EP104: SELF-AWARENESS: Fear Is The Opposite Of Love

Hey Chit Chatters! 

I hope you had the best Thanksgiving ever surrounded by friends and family. The past week has been exhausting and draining on all accounts. I have been processing the journey of my career as I start to transition out of my role at my current full time job and prepare to embark on a brand new journey in a different industry. 

All of the thoughts and emotions in my head and heart had me thinking about how scared I am to start something brand new. The unknown. The idea of not succeeding. What if I had it? Leaving something I love but also starting something new that I love. It’s certainly a lot to hold on to and not think about our let out. 

I began reflecting on my practice of emotional intelligence and how to assess and create awareness around the emotions, Fear and Love. Did you know the opposite of Fear is Love? Sounds crazy, right? Two emotions that can’t be any different from each other, but have so much power in how we control our emotions. The mind powers the fear and the heart powers the love. That battle can be tough if you don’t practice the emotional intelligence around it. 

Let’s dive into this episode and explore these two types of emotions and how you can work towards processing each of them. If you’re ready to step on that journey and create the space for emotional intelligence, I got you boo! Let’s jump on a discovery call and see what your brain is fighting and how your heart is feeling.

Hey Chit Chatters!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 3 of the show. This episode is a must listen to as it is probably the hardest episode I've ever had to record. You'll probably hear it in my voice that I am a little nervous sharing my story. 

As of late, I really haven't been well and I have been working on myself. I am working on being human and had take to sometime to figure out what that means. I start to be honest with my feels and how I ignored them for so long. I began to process some really heavy stuff that I haven't been able to let go. I also realized that it's okay to not always have it all figured out. 

I am coping with anxiety and depression that has hit me in a wave I never saw coming, but I also ignored. I ultimate pretended that what I was thinking and feeling couldn't be through until it consumed to a point where I had to let something go.  By March I finally asked for help because I was tired of how I was feeling and knew something was wrong. It was time to stop pretending everything was okay and start working to getting better.

I am grateful and blessed that I took that first step. I still have a long journey to go, but I am getting back to the things I love to do! 

I hope you take the time to listen and if this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone you think need to hear it. 

Love and Light,

José Miguel

EP 14. THE MILLENNIAL DEBT CRISIS & HOW IT IMPACTS YOU: Student Loans/Credit Card Debt, How to Gain Financial Freedom While Winning in Life with Gail Keyes Allen

This week’s episode is all about helping your mindset around money and having an honest conversation with yourself around student loan debt, credit card debt, loans all the things around DEBT & MONEY!!

If you listen in, you will hear us talk about how to build a relationship with money and what money really. 

Ideas on how to budget yourself and create a plan that has solid solutions and goals to solve the barriers and the challenges you are experiencing with money.

Gail sees debt as being “neutral” and chooses to decide how to view the debt in a positive vs. negative way. 

You need to look at the debt as opposed to ignoring it. Seek the help to learn how to come ups with a plan to resolve your debt and identify possible solutions to work with creditors on getting your debt paid.

Gail’s ideas around budgeting are surrounded by creating a budget that works around your life and your goals. 

• Pick 1 goal that you want to solve or obtain first.  
• Look at what you’re good at:
  • Can you teach something?
  • Can you sell something?
  • Can you get a side gig or side hustle?

The idea is if you want something bad enough and this is part of your goal, you will discover a way to to really reduce the barriers to overcome the mindset to achieve the win!

Here are some barriers to overcome around money

• You have to believe
• You have to use your talents
• You have to use your skills
• You need to create something

CHANGING THE MINDSET AROUND MONEY

Make it intentional! 

Think of all the ways you can make money. Write them down. Use your imagination. Use the power of affirmation, journaling and prayer to find what you can do!

Ask For It! Believe In It! Do It!

People argue for limitation: You have to believe that it is possible. People will convince themselves of the idea of not being able to do things. 

• Start with new thoughts
• Power of Affirmation
• Believing in yourself

Face It First

Head on, put it on paper

When you say you’re broke, you’re say you’re broken

If you’re saying your going to do it, Manifest it!

Put things in your budget that you enjoy! Things that can help you in your journey

Have a Money Date

Develop a relationship with money

Stop pretending that it’s not there 

Talk about it with people you can trust and who can help you make decisions that are part of your plan

4 Important Things to Get Started

1. Start your day and end your day with putting your thoughts and feelings on paper. Be sure to address the things that are bringing you down so you can start improving the relationship you have with yourself and with money

2. Start Believing in What You Want to Achieve

When you say it’s hard, you’re going to make it hard for yourself. Put out into the universe what you want to make happen to produce the positive energy that you want to get out of the universe for your life! 

3. No Matter What it is YOU Need to Show Up For YOU

Get yourself Unstuck to get yourself out of the way to shift and change the mindset

4. Use Your Skills & Talents To Go in The Right Direction

Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what your skills are? 

What are your talents? What do you have to give to the world that can help you make money? 

ASK FOR HELP! It’s important to be able to get out of your own way to get the help you need to be able to achieve your money goals.

Come back soon for some great shownotes!

EP94: YOUR EXPERIENCE, GIFTS, SKILLS & TALENTS: Ways to Use Them to Build a Business & Make Money

Hello Chit Chatters!

Welcome back to another episode of Coaching for Millennials! 

In this episode I am going deep in helping you all see how valuable your experiences, gifts, skills, and talents are! We all have a God given talent that the world is waiting for us to share with the world. 

RIGHT NOW...we are experiencing a need and urge to uncover how we can live and work more authentically to our purpose and find more joy. 

Using your experience, gifts, skills and talents are pivotal to helping you feel where you should be heading next in your journey of life. Your career doesn't have to define what you do for work nor should it make you feel like you can't pivot and change your mind. Using these skills, experiences, talents, etc. should empower you to find a way to uncover your authentic self while seeing how you can make money using your own gifts and talents. 

The point is, our world and economy has been forever changed by the pandemic, whether you lost your job because of, realized how miserable you were or are in it or realize it's time to live more authentically, you can put to use all of that knowledge and experience into building something meaningful and impactful.

Listen to this episode and let me know if it resonates with you. If it brought you value (and I hope it did) share it with the world! 

As always, I offer a free discovery call to anyone who is ready to make money moves and I mean really, let's make money moves for you! Below is the link to my Calendly to jump into one of my sessions.

Show Notes: Episode 4- From Drained and Bleh to Energized in 7 minutes with Guest Benjamin Fritz, May 14

Today we have a special guest on our show, my friend Ben Fritz! Ben is the creator of “The Creative Energy Shift”, which we will talk about on the show today and he is also a fellow podcast host, “Why The World Needs You”. You can find Ben’s bio and social contact info below.

Today’s show is going to be about coaching and what coaching means. You’ll learn how to get inspired, motivated and how to learn to shift your mindset.

Ben shares his story on how he had a career change in his life and how his original plans after college changed him and his career. Throughout his journey he realized his passion and knew he needed to make a shift.

Early on in his college education he went for the career that led him to the money versus the path of his passion and purpose. He shares how it changed him and how his transition from a computer science programmer to fitness trainer to life coach as impacted his view on life.

We talked about how money is a resources but can hurt you when you let it be the sole factor in deciding your career and your future path.

We shifted our conversation to The Creative Energy Shift (CES). Ben believes that we each have a creative gift that we need to be giving the world.  The CES was born out of working with clients and people who are often working in careers that they are often not happy in or are too scared leaving their job. Minute 18:00

Making a risky changes while still keeping a job that can be consistent and stable. However when you want to create another world of work like a side hustle or gig you end up drained at the end of the day before you can even begin to get to put dinner at the table.  

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE SHIFT

Two states, creative state and survival state. We all have things we need to do in our lives to get where we want to be. It’s hard to step into the person we want to become. Ben created this while working with his clients in harnessing the power of mindset, visualization and body to create a place this much light and more productive.

