Being in the communication training business for 45 years is no easy feat.
In 1971, Dr. Jose M. Mordeno, Jr. opened Speechpower with just one classroom, one course, one teacher, and one student. His mantra then was simple. Using communication as a tool of competence, he claimed: “I can be better than my best! ” That, in a way, complimented his enthusiasm to share his experiences to his countrymen as the first native of the Philippines to teach English to Americans and foreigners at the University of Hawaii. With such humble beginnings, nobody expected that Mordeno’s mantra (of sort) would inspire countless students of all ages and his baby, Speechpower, would be in the forefront of communication training locally and internationally.
As Speechpower turns 45 this October 2016, Mordeno remains steadfast in empowering the modern Filipino by teaching effective communication, and by advocating the right use of the power of positive speech.
