Filipino celebrity life coach Myke Celis proudly represented the Philippines at the 2024 Edition of World HRD Congress held in Mumbai, India, where he was awarded as one of the Top 100 Most Exemplary Coaching Leaders globally.

His significant contribution was highlighted during a segment focused on envisioning one’s future self, aligning with this year’s event theme, “Back To The Future.” Celis was the sole Filipino invited to join an expert panel discussing diversity and inclusivity on a global scale, an advocacy close to his heart.

Reflecting on his experience, Celis expressed profound gratitude for the opportunity to represent the Philippines on a global stage. He emphasized the importance of visibility for Filipinos and the LGBTQIA+ community, noting the positive reception he received for his advocacy-driven talk and distinctive attire.

Prior to this accolade, Celis also made history as the first Filipino Life Coach to be included in the prestigious list of Singapore-based GlobalGurus.org. Ranking at #27 among the 2024 Top 30 Global Gurus in Coaching, Celis will receive the award in Bali, Indonesia, this September, sharing the stage with industry stalwarts like Tony Robbins, Marshall Goldsmith and Jack Canfield.

Despite the surprise of his achievements, Celis remains committed to his #bestmeever coaching platform and continues to inspire others through his authentic approach. He encourages aspiring global leaders to persevere with genuine joy and integrity, emphasizing the importance of self-belief and continuous learning.

“Just focus on your goals and never let difficult days win. Practice what you do with genuine joy and integrity as you try to learn something new daily. And never doubt yourself because you, much like everyone else, deserve to take up space in this world. You just have to go for it,” he said.