HOW WE LET FEAR TAKE OVER FROM REACHING OUR GOAL

Fear changes our mindset and always keeps us in the survival mode. Sometimes we are so scared to disappoint the people around us and trying to battle everything that we are dealing with like money, relationships, imposter syndrome, etc. Minute 22:00

SHIFTING THE CONVERSATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Often we are asked at a young age, what do you want to do when you grow up? How can we know who we want to be when we are still trying to tie our shoes? It’s important to shift the conversation to learning to develop skills, understanding our values and using the strengths that we developed and are part of our unique personality and style to apply it to the world of work and future career. Using the conversation to really gather information and learn more about who we are meant to be.  Minute 28:40

WHERE DO YOU FIND A COMMUNITY AND HOW DO YOU BUILD ONE?

Depending on what you want and where you are looking there are tons of communities and group to join and be part of that help you in your personal and professional life. Sometimes a community can lift you up and help you find your happy and your gift. We all have one and we have to work to find it.

Ben says “hear the voice inside you and don’t let it hold you back. That little voice is the true you and what is urging you to do the things you are meant to do.” He shares that he works with people who are often stuck and are looking for a place to connect. He uses his podcast to create that space and share the journey that people have lived with and their life experience.

HOW TO FIND BEN?

Bio

Ben is a life coach whose mission is to empower difference-makers to realize their potential, do the work they want to in the world, and create a life of freedom & fulfillment. Ben believes that we all have a unique gift and contribution to make to the world. There is no time to waste - the world needs you!

Ben appreciates the simple things in life: good food, good company, and the feeling of the warm sun on his skin. He simply loves feeling alive.

EP 19: HOW TO QUIT YOUR DAY JOB & LAUNCH YOUR COACHING PRACTICE: Tips & Tricks to Take Your Career Shift to The Next Level with Krystal Hicks, JOBTALK, LLC.

In this episode my good friend Krystal Hicks shares her story of how she took the big step of leaving a full-time job to lead a more fulfilling life as a Career Strategist/Coach. 

Let me start by saying that this career shift didn’t come from disliking her full-time. It was the complete opposite! Krystal loved her job. She took her experience and passion to the next level. In search for a more meaningful path that was self-operated, fueled with purpose and having the ability to do it her way she launched JOBTALK, LLC. 

Now, don’t go running so fast to submit your resignation. It’s important that as you think about starting this new journey and writing this chapter you take the time plan, save, and hold yourself accountable. 

You Need To Map a Plan

Understand your values

Understand what your values mean to you

Find what full-fills you

What are you passionate about?

What do you feel is your purpose?

How will you make money

These are just some of the questions and thoughts you should be considering as you start to embark in the process of becoming self-employed.

The most important questions you should ask yourself is how will you serve and who will you serve? 

Answering these questions will help you gain clarity on who your avatar is and identify their pain point. 

Listen to Krystal’s story and journey that is so relatable and realistic to how anyone who has the dream to have their own business can have their own business. But you have to take risks, lean in with courage, learn what you’re worth and create the opportunity for yourself. 

We talk about money, expenses, start-up costs, and more. 

About Krystal  & How to Connect

Originally from Dover, NH,  Krystal graduated from UNH in 2007 with a BA in Journalism. As a born-and-raised Seacoaster, she stayed in the area and accidentally began her career in the employment sector when she fell backwards into an administrative role at a staffing firm in Portsmouth. She fell in love with the industry and soon moved into a Staffing Manager role, before transitioning into higher education career services. She obtained her Masters in Higher Education Leadership and returned to UNH, eventually becoming their Director of Career Services.  In 2016, Krystal was recruited by Lindt Chocolate USA and became their U.S. Recruitment Manager where she hired more than 220 people in 3+ years across all corporate functions of their U.S Headquarters.  Missing her career counseling roots, Krystal departed Lindt in April 2019 to launch JOBTALK, a career counseling practice that provides one-on-one job hunting support to individuals in transition, as well as employer branding consulting to companies.

Krystal also spent three years facilitating a pre-release employment program for inmates at the Strafford County Department of Corrections in Dover, and in 2017, was recognized as one of the Seacoast’s “10 to Watch" winners; a NH-based contest that recognizes young professionals who are active in the community and working towards economic development in the Seacoast.  She currently resides in Portsmouth, NH, and continues to teach her course, “College to Career: How to stand out in today’s job market” to undergraduate business students at UNH.

EP48: WHAT’S YOUR TOP 5? Harnessing The Power of Your Strengths, Skills & Talents to Build Your Passion & Discover Your Purpose

Hello my Chit Chatters & Millies!

In this week’s episode I am uncovering a tool that I have been using for over a decade with my clients and students to help them in your journey of academics, career and beyond. 

This tool is called StrengthsQuest. It is an assessment that helps individuals uncover themes of talent to guide them in developing their skills and strengths and focus on how to be successful in all elements of their lives. As a Career & Life Coach, I have been using my own Top 5 themes to work with my clients, learn what their challenges and pain points are and how I can successfully support them in solving their problems. 

I’ve committed myself to using my top 5 in all facets of my career, life, relationships and business. I truly believe that one someone uncovers their strengths and is able to understand how to use them, grow them and nurture them they have the ability to live to their full potential.

If you’re on a journey and on a path of seeking clarity to uncover your talents and want to learn more about your strengths let’s connect! You have the ability to enhance your life, career, relationship and family, why not take an hour to dig deep and uncover it?

EP 17.  3 TOOLS TO HELP YOU DIG DEEPER IN DISCOVERING YOUR PATH: The Tools of Personality, Career, and Strengths Assessment To Help You Gain Clarity in Life, Career and Business with Jacqueline Wallace 

In this episode my good friend Jackie and I take a deep dive on the top 3 tools to help you dig deeper in discovering your path and passion. These are all the things that influence your values, interests, skills and passion. 

StrengthsQuest

MBTI Myers Briggs

Strong Interest Inventory

When it comes to all of these assessments, the most important and influential piece after taking them is to connect in having a meaningful conversation.

These tools are intended to help an individual gain clarity and influence making informed decisions on their career, life, and goals.

Carl Jung: “We can learn a lot about ourselves by what annoys us about others!

StrengthsQuest

The language is based on themes of talent to align knowledge of skills to apply to life, working everyday with people and getting lost in what you're doing.

Having unique conversations leads us to appreciate and acknowledge people’s strengths and helps people process and learn how to own their unique talents and themes.

MBTI

Lots of data involved in Myers Briggs that can help individuals work better in a team. Being able to get a better understanding from the different dichotomies with the 16 different possibilities and the 4 different attributes. Learning about people and their traits will help you find ways to work with others who have different types.

Strong Interest Inventory

Focused on John Holland’s theory of Career Development. His theory was based on themes of Realistic, Investigative,Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional (RIASEC). The report for this assessment allows you to explore a variety of different areas such as someone's hobbies and interests. It’s important to look at the combination of the 2 themes and being able to see how they work with each other.

Words of Wisdom from Jackie: Taking any of these assessments will help you learn the steps you can take next. She advises individuals who take the assessment to have a conversation with someone that can help you process what the results mean. Help you move along in gaining clarity and making decisions about life and career. These tools offer you the opportunity to engage in the meaningful conversations that will help you connect with the different values, the language and themes.

ABOUT JACKIE

Jackie has worked at SUNY Oswego since 2002, several of those years in Residence Life & Housing and first year programming before transitioning to first year advisement in 2008 and career services in 2010. She is a proud alumna of SUNY Oswego the Career Coach for the "Education, Public & Human Services" Industry in Career Services.

EP61: UNCOVERING YOUR STRENGTH SERIES: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 3- Conectedness

Hey Chit Chatters!

Welcome to session 3 of our series Uncovering Your Strengths: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future! Today's Guest is Dillon Waggoner and she is sharing with us her favorite theme of her top 5 of Connectedness. 

The theme/strength of Connectedness lives under the Domain of Relationship Building. This theme is centered around people who have faith in all the things. They believe that very little things are coincidental and almost everything happens for a reason. Individuals who have the talent of connectedness have a strong sense of responsibility that is closely aligned with their values system. They believe in the unity of humankind and they build bridges between people of different identities and culture.  

My conversation with Dillon on his Strength of Connectedness and why it is his favorite was so much fun. I learned a lot of how this strength has impacted him and how it has changed his life. Be sure to listen to different facets of this strength and how he has owned it! 

About Dillon

Dillon is a career coach in higher education. He works with students and alumni one-on-one to discuss career topics, exploration, and professional growth. He is interested in incorporating fun and games into personal growth and learning, and loves using powerful tools like Strengths to foster that growth and self awareness.

