National Chairmen's Planning Academy

Benjamin Franklin once said " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

The 2016 National board wanted to equip the incoming National Chairmen (NC) with the knowledge to prepare for the coming year ahead. The NC Academy was conceptualized for the NCs to better equip them with JCI Philippines protocols on procedures when running a national program.

The topics during the first day of the Chairman's Academy were:

On November 21 , 2015 , the l" National Chairmen's Academy was held in the JCIP Headquarters and was spearheaded by 2016 National Executive Vice President, Hegem Furigay. The first part of the day was dedicated to concepts shared by the National Board members and speakers to share their knowledge on the essentials of a National Program.

• Modules on communication cascade, communication line, PR and media for JCI Philippines' activities by NSG Walter Uy. • The jci.org.ph website by ND for Website Joyce Macaspac.

• Internal processes and protocols by 2015 NSG Christopher Camba.

• Budget allocation, management of funds and its protocols by 2016 NT Ken Ngo. • Essentials and Experience of being an NC by 2015 United Millennium Development Goals NC Maan Clemeno.

ANNUAL JCI PHILIPPINES

The Second part of the day was dedicated to planning for each National Program. The National Chairmen (NC) were given with an initial plan of action deliberated by the members of the National Board during their planning in October 2015, that NCs would have to develop their concrete plan that includes execution and timelines. Each NC presented their plan, how they would implement the project from start to finish and paying attention to their individual key result areas.

The NCs were able to provide the National Board with their integrated plan of action, which they presented one by one, collaboratively deliberated by the National Board and National Chairmen during the planning session.

Because of hi s term 's proactive out look , NP Steve's te nure as Pre s ide nt of J CI Ma nil a produced 45 Awards , 2 Hall of Fame Awards , l Merit Award for the Natio na l and Area Conventions . But the crownin g glor y of NP Steve term as JC I Mani la President came when he led JCI Manila to the most prestigious award in JCI , the highly coveted awa r d that has el uded JCI Phili pp ines for 21 years . Under the leadership of NP Steve Tycangco , JCJ Manila was named the The Most Outstand ing JCI Local Organization of th e World .

" JCI Manila 's 66 111 President for 2014 at t11e young age of 32."

After a very s uccess ful tenure as the 66 th president of JCI Manila , m a n y we re expecting NP Steve to take a s te p back a nd take a breather from J C I. After a ll , be ing a JCI Mani la Pres id ent is a lmost a full ti me and every day responsibility. But after some sou l searchin g , NP Steve admitted that the clamor of his fellow LO batcbmates to lead the Metro Area was far too loud to ignore. Thus , he signified his w illin gness to lead the Metro for 2015 .

During his tenure as Area Vice President he created the Area Development Counci l, Metro Area 2 had the highest number of trainings conducted.

Membership participation o f among the diffe r ent LO were at a hi g h.

When the moment came to s ig nify hi s inte nt to run for the hi g hes t post in the Natio nal o rga ni za tion , NP Steve had to s t ep back again and reassess th e oppo rtunity.

In hi s m o ment s of co ntempl at ion, h e de liberat ed o n hi s si tuati o n , commitments, aims a nd goa ls not o nl y fo r himse lf but th a t of his constitu ents.

Running for the e lec ted position is one thing.

Leading the national organiza ti on towards the achievement of somethin g be tt er and greate r is totally different.

After a thorough assessment of his dynamics , NP Steve again , on cue , focused on the goa l that be ca n make a difference not only in the loca l organizat ion and the Me t ro area but th is time fo r the national organi z a ti on .

