? (Empowered leadership, empowered results – Reach out to see how Strike Social's commitment to team growth translates into effective, impactful partnerships)

Strike Social’s Manila team recently attended a leadership training session led by renowned leadership expert Louie Banta to further enhance its leadership capabilities within the organization.

Known for his dynamic training style and commitment to accessible leadership education across the Philippines, Banta’s program, facilitated through the LIFT (Leadership Initiative for Training), offers a practical framework for effective problem-solving, decision-making, and conflict resolution—all essential components of strong leadership.

?? Background on LIFT's Leadership Training Program

Strike Social fosters an environment where each team member is empowered to lead and innovate.

The recent training session, a cornerstone of this commitment, introduced participants to Banta's methodologies and focused on skills critical to team and organizational success.

Who is Louie Banta?

Banta, CEO of LJMB and founder of the LIFT initiative, has long championed affordable leadership training across the Philippines.

Through LIFT, he emphasizes a holistic approach to leadership that goes beyond traditional skills by cultivating a positive mindset, personal accountability, and continuous learning.

His recent session covered areas that included problem-solving, decision-making, and conflict management, arming attendees with tools to navigate challenges effectively.

?? Key Training Highlights

Central to the program was the concept that problem-solving and decision-making aren’t just isolated skills; they are mindsets. Banta stressed three core aspects:

1?? It’s personal: Leaders face challenges daily, and success depends on facing this head-on with the right attitude.

2?? It’s about the right mindset: Tools and frameworks are invaluable, but they fall short without a constructive outlook.

3?? It’s organizational: Every team member plays a role in the larger structure, contributing to overall success through clear communication and sound judgment.

Banta also explored creative thinking as a foundational element in problem-solving, particularly conflict management.

“Leadership should always be a positive force,” he shared, highlighting the importance of focusing on issues rather than individuals when managing conflict.

?? Experiences of the Strike Social Manila Team

For many in the Manila team, the training was transformative. Attendees noted how Banta’s insights into personal accountability and constructive leadership offered new ways to think about challenges.

Angelo Miguel De Dios , one of our Media Buying leads remarked, "The training reframed how I approach issues. I used to shy away from conflict, but now I see it as an opportunity for growth and collaboration."

Erika Ditangan , our Digital Account Manager, added, "Every decision is an opportunity to inspire my team. Involving them more in the decision-making process has improved our overall morale." This approach not only empowers individuals but strengthens the team as a whole.

Elmer Gutierrez , our Account Strategist Lead pointed out the importance of focusing on issues, not individuals, in conflict management. He shared, "I’ve seen a difference in how we handle disagreements in our projects. It fosters a more supportive environment."

These testimonials highlight how the training empowered attendees to apply their newfound skills and perspectives in meaningful ways, driving both personal and team growth.