He is a career coach at a university (Ball State in Indiana), where he works with students one-on-on, present on various career topics, and make meaningful connections and programs. He is passionate about growth, games, creativity, and fun.

EP79: KNOWING YOUR WORTH: Salary Negotiations, Asking For a Raise & More

Hello Chit Chatters! 

I have to start by saying that I am so grateful for all of you who are loyal listeners and to those who have come and hung out for one episode here and there, and those who lurk around trying to figure out if this show is for you! I am blessed to have all of you listen and I thank you for that!

In this week's episode, I want to share some tips on uncovering your worth and how to go about the conversation on salary negotiation, asking for a raise, knowing when it's time to leave, and lastly not doubting your decision in any of these situations. 

First and foremost, you matter and you are unique, talented and special in every way. You have a unique God given gift and talent that is waiting to be shared with the world. If you have found that through your work and are happy with where you are, great! Continue on your journey of personal and professional development, BUT remember GROWTH doesn't stop because you've reached a level that makes you feel accomplished and successful. 

The beauty of what we are experiencing and living with during the #GreatResignation is that people are taking the time to reflect on what matters most to them and defining the values that they are not willing to sacrifice for any job or career. Oh and you should NOT feel guilty or ashamed for making these decisions. PERIOD!

Now if you're listening to this episode, be sure to bring your pen and paper to take notes, because I share some tactics that will help you in negotiating your salary in a new job or promotion, how to ask for a salary increase or raise and uncovering when it's time to make the change into a new opportunity or career. 

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

EP85: The Mindset Shift: Clarifying Your Mindset & Creating Positivity

What is happening Chit Chatters?!

Welcome to another episode of coaching for millennials. Today I want to bring you a short, brief and motivating and inspiring episode. 

I've been feeling so inspired and motivated by all the things that have been happening around me and the conversations I'm having. I always base my episodes and my conversations on the podcast on what's happening around us in the world and what I'm feeling and the conversations I'm having with people. 

I know sometimes we as human beings are in our own heads. And we always have that little voice in our heads that has a tendency of sabotaging ourselves and kind of shifting our mindset and our belief, and this is where me as a life coach comes in. I help people in shifting that mindset, but also hold people accountable to knowing that they're important and valuable in their own word and their own mind and their own voice.

In this episode, I want to just briefly talk to you a little bit about how that shift in mindset can help you 10 times more, when you're being aware of it and when it's happening. 

GIVEAWAY ALERT!!

To celebrate our 10,000 Download milestone, I am giving away 1 month of FREE coaching!!

To win this package here's what you need to do..

Since I can remember interviewing was always one of my favorite things to do! I know, I am a true dork! BUT..I always felt energized by the idea to answer questions about myself because no one knows you better than YOU!

One of the most important parts about interviewing is that it's just a conversation. Whether you're in an interview with one person or a group, it is about you sharing your brightest moments and being able to let others get to know you. Learn about your skills, values, and experiences. 

You should always remember that you're interviewing them too just as much as they're interviewing you! You want to make sure these folx jive with you and that the feel of the environment and culture of the organization matches your style and your energy. If you're doing a remote interview, ask questions about the work environment and how they would describe it. 

HERE ARE MY TOP 11 TIPS FOR ACING THE INTERVIEW

1. Review the Job Description

• This is critical to help you understand what they expect of you in the role. The job description has the day to day responsibilities that you should anticipate if you were hired. 
• A question you can ask is, "What are some challenges you expect your ideal candidate to have in this role?" If their response is way off from the job description then you know you need to ask more questions. 

2. Why Are You Interviewing? Are You Qualified For The Job?

• You're probably wondering why this would be important. Truth is sometimes we get too deep into the job search process and don't always ask ourselves if this job is going to be a good fit. You want to make sure that the company truly where you see yourself spending your precious time. 

3. Research The Company, Culture, What They Do and The Job!

• DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! As I mentioned in the podcast you have to be on your "A" game to answer questions about the organization. Get a feel for who they are and what they do. 

4. Create Practical Questions To Ask In Your Interview

• You can google some questions to ask, but I think you should do your homework to get a better sense. Be mindful of how many questions you ask.

5. Practice Your Posture, Body Language and Speaking

• Work on this with a friend or family member. This is important. You want to seem engaged and ready to work!

6. Consider How You Would Answer Behavioral Interview Questions

• Most interviews are behavioral. This means the questions are shaped around a situation that you need to share your experience. 
• Typically you're asked to provide examples of how you handled a situation. 
  • I would encourage most people to review the STAR method
    • Situation
    • Task
    • Action
    • Result
  • This is a common way to provide the interviewer with all details related to their question. 
  • A good way of practicing is by reviewing the responsibilities in the job description and thinking of scenarios that may arise from those duties.

7. Conduct a Practice OR Mock Interview

• Practice doesn't make perfect always, but helps you to relax be more comfortable in the situation and handle the conversation more smoothly

8. Prepare Your Resume

• Most companies have your resume before you arrive. BUT don't always expect that they will. Be sure to ask during the time of scheduling your interview who you should anticipate to meet with. Or ask how many people. 
• If you don't get a response, bring a minimum of 5 copies of your resume with you

9. Day Prior to Interview: Review Details of Location/Time/Attire

• A practice run is always ideal for travelling to an interview. Get familiar with your location and how much time it takes to travel. Arrive 10-15 minute prior to your interview.
• If your interview is remote, great! Be sure to look fresh and groomed (good lighting and professional attire)
• Business Professional is always BEST for an interview. Unless otherwise noted by the employer, you should ALWAYS plan to dress in a suite of sorts. You can google Business Professional for some suggestions. 
• Stick to neutral colors, no patterns or flash colors.

10. Sell Yourself- They Want to Get to Know You!

• The most common incorrectly answered interview question is, "tell us about yourself" People miss the opportunity for a connection to be developed. Really tell them who you are!

11. Follow-Up!

• Send a thank you email or note within 24-48hours your interview. Be sure to highlight critical points of the conversation. 

12K Giveaway

 I recently made an announcement on social media that I was doing a 12K giveaway of my own money to help 3 people for 3 months to help them in their careers and lives. These are 3 exclusive spots in my coaching program and I still have room 1 more! If you think you need this in your life and want to see if you qualify, comment to the post on Facebook:

Welcome back to another powerful episode, everyone! Today, we're diving deep into a transformative concept that can dramatically reshape your life – the interwoven nature of your mindset and the incredible potential of manifestation. If you're ready to take control of your thoughts, beliefs, and create the reality you deserve, you're in the right place. Let's get started!

Mindset: What It Is and How It Works

• Definition of Mindset: Your mindset is an established set of beliefs and attitudes that shape how you see the world. Think of it like a pair of glasses – the lenses you use determine how situations and opportunities appear.
• Mindset Matters: Your mindset impacts everything you do. It influences your motivation, resilience, the way you handle challenges, and even how you perceive yourself. If you want to change outcomes, shift your mindset first.
• Growth vs. Fixed Mindset: Research made popular by Dr. Carol Dweck suggests we often fall into one of two categories:
  • Fixed mindset: Belief that talent and ability are set, leading to avoidance of challenges and a sense of stagnation.
  • Growth mindset: Belief that you can develop and expand abilities with practice and dedication, leading to embracing obstacles and a love of learning.

Developing Your Mindset: Facts and Action

• Fact #1 – It Takes Work: Our mindsets are forged over time through experiences and messages we internalize. They're not set in stone. Changing them requires conscious effort.
• Fact #2 – Neuroplasticity: This is the amazing ability of your brain to reorganize itself. With repetition and focus, you literally rewire your brain for a new mindset.
• Develop It – How?
  • Challenge limiting beliefs: When you hear that inner critic ("I'm not good enough," etc.) examine the evidence. Are those thoughts really true?
  • Reframe negativity: Turn "I can't" into "I can't YET." Focus on growth, not limitations.
  • Empowering vocabulary: Choose words that reflect resilience, possibility, and ownership.

