Francis Kong is a renowned Filipino motivational speaker and leadership expert.

I vividly remember Francis has engaged with the Career Executive Service Board (CESB) where I was connected as a writer and similar public sector initiatives by sharing his expertise on ethical leadership and organizational growth.

I saw him recently during a press conference in Ayala Malls Manila Bay. He was a featured speaker at SpeakersCon 2026, held last February 11, 2026, at Space at One Ayala in Makati City.

As a renowned leadership expert, he joined a lineup of speakers. He focused on “Redefining Authenticity”, leadership and impactful communication.

The event, in which the theme was “Moving people through clarity, credibility and character”, promised insights on influence, leadership, and personal growth.

Other speakers I saw were Sen. Bam Aquino (opening remarks), Mark Schaefer, Inka Magnaye, Ida Tiongson, Eri Neeman, Kia Abrera, Alan Reyes, and Dr. Donald Patrick Lim who is a prominent Filipino business leader, widely regarded as the “Father of Digital Marketing” in the Philippines and the 78th president of the Management Association of the Philippines.
