Thanks to our friend, Carlson, for giving us a copy of this beautiful CD.   We missed the Loboc Children’s choir during our Bohol visit last year, so we are very happy to listen to them.  Thank you for bringing them to us through this gift of music.  

 Carlson is one of the reasons this CD came to life.  Though he is always so humble about his charitable ways, we know that he is behind many projects and supports many artists.  Not only the Loboc Children’s Choir but artists/the arts in general.    

The voices of the children ( 9 to 12 years old )  are so angelic!  They represent their hometown, their heritage and everything that is beautiful through their voices and the music that they make. They travel to other countries to represent our country…. and they make us proud!  This is already their second album.  Please support them so they can continue to make beautiful music….

My good friend, Rina, had a great idea for her son’s seventh birthday.  Heart2Heart would like to share the idea with you.

Rina compiled into a book ( by Picture Books ) some of the art works of Quinto from his first seven years and gave it to his family and close friends.  I am fortunate to have received one and I thought it was a beautiful gift to share and it reflects the thoughts and the growing years of Quinto expressed through art.  

Happy 7th Birthday Quinto!

Sharing with you the pages of Quinto’s book…. 

Another book by Picture books-not only photos can be made into books but any printed material

We are priveleged to know such a great man and his wife, Lyn.  Up to now they are very very good friends of the family.  

Howard was the one who brought Starbucks to the Philippines 10 years ago. We all know that good leadership determines the success of an organization and Howard was definitely a good leader. 

Congratulations Howard on your book!  

************************** 

Former Starbucks President’s New Book!

“Howard Behar, the keeper of Starbucks’ soul for many years, has given us a book about how to succeed anywhere-not just in business. His ten principles should be required reading for every government official and college president.”

—Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley

As a longtime senior executive at Starbucks, Howard Behar helped establish the company’s culture, and coached hundreds of leaders at every level around the world. 

Now in his upcoming book, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE COFFEE, Behar reveals the ten principles that guided his amazing leadership. And as the title suggests, not one of them is about coffee.  

As he writes, “At Starbucks the coffee has to be excellent, from the sourcing and growing to the roasting and brewing.  Our finances have to be in order.  But without people, we have nothing.  With people we have something even bigger than coffee.”

Behar argues that if an organization puts people before profits, everything else will take care of itself. If you think of your staff as people (not costs) they will achieve results beyond what is thought possible. And if you think of your customers as people (not revenue) you’ll make a deep connection with them, and they’ll come back over and over.