Mindset's Connection to Manifestation

• Manifestation 101: Manifestation means bringing your desires into reality, aligning your thoughts, energy, and actions for specific outcomes. It taps into the power of focused intention.
• Energy is Key: Your mindset determines your vibrational frequency. High vibes (joy, gratitude) attract positive experiences; low vibes (doubt, fear) manifest more of the same.
• Your Beliefs Create Your Reality: If you subconsciously believe you're unworthy of love, for example, amazing partners won't just appear. Your mindset sets the stage for what you manifest.

Embracing Manifestations' Power

• Why It Matters: Because you are a co-creator of your life, not just a passive observer. Manifestation empowers you, making you active in designing your ideal future.
• Busting a Myth: Manifestation is not magic. It IS about focused intention and work, but life isn't a vending machine. Sometimes, it takes unexpected twists on the way to your goal.

Manifestation: Call to Action

• Clarity is King (or Queen): Get crystal-clear on what you want, not just what you DON'T want.
• Visualize & Feel: Imagine your desire as if it's already real. Engage the emotions you'll feel when you have it.
• Inspired Action: Don't just sit around waiting. Take aligned steps towards your goals – big and small!

Show Notes

Dr. Dweck's research about the power of mindset: https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/

What I am reading: "Your Queer Career" Dr. Steven R. Yacovelli

Positive Affirmation

"My mind is powerful. I choose thoughts that uplift, inspire, and align with my highest goals. I am a magnet for all that is good."

Thanks for joining me! Remember, your mindset is your superpower. Harness it, align it with manifestation, and watch your world transform. Until next time, keep shining bright! #mindset #manifestation #growthmindset #manifest #growth #clarity #belief #life #purpose #career #passion #future #change #millennial #work #beliveinyou #coach #coaching 

EP84: Celebrating 10,000 Downloads & A Special Giveaway!

What's going on Chit Chatter so in the intro, I mentioned that I have a special little giveaway and we're celebrating. And so I'm excited to share with you that we have actually reached over 10,000 downloads of the podcast, which is such an amazing, amazing feat. I want to celebrate this with you because it is something that I never even thought could happen. I mean, of course I thought it could happen. But it wasn't something that I hadn't been thinking about. And to be quite honest, the show has been in existence since April of 2020. So we're literally 15 and a half months into the show. And to have 10,000 downloads to me means the world. So for you as listeners, I'm so so grateful for you!

Thank you so much for supporting me, supporting this community that we've created together for listening in, and being part of the show. You know, every week that I bring a new episode and I bring new guests is really to support a community of people who need to hear what the world is seeing what the world is feeling, and being able to share topics about things that we're actually living through and feeling and things that people may want to explore. 

I'm so grateful and blessed to have all of you listeners who have stuck with me for the last year and a half and have been part of the show. I also want to mention that for anybody who is out there that has listened to the show, maybe you've listened to one episode, maybe you've listened to five episodes, and you've got something out of that. That, to me, is important because you may not listen to every episode because maybe it doesn't resonate with you or the content isn't for you. What I'm trying to get at with this whole entire rant that I'm going on, is that if there's something that you truly wish to want to do and accomplish, you can do it and you have to just set your heart on a goal and make sure you stick with it. This podcast was something that I had talked about for years!! Finally in the middle of the pandemic I said I'm going to launch it, I want to do it, and I did it really messy, and I did it with all my heart and the show has grown so much!

You know we originally started with a name of chit chat with Jose Miguel which is why I still say hey chatters, but also I went through a rebrand, I launched my coaching practices, and then came the clients and then all of the different packages. So much came from launching this podcast. And so much growth has happened in the last year and a half. The point is, if you're, if you're someone who has a goal, or wish or a dream that you're looking to achieve, that you want to actually make happen, don't let other things in your life get in the way of actually achieving your dreams and achieving your goals. 

Everything that you want to do in your life is absolutely 100% possible, you just have to have the right mindset, you have to have the right support systems. The most important thing is you have to believe in yourself, you have to believe in yourself to know that you are capable and 100% able to do what you want, the journey to get there. To actually get to that level that you want to be may not be easy, but everyone has the ability to pursue it. I shouldn't even say but, it's all about you not giving up on yourself. I had moments in time where the podcast to me was just like, I'm just gonna  talk and say things that maybe are going to connect with people. And maybe they won't, and never in my brightest days or my worst of days did I think that we would be at 10,000 downloads. It's such an amazing thing to celebrate! 

Ultimately it shows that there are people out there who are hearing what I'm sharing and hearing the episodes week in and week out, and it's resonating with them. That's what's most important. As long as I know that there are people out there who are getting value out of what we're talking about and the conversations we're sharing, I'm going to continue to grow the podcast. Thank you so much for the support. I can't thank you enough. I'm so grateful. 

Now, I mentioned something about celebrating. So to celebrate this amazing achievement, I'm going to give away a free month of coaching. I did this before when we hit 5000 downloads last fall. And I'm doing this again. Because I always believe that coaching is something that people are always scared to actually take the leap into going into, because they may not think that it's right for them. This is an opportunity for someone who may have listened to the podcast, or who may have not heard the podcast and may find this post on social media for you to explore and kind of dig your feet into coaching. 

Let me explain a little bit about what this giveaway actually entails. So basically, it's a free month of coaching. And what that means is that for four weeks, I will meet with one person, so it's one month for one person, one day each week, okay, for an hour session. I will provide the person with support via text WhatsApp Messenger, in addition to email or phone calls outside of that one hour session. This means that this will be a deep dive into understanding what the person is really looking to do if you've never explored coaching. And let's say you're someone who's looking for clarity or you're feeling stuck, or maybe you're a person who's looking to expand your career and need support with trying to figure out what your next move is. Or you're going through some changes in your life and you're not really sure what that means. Coaching is for you! 

The type of coaching that I do is accountability, it's career, it's helping people who are going through change in their lives and not sure where they want to go, what they want to do, or what they want to be. It's also helping people get a job and getting clarity and how to define what their next move is. So there's a lot of things in my realm of expertise and what I do in my umbrella of coaching that I can support someone. It's a great opportunity for you to get an understanding if coaching is for you and if you want to explore it further. I actually have an FAQ page set up on my website that can help someone understand what coaching is and what coaching means. 

Here is how the giveaway is going to work!

#1.  Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Music, and Spotify. So if you haven't subscribed to the show yet, let's get you subscribed. That is how you will get alerts when a new episode airs. I have always committed to bringing a new episode at least one new episode a week, I'm working towards the goal of being consistent with doing two a week. It's hard when you have a full time job, and you have coaching practice and other things. BUT it is something that I'm working towards and I really, really want to commit to that. So, number one is you need to subscribe to the podcast. Again, the podcast is on Apple Music on Spotify, and it's on other platforms, but the ones that I'm looking for people to subscribe to specifically are Apple and Spotify because I can check them very easily. So that's the first thing you need to do in order to participate in this giveaway. 

#2. You need to write a review! Reviews are very important to the show. It's how people who are searching for different podcasts or different categories will understand if this podcast is for them. If you've listened to an episode that was really valuable to you, and it gave you some purpose, or you shared it with the world, writing a review is going to help the show grow, but also for other listeners to understand what the show is all about. So number two is write a review. It means the world to me when people write reviews, and if you love the show, why not do it. So that's number two. You can write your review in Apple Podcasts( Apple Music). For some reason Apple is the reigning supreme where podcasts categories and reviews are ranked (don't ask me why..lol) If you don't have an Apple account or Apple Music as a friend or family member to do this for you. I am not an Apple user, (Android Fan for Life!) but I have an Apple Music account.  

#3. Take a screenshot of your review, and share it on Instagram stories and Facebook. YOU MUST tag me in order for me to know that you actually did this step, I can always go back to look at the reviews of the show on Apple Music and I can go back to look to see if people said anything on my channel on Spotify. However, in order for me to know that you did step 3, which is taking the screenshot of the review, and sharing it on social media on your stories, that is how I'm going to know that you've completed steps one through three. Okay, so you need to tag me when you go to share it on your stories, you need to share it on your Instagram stories, and Facebook stories. So take a screenshot of that review! 

#4. Last one...Tag someone who you think should listen to the podcast. One of the things that's really important about sharing a community and growing community is being able to share the show with people who you think will need to be inspired. Tag a friend, tag a family member, or tag a colleague, it doesn't matter who you tag, just tag someone, okay? It's important because that will ultimately allow more listeners to come to the show, and help engage a larger audience of guests and be able to bring better content. 

