Recently engaged Donna Mae Congson brings her drive, expertise and professionalism to everything she does. 

 Her commitment to providing long-term cost-efficient, fun and productivity improvements for clients is an underlying goal as she manages her businesses (i.e. Piyesta Restobar & KTV, Envy Me Salon, Hairs & Nails Salon) day-to-day operations throughout General Santos City and Davao. 

Donna gained valuable experience from the ground up. From growing up in a their salon, where her mother always brings her along, to having worked way back in 2005, where she started out as a manager on a popular fast-food chain for 1 1/2 years, up until she stepped into her own business platform. This background fostered Donna’s firm understanding of what makes the ideal match between work and passion, employee and employer, knowledge and wisdom she leverages to benefit her businesses clients and employees.

Donna is active in the local community not only as an entrepreneur but also a recognised member of Legendz, a group of zumba instructors known to all fitness enthusiasts all over Gensan. She is also a member of SOX Bloggers and also a contributor at Gensan Gazer as a beauty writer. 

Juggling multiple business, dashing through hectic schedules, and yet Donna carries herself in a very optimistic and vibrant aura, just sitting next to her makes me feel all bubbly and giddy. When asked whats her secret, she replied, “I believe at the goodness in everyone. Karma, you get what you give. The chain reaction of one persons good deed that would echo and replicate through time. Good deeds that don’t ask anything in return.” a set of principles she learned from her mother, that she considers as the foundation of her being.

As a young entrepreneur myself, I look up to Donna, on how she manages business and personal matters. With that said, she gave me a piece of advice, “Start small, dream big. Enjoy!”, I have to admit I sometimes get too excited and want to rush to success, but she made me realise that its all  about learning and enjoying the journey, to successfully reach ones destination.

There is no stoping this super-lady, watch out this coming September as Donna and her crew are cooking up a Beauty Expo, to be held in both Davao and Gensan.
