faces along the way.
Iโm heading home with fresh ideas, a motivated heart, and the belief that this is only the start of something greater!