Last day to enter the giveaway is Wednesday, September 15. The winner will be announced on Thursday, September 16 via social media (instagram & facebook). I'll also announce the winner on the podcast  episode that airs on Friday, September 17.

 Wait there is more.... BONUS!!!

I always love referrals! Referrals are important and it's how I have actually grown my coaching practice. For anyone, you refer to one of the coaching packages that we have available. If someone signs up and pays for a package, you will get one free hour of coaching in addition to the 4 sessions you could win! So that means it's a bonus for you to be able to share with the world and share with your friends, family colleagues, that you're entering into this giveaway, and let people know, hey, if you buy a coaching package you can get a free hour of coaching, in addition to the giveaway. So that means that if you win the giveaway, you will get five, maybe six depending on how many people sign up for coaching sessions. That's always something also to look forward to.

At any rate, I'm going to stop ranting now because this episode was meant to be really short to just celebrate! Thank you so much. I have so much love for all of you as my community as my listeners. I appreciate you. And I really appreciate the continuous support that you've given me and the podcast and to the show throughout the last year and a half. Thank you so much, and I can't wait for the next episode. All my love. XO!

EP68: UNCOVERING YOUR STRENGTH SERIES: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 5- Connectedness + Deliberative

Hi Chit Chatters! 

Welcome to session 5 of our series Uncovering Your Strengths: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future! Today's Guest is Christy Huyhn and she is sharing with us her favorite theme of her top 5 of Connectedness and diving deep in on Deliberative. 

There is so much to unpack in this episode. For starters, Christy hadn’t connected how deeply connected she is to her Connectedness. She knew it was her favorite theme, but after I read Gallup's definition of it she got a little emotional seeing how much of her life is surrounded by this theme. She’s been a practicing coach and fan favorite of the platform since 2005 and although she is an expert at teaching strengths based education and career development, she hadn’t spent a lot of time seeing the impact of her strengths in her own life and career.  When we switched gears to chat about Deliberative it became more about her work and how she has had to pivot in the way she connects to people and the things she needs and expects from them because she is responsible for some many areas. 

My conversation with Christy on her Strengths of Connectedness & Deliberative and why it is her favorite was so much fun. I learned a lot of how this strength has impacted her and how it has changed her life. Be sure to listen to different facets of this strength and how she has owned it! 

Christy’sTop 5 Themes/Strengths: 

Achiever, Input, Empathy, Deliberative, Connectedness

Who Is Christy?

Christy Huynh was first introduced to strengths in 2005. Since then she has worked to incorporate a strengths-based approach in all aspect of her work including developing a course, "Exploring Your Strengths" for exploratory students, facilitating leadership and team building workshops and infusing strengths into her career coaching and supervisory roles. Currently she is the Interim Dean of Students at SUNY Oswego.

EP74: PRIDE: Celebrating LGBTQ+ A Look at My Identity, Community & Family 

Hello Chit Chatters!

Happy Pride Month! June is always a special month for me and for the millions of LGBTQ+ Allies who celebrate love, community and equality. 

In this episode I am sharing my coming out story and how I formed my identity as a Gay Latinx, what it's like to understand your own identity and what it means for me as Gay Man.

I also share with you some tips on looking for your community in the LGBTQ+ scene. All of us in the world want to be seen, heard and belong. This is even more important when you're trying to discover your identity and having a community that you can connect with and trust. 

Then there is family. Family is always hard for any LGBTQ+ person. The journey is tough even after you feel fully comfortable in your own skin to remain confident in who you are and optimistic about being in spaces free of judgement and fear. Having a community and family that is your chosen family can bring you peace, love and warmth. 

This episode is where I am truly vulnerable in sharing parts of my coming out story, the evolution of uncovering my LGBTQ identity and being happy and loved by me. 

Listen in and let me know what you think. This one is for all of us, because love is love and equality should be a right for all!

EP46: HOW TO JUMP START YOUR JOB SEARCH IN 2021: 6 Tips to Get You Seen & Hired

Welcome back Chit Chatter! 

In today’s episode I am going deep in the steps of how to maximize your time while job searching. We all know that job searching can be very daunting, stressful and even boring. 

My tips in this episode are here to make your life and your time efficient and easy. If you’re on the hunt for a new position in 2021 make sure that you know what type of work you’re seeking. This will help you understand what keywords to use when searching in the job boards such as LinkedIn and Indeed. 

Here are my top 6 tips!

1. Update Your Resume
   1. You want to make sure that your resume is screaming HIRE ME! This means going through your experience and professional development line by line.
2. Tailor and Customize Your Resume to Match the Job
   1. The most important and critical document in your job search process is your resume. Yes, you need to change your resume EVERY TIME YOU APPLY.
   2. Trick #1: Create a master version of your resume that has all of your work experience of the past 7-10 years. Be sure to be detailed in every position you help and professional positions. This will help shorten your time in creating the custom resume for the new job you’re applying to. 
   3. Go through the job description of the job you want to apply for. Highlight  every responsibility and qualification that you know you can do. Write an example of how you can perform these tasks and duties in the margin or in your word doc. 
   4. Use the keywords for the job description to add into your resume. These are searchable. Keywords are action words or phrases describing and action or event that are included in the description to help hiring managers and recruiters filter through applicants much quicker. You want these in your resume and cover letter. 
   5. Keep this in a safe space, I have every single version of a resume I’ve ever written since they invented flash drives! HA! You never know when it’s time to pull up an old relic.
3. Update Your LinkedIn Profile
   1. Your LinkedIn profile is your resume on steroids. It’s your resume that never sleeps and it is the place where you can get seen by recruiters and potential employers. 
   2. Use keywords from your resume and the job descriptions you found to sprinkle throughout your profile. 
   3. Update your headline to “actively seeking employment in BLANK industry.” Look for similar headlines amongst other LinkedIn users
   4. The idea is that your profile needs to scream HIRE ME! HIRE ME!
4. Start Engaging in Networking
   1. LinkedIn is the largest social media networking platform. With over 500 Million active users, LinkedIn is the place to stand out and get seen!
   2. Start to search for recruiters or people in the industry or field your interested in getting hired. This is how you can start to find people and then send them a customized invitation to join their network. 
   3. The connections you’re establishing are going to help you develop relationships and learn from those individuals who are hiring or can connect you to folks who are. 
   4. Customizing your invitation is critical to getting accepted on someone’s network. You will want to make sure you tailor a message to the person you want to connect with BEFORE YOU SEND THE INVITATION!
5. Join Groups, Create Posts & Share Info
   1. Similar to other social media platforms, you want to get noticed. LinkedIn has an algorithm that allows its users to be visible. Create a post that catches your network’s attention
   2. Share articles and resources that people share and comment on
   3. Comment on other people’s posts so you can create engagement and draw attention to your profile
6. The Cover Letter
   1. As annoying as they may be to write, a cover letter is an essential tool in the job search process. Writing one can be tedious, but if you follow the 4 steps I outlined in the podcast you should be a wiz at writing them in no time. 

If you or someone you know needs assistance with their resume, their cover letter or LinkedIn profile, send them my way! My Job Search Pivot (JSP) program is a slam dunk to get you hired! Head over to my website, www.coachingwithjosemiguel.com for details on purchasing this package. 

IF you found value in this episode, do me a favor, leave a review on Apple Podcast and now on Podchaser.com. It would mean the world to me!

Until Next Time!

EP39: PRIDE LEADERSHIP: How to Be a More Inclusive Leader & Create a Culture Where People Can Belong with Steve Yacovelli

In this episode you’re going to hear some amazing tips and processes to help anyone who is seeking to be a leader or identifies as one to learn to develop competencies and traits a leader should have and the most important trait every effective leader should hold. 

One of the many important takeaways from this episodes is for people who are looking to a strong leader and one who is truly inclusive, you must 

• Think In
• Speak Up
• Act Out

Listen in for more on this throughout our conversations and in the book. 

For Millennials, there are some great points on how to be a leader when you’re struggling. One of the strategies is to not amp up your leadership courage (this is part of a chapter in the book), but to think how you’re engaging and listening to your leader and them doing the same to you! 

