Their commitment to the values mentioned above is not only admirable but also inspiring to those who have the privilege of knowing and working with them. In the past week, Gel Jose and I, two bloggers tasked to be with them on the Nagoya trip, discovered the other side of these driven individuals. Their passion is what stirs them to make a meaningful impact both within the club and the entire country.

Teamwork

Club members are passionate about working together as a team. They understand that collective effort can achieve more significant results than individual actions. Even during the Nagoya trip, we can overhear small groups talking about their annual goals as well as their periodic targets to claim either the company’s or their Branch manager’s incentive. Their collaborative spirit and dedication to the club’s goals create a supportive and inspiring environment for everyone involved.

Mr. Alex Narciso, President and Chief Agency Distribution Officer at Sun Life Philippines said that the most consistently producing advisors are those with a very pressing desire to achieve and prove themselves worthy.

They understand the importance of social responsibility so they actively engage in various charitable and community service activities.

During the Nagoya trip, the members pledged to help a remote community in the Sarangani province Philippines that desperately needs electricity in their area. This will be in coordination with the Solar Village Foundation.

Passionate About the Brighter Life

Mr. Novales mentioned in his speech during the gala dinner that there were some who couldn’t make it to the Nagoya trip so they opted to cash in the incentive. They, of course, have different reasons but the president said that the Nagoya trip is not just merely vanity but a chance to “experience the brighter life” that Sun Life advocates.

During the trip, the Sun Life Macaulay Club members enjoyed the different heritage spots in Nagoya and savored local dining options as a group. They were also given opportunities to explore the local cuisine by themselves–all expenses paid by Sun Life Philippines, of course.’

Shopping is also part of the itinerary, as the Sun Lifers also made it a serious business to shop for authentic Japanese merchandise for pasalubong to family and friends.

Most of all, the trip was also an opportunity to see a nugget of this big wide world, to see things from a different perspective, and to spend time with like-minded people who are out to live a brighter life.
