Quit talking, start doing
you won't truly understand the value of thought leadership and influence until you start doing and building.
You already know this—nothing will change in your life, your business, your relationships or even in society as a whole if you spend your time thinking and talking about what you want rather than 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁.
1️⃣ Consistency builds confidence. The first step is usually the hardest. But the more you show up, the more natural it feels. Growth comes from repetition, not perfection.
2️⃣ Action breeds clarity. Don't overthink this. Aim to post your first 20 content pieces and reassess when you hit that milestone. Your voice gets clearer as you use it. You don’t need all the answers now—just start.
3️⃣ Your audience needs time to find you. You’re not just posting for today—you’re building a presence that compounds over time. Keep going.
4️⃣ You can’t improve what doesn’t exist. Your first posts won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. But you can refine, adjust, and elevate only after you’ve started.
Take this quick quiz to discover your unique style and get specific prompts to create your first 5 posts. The goal is to GET STARTED and be on your way to getting ahead and building your influence with confidence.

Tesa's boss at publicis Groupe s.a. (advertising agency)
Ronald Barreiro
"Tesa was a joy to work with—eager, intelligent, persistent and pleasant. She quickly learned the ropes of advertising, absorbing every detail about the brand she was handling. Her strategic recommendations were always spot on. Her project timelines were comprehensive and concise. Relationship management / client servicing was second-nature to her because of her naturally pleasant disposition.
She was pushed to the limit as a young Account Manager, working late hours managing her numerous IMC projects for MILO, a megabrand in the Philippines. She quickly gained the confidence of her team and superiors at Publicis Manila. Her Nestlé clients were amazed at how fast she absorbed the history and strategy of her brand." (1/2)

She’s taught me to not compare myself to others, to be patient, because everyone’s path is different and to embrace my strengths and find my voice. I am extremely grateful to call Tesa my mentor, and she continues to inspire me to do better and aim higher."
