INTRODUCTION OF SPEAKER
Now, no seminar is complete without a stellar speaker to guide us through these life-changing

professional field but also someone who knows the importance of building a solid foundation for
success.

organizational studies with a Dean’s Citation Award. He is currently the Vice President for
External Relations and International Affairs of the University of Mindanao (UM).
He’s responsible in promoting and expanding linkages and networking of UM which include the
Asian International Mobility of Students (AIMS), the Asian University Presidents’ Forum (AUPF),
and the Association of Universities in Asia and the Pacific (AUAP).

Organization and Development Facility, and the ERASMUS Mobility plus.

CLOSING SPIELS
Wow! What an incredible session! I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling more effective already!
A huge round of applause once again for Dr. Reynaldo Castro for sharing such powerful insights
on the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
Let’s all make sure we take those habits to heart and apply them not just in our studies or
careers, but in every aspect of our lives. And before we wrap up, I’d like to leave you with one
last thought—just like in accounting, the balance in life comes from making the right deposits
every day: habits, mindset, and actions that grow your effectiveness. So, let’s keep building
those habits, one day at a time.
Thank you all for being such a wonderful audience! You've been amazing! I hope you enjoyed
today as much as I did. Stay effective, stay awesome, and remember—always keep your
balance sheet of life in check! Take care, everyone, and have a fantastic rest of the day! See
you next time! S
