Shy's got entrepreneurial spirit in spades. She's the force behind Cavite Mascot Rentals, a venture born from her knack for kids' party hosting. Trained by industry leaders, Jollibee Foods Corporation, she knows how to turn her event hosting skill into a great business.
When it comes to events, Shy is your go-to planner. As the co-founder of S&T Events Management, she takes the stress out of planning and puts the style back into your special occasions. She's not just coordinating events; she's elevating them.
Since 2015, Shy has been a trusted host, working with names like Gloc 9 and Paulo Avelino. Even international companies like Ghirardelli and e-sports group Lupon WCS Dota have called on her skills. She's not just holding a mic; she's commanding a room.
She's also earned recognition. Shy was named one of the Top 20 Wedding Hosts in the Philippines, a nod to her unique blend of professionalism and personality. But for Shy, the real reward is the impact she makes.
Before her Public Speaking Fellow recognition, Shy developed her Owntalk®. It's not just motivational fluff; it's a guide to finding your purpose. With her key themes—#Findingyourway, #Findingyourwayout, #Findwayback—Shy offers more than inspiration; she provides a roadmap to meaningful change.
She started her international trajectory in 1994 as one of only seven Romanian recipients of a George Soros Academic Achievement Scholarship as a student at the American University in Bulgaria. She graduated in 1998 with a BA in Business Administration and additional degrees in Journalism/Mass Communications and Music Performance.
With 25 years of experience across Europe and Asia in finance, publishing, education, management consulting, and brand strategy, Janina excels at delivering solutions both big and small— for several local startups and for one of the largest FMCG companies in the Philippines (where she led a holistic change management program, and the structuring of a massive CSR program from the ground up). As a Change Management Consultant and Corporate Communications/PR Strategist, she brings inspiration, synergy, and flow to every scenario.
In October 2000, Janina was one of the first five women ever ordained in the Pentecostal Church in Romania. In 2019, she renewed her ordination as an inter-faith minister with the Universal Life Church and holds a PhD (h.c.) in Divinity. She has gained many insights into our relationship with the Sacred, our role in the universe, and our spiritual journey through life.
In 2014 and 2015, Janina was awarded the Rotary International Presidential Awards for her contributions to Rotary China and the Rotary Club of Chengdu (Sichuan, China), where she served on the Board as PR Director.
She was trusted as the editor of two textbooks (Old Testament 101 and New Testament 101) in use by theological seminaries across Romania, and she has also co-authored and edited two more books (To Love an Angel and The JEDI Code) published in 2011 and 2015 in Bucharest.
As a classical-crossover mezzo-soprano, Janina has performed in Europe and Asia since 1995, including the House of Parliament in Bucharest, the Tvaerkulturelt Center in Copenhagen, and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing. Her style stems from centuries-old Orthodox Church chanting, and her repertoire includes sacred music, opera, Broadway, jazz standards, contemporary music, and meditation music. She believes that music is the secret language of the heart, where words, harmony, and silence come together to take you on a journey of healing and personal transformation. When intention, emotion, and harmonics are combined into song, music becomes a living field of energy where you can discover the inner truths of your heart and connect with others on a deep, spiritual level.
She is just as comfortable communicating to an audience of one or to a sea of thousands, but her stage experience includes more than music—Janina is also an actress. She has appeared in several theater productions, TV series, and movies. You might have seen her in Magpakailanman, Wish Ko Lang, Owe My Love, Abot-kamay na Pangarap, Unbreak My Heart, and the upcoming Gomburza and Shake, Rattle, and Roll: Glitch.
Despite her professional and artistic achievements, her journey through life wasn’t easy. Janina is a survivor of domestic abuse and a first-hand witness to mental and emotional trauma's impact on our physical health. In April last year, she was diagnosed with late-stage III cancer and told she only had 2-3 months to live. Since then, she has beat the odds and made a full recovery, thanks to the talented and dedicated medical professionals in the Philippines, the country she now calls home.
Her own process of healing from the trauma of narcissistic abuse has led her to discover her soul mission: to help others rebuild their sense of self-worth, regain their confidence, and learn to live a happy and fulfilled life. Her experience overcoming terminal cancer has equipped her with a unique perspective and insight into maintaining our emotional and mental balance in the face of adversity and into our untapped ability to turn even the most dire circumstances in our favor. She remains grounded, balancing profound empathy, mindfulness, gratitude, and non-attachment.
She has lost everything and had to rebuild her life from the ground up - and she has had to do it all on her own while living in a foreign country. This deep, transforming personal journey led her to become a healer of human suffering: Janina is now certified as a Master Life Coach, Authentic Happiness Life Coach, and Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki practitioner. Her story of resilience, courage, and hope guided her first to become a Certified Public Speaker and then a Certified Public Speaking Fellow.
Her Signature Story is the story of her life. She is here to bear witness to the fact that we can overcome, no matter what. That we can overcome the fear, the adversity, the hardship, the trauma, and the pain. She is still here because she follows her life purpose: to heal and to inspire. Janina is an energy Alchemist on a mission to transmute pain and suffering into balance and joy.
