HFSE Leadership Team Re-Navigation: Together Amplifying Excellence!

by Elaine Cercado

Great teams don’t just move forward. They make sure they are moving forward together.

On 20–21 October, I had the privilege of facilitating the Team Re-Navigation Workshop with HFSE International School as part of Project SOL-HCD (Strategic Organizational, Leadership & HR Capability Development).

Building on the project’s initial alignment and planning, this two-day journey brought the team together to reflect, realign, and navigate the road ahead.

Because having a vision is one thing. Getting everyone aligned on where we are going, why it matters, how we will get there, and how we will overcome the obstacles along the way is what turns vision into collective action.

Through the N.E.W.S.® Team Navigation framework, method and tools by N.E.W.S.® Navigation, the team explored its direction, motivations, plans, and potential barriers—creating space for shared understanding, stronger commitment, and greater ownership of the journey ahead.

For us at POWERinU Training and Coaching, this is what meaningful organizational development looks like: not simply creating plans, but building alignment, accountability, and the collective capacity to turn plans into progress.

Project SOL-HCD is a journey, not a one-off intervention. The Team Re-Navigation Workshop is an important step in strengthening the organizational, leadership, and human capital capabilities that will support HFSE’s continued growth into its next phase.

My sincere thanks to HFSE’s leadership team, especially Founder & CEO Ninalyn Sulit – Cacananta, Founder & Operations Director Engr. Gary Cacananta, Head of Academics Christina Bacolod Labrador, and Head of HR, Policy & Compliance Jill Joanalyn Linzagan, as well as all the HFSE leaders who participated with openness, energy, and a willingness to move forward together. Your engagement is what makes this work meaningful!

Thank you as well to my POWERinU partner, Mildred Umali, for her strong support and collaboration.

We look forward to the next stages of this journey with HFSE International School!

Because when teams navigate together, they create more than a roadmap. They build shared ownership, strengthen collective capability, and turn their aspirations into action.

Together, let’s AMPLIFY EXCELLENCE!
