Today was sweltering, still. I had the morning onboarding at the balcony where the wind was gushing — and it was far better. During the afternoon, the sun was creeping in so I went back inside the home office.

Let me just synthesize some of the memorable things that blotted in my mind during Minco Domingo’s (managing director of Avaloq PH) welcome message this morning:

• Avaloq helps in the democratization of wealth — it enables the common to benefit from global wealth.
• Protect the psychological safety of everyone by being open to questions — sarcasm and negativity are welcome elsewhere.
• Collaboration, Simplicity, Impact

Of course, these are my interpretation of the signal as it reached me.

Nevertheless, it gives me a glimpse of how the Manila headquarters is being led — and it’s in tune with some of my professional values.

All good, day 2!
