The OneCORE Story
Pia Nazareno-Acevedo, a dynamic professional coach and performance management expert for over 21 years, founded The OneCORE in 2009, together with entrepreneur and radio/TV personality Pia Arroyo-Magalona. After meeting at a taping for GMA-7 Philippine Network TV’s The Sweet Life, both Pias strongly recognized the gaping need for a stronger ability to think, feel and act with clarity amidst the pressures and uncertainty of our day-to-day lives.
The OneCORE started off as a platform to drive a passion to continually educate the youth with life skills in the Philippines. It has widened into a full-fledged organization that champions transformation and offers the best tools and approaches to cater to the needs of individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations, not only in the Philippines, but also in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Paris and Rome.