At the core of being a successful inclusive leader you should develop the following 6 competencies one at a time:

• Authenticity
• Courage
• Empathy
• Communication
• Culture

Leadership is all about building relationships. Relationships are built through communication, but also have the courage to talk about things that make us uncomfortable. That courage will help establish trust. 

At the very root of that foundation leadership in its most purest form is TRUST!

Effective listening is also a critical foundation to be able to support others in various landscapes of the workplace. To be a better leader you need to be an ally to somebody, show up for them. Look for ways to be a champion for others. 

Steve’s Book: Pride Leadership: Strategies for the LGBTQ + Leader to Be The King or Queen of their Jungle give Queer people who are often identified as other an opportunity to show up in many spaces and demonstrate leadership. It allows those seeking to be strong leaders a way to learn and take action on developing the 6 foundational competencies of leadership. 

The book is intended to be read but also asking the reader to actively participate and take action while reading and learning. It is a guide that includes a workbook to help anyone grow as a leader. 

To purchase the book you can go to: https://www.amazon.com/Pride-Leadership-Strategies-Leader-Jungle/dp/1946384674/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EDKNI6Y4OK29&dchild=1&keywords=steve+yacovelli&qid=1606894877&sprefix=Steve+Yaco%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-1

EP 36: Celebrating Mindfulness & Gratitude In a Time of Chaos

Hello Chit Chatters!

I know November is the month where most people take the time to remember what they are grateful for and what they are thankful for. I always like to do a reflection of the last year when we get to November and event though we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US, I tend to always count my blessings and look at what I have been gifted and blessed with. 

Let's reflect and look into our own lives to understand how we've survived the extremely challenging moment in our lives and pray for those who have been less fortunate. We must be vigilant and thankful for all of our blessings in life everyday. 

Expressing gratitude is important for our mental and well being and provides us an opportunity to balance that challenges and chaos we experience in our life. 

Practicing mindfulness is something that can help balance the other parts that you often don't see in your personal reflection of gratitude. I always link mindfulness to peace, relaxation, awakening, meditation. Find ways to ride yourself of the negative energy that your body and mind is holding so you can feel more balance with where you want to be in the moment and in your life. 

The quote below to me feels like the perfect blend of the two ideology and practices. 

"Gratitude allows us to notice the many blessings we have and distracts us from the many misfortunes that we face. Mindfulness helps us react to our misfortunes with grace, acceptance, and meditation. Together these two practices nurture the happier self within us". -Louai Rahal, MA

https://psychcentral.com/blog/how-gratitude-and-mindfulness-go-hand-in-hand/#:~:text=Gratitude%20allows%20us%20to%20notice,the%20happier%20self%20within%20us.

EP107: A Practice of Forgiveness- Letting Go of What’s Holding YOU Back! 

Hello Chit Chatters! 

This is the second to last episode of the year! I can’t believe that 2021 is coming to a close in just a short week and all of the beautiful and crazy things we’ve experienced together.

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly looking forward to a bright and beautiful 2022. I am so grateful for the new journey I am taking in my career and all the things I am building and planning with the podcast, my coaching practice and teaching. 

In this episode, we’re talking about forgiveness. Forgiveness is a very cathartic practice to release and let go. It gives you an opportunity to move on from people, experiences, things that have been weighing you down. I felt it was important to share a little bit of my story and why I practice forgiveness, but also for you to think about who you might need to forgive and how you can get started. 

Connect with me if you want to chat about your forgiveness journey. I am hear to support and guide you. 

I am excited for all things that will come in 2022! Cheers to all of you and for a brighter new year!

EP67: OVERCOMING FEAR WITH COURAGE: 5 Ways To Lean In & Create Your Story

Hello Chit Chatters!

Today's episode we're doing a little bit of reflecting. And I'm not trying to go back to the very beginning. But I'm trying to go back to thinking about the things that I think are most important and most valuable for people who listen to this podcast. And time and time again, whether I'm working with a coaching client or a student, or people who reach out to me about questions in regards to making a change in their life or doing something in regards to their career and not really quite sure how to do that. There's always this little part of themselves that's holding them back because of fear. And part of that is because we all have fear that we ultimately want to overcome. And one of the ways of overcoming fear is with courage. So the reason I say I want to go back and kind of reflect a little bit is because I think it's really important to reflect on the things that we've learned about ourselves, that ultimately we push through with courage and overcome those fears and obstacles. 

So for the first episode of season two, I want to dive into overcoming fears with courage, five steps to lean in with courage and overcome your fears. So these five steps are not anything that's new or unheard of, I want to put that out there. These are things that you could easily Google and find on the interweb to kind of help you feel more connected, more grounded and more clarified on what you can do to overcome your fears. Time and time again, what I've acknowledged and what I've learned as a coach is that mindset is everything! You need to try to be in a good  headspace and acknowledge what you're here to do, which is overcoming the fear obviously, but what is it that's causing you this fear in you? So you really need to take that moment to process that. 

 #1 Is acknowledging the fear, unpacking it, giving it the space, writing it down, and seeing what it is. 

#2 Is, get into the feelings of what the fear is giving you. How do you feel about it, when you think about it? What are the emotions that come up for you, when you're trying to process what the fear is, obviously, fear itself, being scared as an emotion, but take the opportunity to really understand what is causing you to feel the way you do. This is an opportunity to get a little bit vulnerable in this space of feeling your feelings about fear.

#3 Is what you really need to use as a mantra. Unpacking the story that you're telling yourself about the fear. And this is probably the most important out of the five, I think, because this is where we need to activate our senses and acknowledge that when we are scared about doing something 99% of the time, the reason we're so scared about doing it is because we're telling a story. And we're creating a limiting belief in our heads and in our bodies, that we keep acknowledging as to why we can't do certain things or a certain task or achieve a certain goal or objective. It's all about changing the narrative of the story.It's about telling yourself, you're totally capable of doing everything you want to achieve. Changing the story and acknowledging the story is what's going to help you overcome the fear. There's a lot of self awareness, acknowledging your emotions, paying attention to what the emotions are, and making sure that you're shifting what the story is. 

#4 is writing the new story that you're going to tell yourself from overcoming this fear. And what this means essentially is You're making a choice to move beyond the limiting belief, and creating a new story to help you unpack and uncover what you're trying to achieve. This is really, really important. It's just as important as acknowledging that limiting belief in the story you're telling yourself, because when you think about fear, you're scared because you're you don't want to fail at something. But the reality is, we all live with failure. No one is successful without failing. And what I think most people are always scared about is the idea of failing. But there's so much growth that comes from failing, that people don't always look at the positive outcome, when you fail at something, because you're just creating a new opportunity for yourself, to wipe away what you learned, and start fresh.

#5 Is to create a plan. What plan are you going to actualize? Are you going to create something that is going to help you not go back to step one, and help you not feel like you're living in fear? What is it that you're going to write down and map out to help you take action? How are you going to use the courage that you created for yourself, and in the story, and writing that news story, to lean into that, that courage, and making that plan. One of the things that people often find and are challenged by when it comes to overcoming fear, and leaning in with courage is that we all live with the fear of failing. And part of that is that we sabotage ourselves based on the story that's in our heads. When you write a plan down and you create reasonable, actionable strategies and goals. And when I say reasonable meaning like okay, don't give yourself more, don't bite off more than what you want, you can show, be really self aware of how much you can take on to get you to that goal. No one's rushing you. It's not a race, you're the only one that can hold you accountable for that. And if you want someone to hold you accountable with it, and help you unpack it more than hire a coach, that's what career and life coaches do. We're here to hold people accountable for the things they're trying to achieve, and help clarify an impact. unpack what it is that they're having a challenge with. Sometimes it goes as deep as going back to things that are impacting their childhood, sometimes it goes back to all the failures that aren't allowing people to want to overcome what it is they're meant to be doing. It's really, really important that you are self aware, self reflective, and you provide the opportunity to hold yourself accountable. Make that plan, create goals that you can visualize and see and that will be achievable, that are not going to allow you to fail. And if you fail, guess what, get yourself back up and start over again. Because you can learn from those mistakes and be able to reach the next place you want to go. 