As trained professional motivational speakers in the Philippines, we charge a modest speaking fee anywhere from Php 10,000 to Php 250,000. The investment on the speaker depends on the scope and duration of the program. We also provide a free 30-minute online consultation for organizations and teams who may be interested to hire us.
A professional motivational speaker in the Philippines is someone who have relatable inspirational stories, compelling messages, and presenting proficiency. This suggests that your speaker must be trained to combine these elements in one. Otherwise, your audience may not find their listening experience satisfying.
The Public Speaking Institute Lloyd Luna School of Keynote Speaking provides highly-trained Public Speaking Fellows. This one-month certification program qualifies our public speakers to provide keynote speeches to clients.
Without proper training, a highly intelligent, knowledgeable resource speaker may end up just uttering words on stage while people are sleeping on their seats.
Our keynote speeches can last between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours . It depends on the specific need and goal of the client. Sure, it's a one-time engagement. But we work close with our clients during the alignment session.
Never trust an motivational speaker without an actual experience in the topic you intend that they speak about. Many "motivational speakers" today simply inch their way in the Internet and that's it. It's a trap. We have more than 50 years of combined motivational speaking experiences in the Philippines and abroad. It must mean something.
Getting a "famous Filipino speaker" or reading the "List of Motivational Speaker in the Philippines" is not always the best choice. As someone familiar with it, the FilipinoSpeakers.com gives you some basic qualifications should you need to choose your next motivational speaker:
It depends. If you feel there's a need to consider looking at your situation from a different perspective without any bias or judgment, they you need a professionally trained motivational speaker. Sometimes, when we are too familiar with our situation and the people around us, the tendency is to trust that everything is ok. However, in reality, it might already be the opposite.
A professional inspirational speaker is someone who can help you see another perspective. He or she can present parallel scenarios and situation which can help you expand your thinking. It's through these insights during the coaching process that you get to grow as well as a leader or as a manager or a part of your team.
As a motivational speaker myself, I normally come into the picture to challenge an existing belief. I love challenging my clients' perspective so we can arrive at what we can better accomplish.
Many have been said about motivational speaking—what it is and what it is not. But whoever you choose, make sure you get your desired result. Otherwise, it's a bad investment. And a bad investment is still an investment. Choose very carefully.
As professional motivational speakers holding the Public Speaking Fellow designation in the Philippines, we charge a modest fee between P10,000 and P250,000. It depends on the scope and duration of the program. This is discussed during the initial meeting. Alternatively, we can also tailor our program to fit your budget restrictions.
It depends which payment method would be more convenient for you. We have accounts with BDO, AUB, GCash, and Paypal. For Paypal payments, we put an additional 10% on top of the amount to cover for the service charge.
We offer a flexible way for you to pay our coaching program. Of course, we don't want to be your additional burden on top of your professional concern. We will talk about your financial situation and take it from there.
Definitely, it's a yes! We won't keep your money if it doesn't worth your time, energy, and effort. Our goal is to help you—not be be a burden. If we are not helping, we are not getting in your way.
We all have blindspots. We have a tendency to be our own fan. Sometimes, we can be tempted to believe our own lies. All these make a great recipe for disaster. Disaster is the last thing you want to happen under your leadership. In other words, you've got to have someone by your side for a check-and-balance.
As professional motivational speakers, we care about your well-being. You must be able to be your best self to make sound decisions in your career or business. We help you in that area. No matter how painful, we will tell you what you need to hear. Then, you can deal with situation with more confidence.
It's no. Another no. And one more no. Three no's!
Having a professional motivational speaker doesn't diminish your being an executive, a leader, or a manager. On the contrary, it can propel your organization to reach new heights. Having an inspirational speaker means you are ready to explore and you are committed to succeed to achieve that goal.
This question isn't for us to answer. Nevertheless, we'd like to assume you are. Nothing easy comes when leadership and management are at stake. Everything is a walk-in-the-forest. But the good news is, you've got a professional motivational speaker to help you survive in the forest.
No one is really ready unless they do. We are here for you.
How to pick the best leadership speaker
We have to agree. There are a hundred leadership speakers in the Philippines.
You may have picked one. As a result, you got a great leadership event. On the contrary, you got one. However, the speaker failed to live up to his promising profile.
In this article, we present several ways on how be an expert leadership speaker. In addition, we aim to help you find the best keynote leadership speaker for your event.
A Leadership Speaker in the Philippines is a speaking professional. He presents on the topic of leading and influencing people. Being professional, it means the speaker speaks effectively. He must be an expert on the topic. He must be ethical in all the processes involved in his work, too.
More importantly, he doesn't do this as a hobby. A part-time leadership speaker may not be effective. He must be enterprising. Over the years, he must made his expertise to a speaking business.
He's not necessarily be a graduate of a specific course. However, he must have an actual leadership experience. Otherwise, he must have conducted a deep research on the subject.
It is easy to make a website now. Any speaker can easily have one. Then, he can claim he's a speaker. Hold it there.
