    by Haifa Carina January 28, 2023
    by Haifa Carina January 28, 2023

    Working from home is now the de facto preference of a working professional in IT or any industry that can operate digitally. You save time and energy from commuting. And you don’t even need to shower to work! Now, if you’re the manager of a team working remotely, that’s a different story. People seem distant and disconnected. It feels more effective to manage a team you regularly see in person. Many companies task HR teams to address this disconnect but what if your company doesn’t have that in place? Here I share some tips many remote teams practice including our…

    We all have habits – some good, some bad. Some we’re aware of, some we don’t realize we have. If you’re the kind of person who reads various literature becoming a better version of yourself, habits is a topic you’ve bumped into a gazillion times and for a good reason.  Last night I finally finished the book Atomic Habits by James Clear.

    My Lean In Journey 2020

    by Haifa Carina December 31, 2020

    How My Journey Began I first read about Lean In from Sheryl Sandberg’s book. I got curious so I searched for it then signed up as a member of Lean in Philippines. Last May 2020, Lean in Philippines held its first circle – a virtual one. Lean in Circles are small groups of women who come together regularly to support each other. Since the session happened in the middle of a lockdown due to the pandemic, the session became a safe space to share about the challenges and learn how others are managing them during that time. The next session…

    by Haifa Carina August 26, 2020

Eventually, I did subscribe and found myself watching one class after another! Worth it! What I like About Masterclass Documentary Style Interviews. It feels like the instructors are just storytelling the way documentaries are set-up. It doesn’t feel like a class…

    by Haifa Carina August 16, 2020
    by Haifa Carina August 16, 2020

    A couple of weeks back, I was swapping messages with a friend Julie who asked me if I can teach her how I have the self-discipline to study on my own and have the energy and consistency to start something I want. I agreed to teach her my ways and in return, I asked her to teach me the Sandler’s Sales Methodology which she’s trained at.  Figuring out what to share with her was easy because I already have a process in place. Organizing my thoughts and how to communicate was the tricky part. Each time I ask, why was…
