Collaborating with Purpose: Welcoming New Trainers and Coaches to the POWERinU Network

by Elaine Cercado

At POWERinU, collaboration has always been at the heart of our mission—to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to discover, develop, and share the power within. Over the past few months, I’ve had the honor of working closely with two exceptional professionals who are now officially part of our growing network of collaborators: Mildred Umali and Federico Paternò.

I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with both of them over the past three months. With deep expertise and solid track records in their respective fields, they now join our team of POWERinU Trainers and Coaches in delivering some of our most in-demand programs, including Leading Self, Leading Others, and Strategic Consultative Selling.

Seasoned Experts, Trusted Partners

Federico brings with him a wealth of experience in food and beverage, business development, and leadership. His sharp business insights and people-centered approach have made him a trusted consultant and mentor across various industries.

Mildred, on the other hand, is a highly respected leader in the field of human resources, leadership development, and executive coaching. Her thoughtful and values-based approach continues to make a significant difference in the individuals and organizations she supports.

Together, they embody the qualities we value most in POWERinU: integrity, impact, and a passion for people development.

Collaboration with Shared Principles

Our collaboration is built not just on skill, but on shared beliefs. As part of the POWERinU Collaborator Network, we align on key principles that guide how we work and grow together:

🌟 We are values-driven. We prioritize authenticity, responsibility, and service in all we do.
🌟 We respect flexibility and entrepreneurial freedom. Each of us brings unique strengths and styles—and we honor that.
🌟 We believe in the power of strong relationships. Open communication and mutual respect are at the core of our team culture.

These values form the foundation of a powerful partnership—one that enables each of us to contribute meaningfully while growing alongside others.

Moving Forward with Shared Purpose

Alongside long-time POWERinU collaborators Sandy Livelo Hernandez, Michelle Ong, and Dmitri Kouchnirenko, we are excited and energized to continue our mission: to journey with individuals and teams in unlocking their full potential.

Whether through leadership programs, coaching, or strategic development work, we remain committed to enabling lasting impact—rooted in shared values, collective wisdom, and personal growth.
