July 24, 2026 was a special day for us at POWERinU. It was when we held the very first in‑person Brew and Breakthrough event.
Brew and Breakthrough started with a simple idea: invite our valued clients to a relaxed, two‑hour session over coffee where they can connect with other leaders and, at the same time, pick up practical insights on an engaging topic. It’s meant to feel more like a thoughtful conversation than a formal training.
Although I facilitated the learning session, I was very glad to be joined by several of my fellow Directors. Thelma Meneses served as our event host, while Jun Marfori and Penny Bongato sat with our participants and acted as table facilitators. Their presence made the whole experience feel more collaborative and personal.
We deliberately invited a small group of guests, mostly from our client organizations, and from a variety of industry sectors. That intimate setup helped keep the atmosphere relaxed and open. The mix of experienced business leaders and functional specialists made for a rich exchange of insights and real‑world stories that benefited everyone in the room — including me. I particularly enjoyed the discussion on their experience with various meditation practices.
In our upcoming Brew and Breakthrough this October 16, 2026, we’re continuing this format: good coffee, good conversations, and practical ideas you can apply right away. Watch out for more details soon — and we hope to see you at the next Brew and Breakthrough!