I want to read you a quote. And this one happens to be a quote from one of my planners. It's actually a Bible quote. And it comes from Isaiah 60:1. And it says, “rise up in splendor and be radiant for your light has dawned and your ways glory now star from you”. What does this mean? This means that you have the ability to rise up time and time again, regardless of what happened in your past, regardless of what's holding you back, to show up for yourself, unconditionally and wholeheartedly in a place and a space and a time that you control the story of what it is you want to do and tall and say, you just need to look deep down in yourself and know that you can, and know that you're capable, I know that you're worthy.

Love & Light

Episode 120: Overcoming Job Search Rejection

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Coaching for Millennials where we talk about all things career, success, and navigating those tricky life transitions. Today, we're diving into a topic that I know so many people struggle with – and I've struggled with it myself – the overwhelming sense of rejection and frustration that comes with a difficult job search.

If you feel like you've sent out hundreds of resumes, maybe gotten a few interviews, but those offers just don't seem to materialize, you're not alone. I'm going to break down exactly why job search rejection can be so soul-crushing, what you can do to manage the emotional side, and those actionable steps to improve your chances and stay in the game.

Segment 1: Why Job Rejection Hurts So Bad

• Personalization: It's easy to feel that a rejection is a judgment of YOU, not just your skills or fit for the specific job.
• Loss of Control: The job search often feels like you aren't in the driver's seat, and that compounds when you're faced with rejection.
• Ego Bruising: Let's face it, your career is tied into your self-worth, and rejection can sting that pride.

Segment 2: Coping Strategies for Rejection

• It's NOT personal (most of the time): Companies have countless reasons for not choosing you, many totally unrelated to your talent.
• Give Yourself Time to Feel: It's okay to be disappointed, even angry. Vent to a trusted friend, go for a run, scream into a pillow. Then, time to refocus.
• Focus on Controllables: You CAN'T control hiring decisions, but you CAN control the quality of your applications, your effort, your skills development.
• Small Wins Matter: Did you tailor a cover letter especially well? Celebrate it! Small wins keep your momentum alive.

Segment 3: Staying Positive and Standing Out

• Targeted Applications: Quality over quantity, folks. Deeply research jobs that are a TRUE fit and customize your materials for each.
• Keywords are King: Your resume and cover letter must align with the job posting's lingo – they use software to scan these.
• Networking Power: It sounds old school, but real human connections matter. LinkedIn, professional groups, even informational interviews.
• The Skills Upgrade: Be honest – is there some training, software, or a relevant skill you could build to boost your appeal?

Show Notes

Action Items:

• Revisit Your Materials: Is your resume up-to-date and impactful? Does your cover letter clearly show why you're the ideal fit? Get ruthless editing here.
• Time Allocation: Set specific job search HOURS. Don't let it bleed into all your time and drain your energy
• Accountability Buddy: Find a friend on a similar path and check in on each other's progress.

Positive Affirmation: "I am capable. I am worthy. The right opportunity is waiting for me."

Don't let rejection define you. This is a hurdle you will absolutely jump over.

Hey everyone, and welcome back toCoaching for Millennials where we dive into all things career and life and how to help you live your best life. Today, we're all about unlocking the power of artificial intelligence in your job search. Specifically, we'll see how the amazing tool, ChatGPT, can give you an incredible edge.  AI-powered assistance can take a lot of the guesswork and stress out of the job search. It won't replace your hard work, but it can definitely amplify it!

#chatGPT #millennials #jobsearch #careerchange #resume #coverletter #AI #careercoach #lifecoach

Segment 1:  Refining Your Job Search with ChatGPT

 * Finding the Right Opportunities: ChatGPT can analyze your interests, skills, and experience and suggest tailored job titles and fields to explore. Let's see how this works:

   * Prompt Example:  "I have a background in marketing and enjoy creative problem-solving.  What are some job titles within a 50-mile radius of Syracuse, NY that fit this description?"

 * Targeting Your Search:  Want to drill down on job openings? ChatGPT can understand complex job descriptions and extract key requirements to help laser-focus your search.

   * Prompt Example:  "Analyze this job description and give me a list of keywords to help refine my job alerts."

Segment 2: Crafting a Killer Resume with ChatGPT

 * Tailoring to the Job Description: ChatGPT can match your resume to specific job postings word-for-word, making sure you hit all the right notes.

   * Prompt Example: "Rewrite my resume to highlight the skills and experience relevant to this [paste job description here]."

 * Conquering the Skills Section:  Stuck on wording? ChatGPT can help you articulate your strengths clearly and persuasively.

   * Prompt Example:  "I'm proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.  Give me several bullet points showcasing these skills for my resume."

Segment 3: A Cover Letter that Stands Out

 * Conveying Your Value: ChatGPT can help you express WHY you're a great fit for the company and position. It'll give those generic cover letters a kick!

   * Prompt Example:  "Write a strong opening paragraph for a cover letter where I'm applying for a social media manager role and have 3 years of experience.  Highlight my passion for community engagement."

 * Adding That Personal Touch:  ChatGPT can help personalize your cover letter by researching the company and incorporating their mission into your message. Let's see that in action:

   * Prompt Example:  "Give me ways to connect my experience to [Company Name]'s recent initiative to [initiative description from the company website] in the body of my cover letter."

Wow, who knew your virtual assistant could be a career coach! I hope you found these tips useful.  Remember, ChatGPT is a powerful tool, but it's all about how you use it.

Absolutely! Here are the top 10 AI prompts, along with explanations, to help job seekers and career changers streamline their efforts:

Resume Enhancement

1. "Analyze my resume. Identify areas for improvement, suggest keywords based on current industry trends, and ensure it's ATS-friendly."

   • ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are used by many companies. This prompt ensures your resume is optimized to pass those filters while incorporating the most relevant terms.

2. "Rewrite my resume bullet points to highlight accomplishments, using strong action verbs and quantifiable results."

   • AI can turn generic descriptions into powerful, outcome-focused statements, making your experience stand out.

3. "Based on [target job title or industry], tailor my resume to emphasize the most relevant skills and experiences."

   • This creates focused resumes for each application, increasing your appeal to hiring managers.

Cover Letter Power

4. "Draft a cover letter for [job title] at [company name]. Use highlights from my resume and tailor it to the job description."

   • This generates a strong base for your cover letter and saves you valuable time.

5. "Check my cover letter for grammar, tone, and persuasiveness. Suggest ways to make it more engaging."

   • AI provides a second set of eyes, ensuring your cover letter is polished and impactful.

Job Search Optimization

6. "Find job postings matching my skillset: [list your skills]. Prioritize companies located in [your preferred area] or offering remote work."

   • Saves time scouring job boards, giving you a targeted list of openings.

7. "Recommend alternative job titles or industries where my skills would be transferable. I'm looking to transition my career."

   • A powerful prompt for career changers, as AI can uncover opportunities you might not have considered.

Interview Preparation

8. "Act as a hiring manager and ask me typical interview questions for [job title or industry]. Provide feedback on my answers."

   • Prepares you for the real thing and gives you insights into improving your responses.

9. "Generate a list of insightful questions I can ask the interviewer about the company and the role to show my interest."

   • Asking good questions shows genuine engagement, and AI can help you formulate thoughtful ones.

General Guidance

10. "I'm feeling overwhelmed by my job search. Suggest strategies to stay organized, motivated, and focused on my goals."
    • The job search can be taxing. AI can provide practical tips and offer a boost when you need it.

Tips:

• Be specific: Provide your resume, target job descriptions, or examples of your work. The more information, the better the output.
• Iterate: Use these prompts as starting points. Refine and adjust them based on the AI's responses.
• Don't fully rely on AI: AI is a tool. Always proofread, personalize, and use your own judgment.

Let me know if you'd like to try using one of these prompts – I can help you tailor them and walk you through the process!

EP76: PRIDE SERIES: Celebrate. Reflect. Honor. Love

Hello Chit Chatters!

Happy Official Pride Weekend in NY and possibly globally!

I am filled with some much joy, honor and proud to be a gay man!

Over the last three weeks, I have brought you episodes on PRIDE and shared different topics and themes reflected of the LGBTQ community. 

