Aside from her full-time work and her causes, Niña finds time to conduct workshops on leadership, empowerment, and writing. Her flagship course is Freelance Writing for Dummies, a one-and-a-half-day course that takes participants through the ins and the outs, the highs and the lows of freelance writing. It will soon have its third run in May 2009.

She also recently conducted the much-publicized Surreality workshop, together with “soul sisters” Carissa Villacorta and JV Wong. The workshop was based on the widely acclaimed book of the same name, by multi-awarded author Carissa Villacorta. It took participants through the process of believing, beginning, and becoming. A second run of the workshop is in the works, as well as media extensions on radio and TV.

Niña has also organized and conducted workshops on blogging, together with the advocacy groups Flippyknows and Team RP.
