2024 The Dragon: CMO of Rising Tigers Magazine leads with vigor

Rising Tigers Magazine launched at 2022 on the year of the Tiger. The Magazine is currently the most distributed Leadership Magazine in the Philippines. The growth of the Magazine was due to the stories of the Top Business Leaders, Public Servants and Prominent figures of the country. In just two years, the Magazine expanded to more National Bookstore branches and successfully penetrated different industries in the Country. Philippine Airlines became one of its strongest partners, and now the Magazine is available in all Mabuhay Lounge as one of their many milestones.

As we enter 2024, Rising Tigers welcomes the year of the Wood Dragon. The dragon symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, and luck. It is a supernatural being with no parallel for talent and excellence.  

According to China Highlights, Because of the Dragons knowledge, power and capability, people are willing to take orders from them. They are best suited leaders of the world with their character traits of dominance and ambition. They are also ambitious, and have a strong drive to realize their dreams and they are adventurous. Once goals are settled, they will try their best to fight for success. Their eloquence and passion make their speech authoritative. They have another gift - their innate luck, which will help them achieve their goals. They are people of charm, so they can always win another's heart easily.

Rising Tigers CMO Andria Terese Nicolas invites all to embody the characteristics of a Dragon Leader.

"As we welcome the year of opportunities, we should embody the characteristics of a Dragon Leader. Imaginative, passionate, strong-willed,  and do everything in the best of all standards. They have no fear in challenges and has the heart to take risks.

I recently read the story of how the dragon ended up the fifth zodiac sign, despite the fastest, and deserving to be in the first, it was because he generously helped the other animals who experienced weather challenges in the race. Since the dragon is the only animal that can control the movement of the weather, he made sure everyone is safe throughout the race. The trait that the dragon has that is not usually popular is his heart to help."

"This year, you must have the strength to demonstrate exemplary leadership with the heart of generously helping others. In the end, you must have the fire within."

Rising Tigers Magazine welcomes the sole Imaginary animal. We invite everyone to lead with dominance, ambition, courage and compassion. 

"As we enter a New Year, we will be having monthly events and projects that will create visionary leaders and gather more people to join us in Nation Building. This will be a start of rapid change and you will definitely hear more about us, our 2024 will be full of Dragon Leaders. Let's make history and write it together."
