Passion or profession—which drives your vision? That was just one of the many inspiring reflections from Benedicta Du-Baladad, a true polymath and founding partner of member firm BDB Law, at our Global Women’s Leadership breakfast during Global Forum 2024. Known for her dedication both to her career and her creative pursuits, Benedicta inspired the room by sharing her journey as an accountant, lawyer, designer, artist—and proud mother of four. Benedicta’s recommendations for balancing life and leadership were as practical as they were empowering: ✅ Be selective about opportunities outside your firm. With career prominence comes numerous invitations to boards, committees, and more. Accept only those where you know you can make an impact. Guarding your reputation, she reminded us, means discerning what aligns with your purpose. ✅ Switch modes for different “seasons.” Benedicta shared that after major work accomplishments, she sometimes doesn’t show up in the office but rather devotes time to her four sons. Prioritizing her family, especially when work isn’t at its peak, keeps her fulfilled. ✅ Make time for your passions. Saturdays are “hers”—a day she spends making clothes, painting watercolors as gifts, and writing books. Pursuing what makes you whole and happy is not just rewarding; it’s essential. As she winds down her career, Benedicta’s focus is advocating for a stronger human capital base in the Philippines, recognizing the pivotal role of nurturing talent in a developing economy. With guidance from mentors and inspiration from her mother, Benedicta has crafted a path uniquely her own—one that honors both ambition and authenticity.
