We all have dreams and we we do what we can to reach them. We all have potentials, but sometimes it remains a potential. The power in each one has so much that  we can do as people of talent and influence. That is why we all need someone to give us all motivatiion! 

We need people like Arby Abello, one of the top-ranked motivational speaker, a hi-impact trainer and a Director of Business Works. In 2012, Salt and Light Ventures and Asian Center for Trainers and Speakers (ACTS) awarded him as the “Highest Rated Speaker” for In-house Seminars. Ardy Abello surpassed over 40 speakers and trainers in that category

We met him at an intimate media conference where we had lunch as well as a short but interesting talk  about ourselves. How we see ourselves and how we are as natural leaders. He conducted a short exercise to see for ourselves what kind of "animal" we are in terms of leadership. Upon answering the form, I found out that I am a Lion, strong and confontative. Though it may not be my obvious trait, but certain situations does lead me to bring out the Lion in me to invoke change and movement with people. If you want to know yours, you can attend one of his seminars.
