Your Facilitator

Xandra Yebron earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech and Drama from the University of the Philippines in Diliman. She became a member of the faculty of Department of Speech and Communication & Theater Arts (DSCTA). Her interest in the performing arts and her experience as an instructor in UP nurtured her love for training. She was with UP for 9 years. Teaching Speech Communication courses allowed her to think of various teaching methodologies that suited her students. Being an instructor also honed her facilitation skills as the thrust was student-centered learning. When the opportunity arose, she grabbed the chance to train full-time. She was a Communication and Culture Trainer for Convergys, Philippines. She trained for 4 years. At Convergys, her training world expanded. She trained numerous classes in English grammar, pronunciation and call handling, went through Training With Impact, was certified as Communication Reference Facilitator for Training the Trainer (a coaching reference), was tasked to coach and certify a new trainer, and fulfilled administrative tasks related to training and assigned accounts.

 

Now with People Ignite, she continues to improve and learn. With her experiences, she becomes more passionate for training and people development. With the company, she hopes to help ignite that spark for continuous improvement and excellence.