" The hosting of JCI Manila of the Asia Pacific Conference in 2011 further exposed NP Steve to the uniqueness of Junior Chamber In terna ti on al . " 15

T H I NKING BIG On the las t quarter of 20 I 0 , Pres Toby Claudi o wa s organizing a vide o s hoot for the year end GMM . It was a dedication and tribute to all the chairmen of various project s and programs of JCI Manila for that year. The theme for that tribute video was "Dare to Dream". Th is was where I d iscove red mo re abo ut Steve. It was h is tu rn for the interview and t hat was the time that I learned that he was the Chairman for the Smokey Mountain Field of Dream s. "Siya pala yun . .. " I wa s s aying i n my mind . Steve truly was brave and courageou s. Steve used not onl y the title and theme from Kevin Costner 's movie for that project , he also used its famous tagline "If you build it, they will come" a nd t hey tru l y did. Out of the ashes and garbage came a baseba ll fie ld , a kids baseba ll tea m , bu t more important ly . ... overflowing hope and inspiration from the children and parents of Smokey Mountain. Steve Tycangco was one who "Dared to Dream" .

THE F I RST M EET I N G I was very new to JCI Manila when I join ed the GMM Committee way back in 2010 . I was introduced to Steve by 2010 L OM Management Director Hans Angping .

He was in charge of managing the finances of the committee and I was assigned to lead the Logistics for the GMMs. Steve was a very quiet fe l low. We didn't get to ta l k much back t h en as I was quite s hy myse l f. Most of th e t i me I wou ld on l y attempt to ta l k to fellow JCI Mani la members to discuss JCI related work that had to be done or to check on the things to do for the monthly GMMs . I had a good opportunity to see how Steve ma n aged the finance s of the Committee. His sy s tem was very s traightforward, simple to understand and efficient. Budget and Projections for each GMM was very realis t ic and his repo rt s made it clear to t he en tire team of ou r cash positio n . Steve h ad a knack fo r details and I admi red him for it. Steve played a big role in the success of 20 I O's LO Management for JCI Manila .

"Steve's capabilities were years beyond his young age. " 16

M Y D IRECTOR I t was my fir s t time to experience the "Campaign Seas on" in JCI Man il a . I was so pro ud of having voti n g ri ghts , as I saw Steve ca m pa ign to woo th e m e m bers to vote for him as a first time director for JC I Man il a . He worked so hard duri ng the campaign , together with his fellow Let 's Go Candidates, they literally toiled night and day to c o nnect and share their p lan s to the enti r e members hip (new and old). The candidates campaigned to convince members that they deserve the vote and that they wi ll s erve the organization to the best of their abi lit y. "Forged in Fire" , I thin k th at thi s time and t es ted pr ocess in JCI Ma n ila is what made Steve for what h e is now. When he was elected as Director for LO Management he asked me if I can be his Chairman . I d idn't hesitate I immed iatel y said "YES" . "How can 1' be afraid to lead ? " I a s ked myself. "I'm on the shoulder of a giant."

Steve 's capabilities were years beyond his young age. I was o lder than him b u t he knew his way. His h onesty, sinceri ty to serve an d hi s way of doi n g t hin gs earned my respec t. He was "My Direct or" pe ri od.

"As Above, So Below."

"S t eve Tycangco Je d by e xample. I admire him becau se he i s a servant leader. H e inspired many of us to better oursel ves. His sinceri ty in ser v i ng h as resu l ted in loyalty and s u ccess in all the endea vors he h as dec i ded to d o."

W O R K ING WITH STE V E I had the pleasure of working with Steve as a fellow board member twice. The first was in 20 12 whe n he was my Vice P resident fo r Internal Affairs and again in 2014 as my LO President. I served as his Director for Membership Deve lopment in 2012. As the pioneer s late of the SULONG po litica l party in JCI Ma nil a , we laid down p lans t o radically promot e JCI Mani l a and increase its membership and execute a retention program that wou ld provide members value for th e time, talent and money invested in JCI Manila.

Overflowing opportu nities in a ll four areas for the membership. That year membership developme n t program resulted in one of t he highest retention and recruitment numbers in the history of JCI Manila. In 2014 I was given th e opportunity again to work with Steve. Our e lection campaign that year was difficult to say the least. As we had to compete and prove ourselves worthy.There was an e lection fig ht against one of the most respected, most learned and one of th e best leaders in the organization. it was a good electio n fig ht , we were a ll made stronge r, and it was Steve who led us thru t hat experience. 2014 was a very successful and significa nt year as Steve gu id ed all of u s to o rganize big projects t hat gave so much impact and positive change to our communit y, th e environment , and our se lves and our members. Steve's leadership in 2014 resulted in JCI Manila get ting the most coveted award in JCI w hi ch is the "Bes t Local Organization of th e World". T h e last time our chapter received this award was 21 years ago . Loo king back , the award made me realize the importance of the core values Steve was sharing with us w h en we started.

