Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring success stories can spark your productivity, strengthen your leadership, propel you on the road to your own success. And when those stories are told by the very people who have attained success despite odds big or small, people who have conquered their own self-doubts and adversity in their careers, they can set you on fire and get you going in earnest to become more productive and successful yourself. This book will get you intimately acquainted with the real-life narratives and wisdom of 17 of the country’s finest professional motivational gurus and experts, all of whom are members of the Philippine Association of Professional Speakers (PAPS). Sure, they’re often first to admit that they are far from perfect role models, but what they’ve learned and gone through over the years to get them started—whether as “barker” to call out the numbers in raffle draws, as a young girl in grade school selling yema and polvoron to classmates simply because she loved talking to people and making sales pitches, or as a struggling marketing wannabe twice refused membership in a profession organization because he simply didn’t know how to speak before big audiences—are compelling testaments to their untiring efforts to achieve excellence and productivity. In taped interviews the featured motivational speakers in this book answer such probing questions as these five: "How did you start as a professional speaker?" “What is your core message?” “What makes a person productive?” “What does it take to be a person of influence?” “What are your three keys for success?” Their answers—some pleasantly familiar but very revealing on who they thought they were and what they wanted to be, some totally unexpected because they seem to have come right out of the blue—show the many faces of the quest for productivity that are now distilled in this one-of-a-kind book about success.