" P.R . I . D .E and G .R . A . T . I . T. U . D . E ."

1. Our projects and programs sho uld be geared towards making POSITIVE CHANGE. 2.

We s h ou ld be aware of our RESPONSIBILITY as leaders. We shou ld lead by examp le.

3. INVOLVEMENT is important so we should wo rk on giving members opportun itie s for cooperatio n and collaboration amo n g our membership so we can make more meaningful projects for t he community.

4. DRIVE. We should fuel the passion of our members so they can grow and share t he v ision and mission of JCI 5. Aim for EXCELLENCE ... in everything we do.

6 . GRATITUDE . We a ll sh ou ld pay it forward , not only to our comm unit y but a lso to recognize our members who shared their time and talents to make a ll the projects.

17

"He has high regard for his family and makes an effort to keep in touch in spite of his busy schedule ."

He treat s hi s c losest friends as his family and would go above and beyond the call of duty to help a friend . Steve is such a light person to be around - it 's no wonder he is great at dealing with so many different people in h is work and in JCI every day.

18

Pa ss ion , focus , and heart - three qua l iti es that Steve , even in hi s early years , has consistently showed ; three things that make him the good leader that he is now. So to those who only know of him as just the playful , pilyo boy before - meet Steve Allen Cheng Tyca ngco now, JCI Philippine s Nationa l Pre side nt , husband, brother, son, and friend .

They also enjoyed the exciting island experiences and eco-sport activities including the warmth of the people, sumptuous food and cool ambience.

The

j oumey of my leadership career in JCI started on December of 2005 which eventually resulted in me being elected as the 2006 President of the newly revived Local Organization JCI Lamitan in Basilan City after having been dormant for 9 years.

Both my parents played a significant role in my JCI career. My father, Henry who used to be the president and my mother, Genilda are both JCI Senators in JCI Lamitan. They had a tremendous impact in my life. They showed me how JCI is fundamentally perceived in society as a catalyst in creating positive change.

As 2016 National Executive Vice President (NEVP) of the Junior Chamber IntemationalPhilippines, it is my profound hope that we would continuously pursue with passion our vision and mission in this noble organization. Each one of us should strive in creating meaningful impact and positive changes in our communities. Now more than ever, JCI is relevant in helping our communities grow. I believe that a single act of kindness can have an enormous impact to others.

"As a leader, I need to learn how to motivate, nurture and inspire our members to tlie right direction ."

One of the basic characteristics in leadership which I truly believed in is having the quality of Se1vice that is aligned with our values that ' Service to Humanity is the best work of Life' . As a leader, we need to understand that we are servant leaders. We serve and do not expect anything in ren1rn. If you expect something back, then it is not kindness anymore, it's business.

Communication is an integral part of leadership. It is a vital component in motivating others. A great communicator can unite members to work on a shared goal. It is very important for a leader to be able to relate to others. Leaders are not measured by how much they have achieved or how popular they are, but are measured by how well they inspire people to do the impossible. To rally them to achieve something that would create impact not only for themselves but for others.

As a past national officer, I know I still need to improve some aspects of my leadership style. As a leader, I need to learn how to motivate, nurture and inspire our members to the right direction. JCI as a university of leaders, is the perfect avenue for me to learn to be a better leader.

In any organization, challenges exist but this should not hinder us but instead inspire us to be better. People are not measured by the challenges they face but on how they respond to these challenges. As JCI Leaders, we need to ensure that we address the challenges head on. We should focus on sustainable impact both locally and globally. It only takes one citizen to change the world. Be that active citizen today.