Never did I think I could openly say and share my thoughts and feelings about being a gay, Hispanic male on a platform like a podcast. Truthfully, I wasn't living to my full potential and being my authentic self until the last 8 years. 

I have been "out" since 2002, but the layers of being a member of the LGBTQ community aren't easy to live with on a day to day basis. I dedicate this mini-series to all of those who came before us and fought for our right to marry who we want to marry, to go out in public and hold hands and kiss who we want. Love who want and be GAY AF!

This episode closes the series, but it doesn't mean that Pride stops being celebrated until next June. I want to celebrate my community 365/24/7 and share stories, inspire others, and be a trailblazer any way I can. 

I am here for the LGBTQ+ and for BIPOC and BLM. Pride is just about being out and gay. It's about community, love and the celebration of life!

Cheers, 

Queers!

EP86: Designing Your Career Story: Strategies for Connecting with Employers, Networking, & Interviewing 

We all have a unique story to tell. One filled with adventures, successes, failures, challenges, lessons, and inspiration that have led us to the road we are on today.

Today is when you get to tell the story about you and your career. The journey that has built your competencies, skills, experiences, and expertise.

To design your career story is much like your elevator pitch. It's part of the brand you're creating for the world. There are of course different versions based on the audience you're speaking to or seeking to attract.

You need to decide a few things: who am I telling the story to?

• Is it networking with folk from the industry you're trying to break into?
• Is it at a career event and you're speaking to perspective recruiters?
• Are you in an interview and the question, "tell me about yourself" comes up?

No matter the place, occasion or audience, you are front and center.

To help you develop a design you want really think of how you tell a story 

• A beginning

• Middle

• End

Each part is connected. keep it brief, concise, honest and personal.

You want to share and create an experience that your audience can develop a connection to. share enough to keep their attention and don't make it more than 2 mins.

Here's what to do for each part: 

Beginning:

Share what you've been doing, how you got there and what interested you in the field or industry. 

Middle: 

What's going on today? Provide some detail on accomplishment while keeping brief. share moments that are key successes thus far.

End: 

What's next? What's your next move/chapter?

This is where you should be bringing all the points together to help your audience understand what they should take away from speaking to you. If you're interviewing, why are

you the most qualified candidate Define some next steps that can lead to future conversations

To summarize

know your audience, share your passion and what you want them to know about you

• Share your skill, qualification and competencies.
• share your intentions where you want to go and be

Challenge yourself to speak your truth and tell the story you want people to know and hear.

Remember this is going to help you in the long run. Practicing this will make you feel more comfortable each time.

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

EP54: COMFORT ZONE GOT YOU STUCK? 6 Beliefs, Behaviors & Feelings That Are Preventing You From Success

Hello Chit Chatters!

This week’s episode is all about stepping into the space of talking about the things that we may not acknowledge about ourselves wholeheartedly, but we recognize how ugly these feelings and behaviors can be! 

That’s right! It’s time to understand, recognize and uncover the triggers that you’ve created in your mindset that are keeping you from the things you want the most of. 

Here’s the truth, we all have a resistance to fear. We all have fears that we’ll never share with anyone, but in the voice inside your head, you’re sharing that fear. And that fear is something you’ve gotten really comfortable with because you keep feeding it what it needs to continue to fester inside you and not allow you to pivot to achieve your goals. 

Let’s dive into what these fears are called, why they are part of our comfort zone and what can we learn from them to allow us to grow! Grab your pen and paper! 

**Discretion: These aren’t created by me. These are observations from a coaching program that I participated in and I feel that it is important for me to share! SHARING IS CARING!**

1. Striving without receiving
2. Processes without results (this is so mee!!)
3. Pleasure without satisfaction
4. Living by other people’s choices
5. Agony
6. Joy

Dig into the episode for examples and ideas of what you can do to work through each of these themes and uncover which of the behaviors, beliefs and feeling(s) is yours. 

Let me know what you think in the comments and be sure to share this episode with someone you think needs this in their life. If you found value in today's episode, please leave a review on apple podcast and on podchaser. Reviews help the show grow and be seen by more people.

Episode 2: FEAR

SHOW NOTES

This episodes is all about FEAR. That's right fear. It has a negative connotation to it and almost takes control over everything you dream of wanting to do and get in the way of your mindset and looking ahead. 

Here are some takeaways from the show:

• Understanding where your fear comes from
• How have your limiting beliefs prevented you from reaching a goal and accomplishment
• leading with courage to move forward while living your life with fear and learning to grow and get over it
• Give yourself the permission to do what you are most scared of
• How to stop letting your limiting beliefs get in the way and how doing something messy with courage can lead to the success you are looking for

EP58: MINDSET GOT YOU...Mmm? Pivoting From A Fixed Mindset To A Growth Mindset

Hey Chit Chatters!

Don’t you just love when the people around you (physically and virtually) provide you with moments of inspiration that have you saying... YAAASSS!

Well this episode comes from an inspiration from my Lindsey Pollak’s new book Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through The Changing World of Work, which is available tomorrow (03/23).

Y’all I am so excited for this book! I can wait for the world to experience it. If you want to know more about the book, I had Lindsey on the podcast late last year (2020) on Episode 34. 

Today we’re going to go deep into the study of mindset, but also help you understand where you need to shift your mindset and how.   

Carol Dweck, PhD, authored the book, “Mindset, The New Psychology of Success.”She compares people who have a  “fixed” mindset to those who have a “growth”mindset

What’s the difference you ask? 

Fixed Mindset: According to Dwek, an individual who believes that they have a particular group of qualities, traits and talents that are permanently set. 

For example, “I’m terrible at math” or “I can never get that job!”

A Growth Mindset has the complete opposite approach, individuals who hold a growth mindset believe that almost any challenge can be overcome, any failure is an opportunity to grow, and any talent or ability can be improved through learning and action. 

Now at this point you might already be aware of which midget represents you best. If you’re stuck on a fixed one, let work towards shifting it into growth.

In my friend Lindsey’s book she shared a powerful strategy that can help folks who want to pivot to a growth approach. 

She uses a three letter word: “YET”. Instead of always thinking and believing that “you can’t do” or “you don” to any sentence add the word “yet” and it will shift to how you see, hear, believe and think about your abilities. 

This just a small step to eliminate a limiting belief of what can be something great!

Here’s an example: “I don’t have the interview skills to succeed… it’s hopeless”

ASK YOURSELF: What can you do to help you prepare to improve your interviewing skills. 

Now the journey to shift your mindset takes time and work in changing your behaviors. YOU NEED TO PRACTICE and remind yourself before you say I CAN’T or I DON’T of the word YET!

If this episode has brought you value in any way go out and share with someone you think needs to hear this! I am excited for all the things to come on the podcast, but if your in a place/space where you’re considering coaching and need help with your mindset below is my contact info. I encourage you to reach out! Let’s have a chat and see how I can help you!

I can’t wait to read your response and for the next episode.  If you found value in today's episode, please leave a review on apple podcast and on podchaser. Reviews help the show grow and be seen by more people.

EP33: MILLENNIALS & GEN Z: Revolutionizing the Path to a Brighter Future

This is a special episode on the show because it is Election Day! Yes folx, Tuesday, Nov 2!

Did you vote? I was so excited to go and vote today and purposely waiting until today because for me I didn't feel like I would have to wait what may feel like an eternity for the results. 

Voting is so important!! 

It's your civic duty!

It's your right!

It's your voice!

It's your vote!

And guess what it matters today more than ever! Get out and vote if you haven't! Polls close at 9pm tonight and you can find out where to vote by visiting vote.org to find your closest polling location. 

In this episode I share my views, thoughts and opinion on how the #Millennial and #GenZ generations are shaping the next wave of our workplace, our rights, our democracy and our future. 

The world is changing in front of us and we have to embrace the change and join in to support it. 

There is so much healing our nation and country need! We are still living in a pandemic, there are people's rights on the line and social injustice taking place. We have to be the change we want to see and we need to come together to support each other.

At the root of it, time and time again, these two generations value democracy, race, climate, the economy (more specifically student loan and credit card debt), inclusion, balance and collaboration/partnerships. 

I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and to hear what you think. If you like what hear and you found value in this episode, remember to head over to Apple Podcast and leave a review.

EPISODE 10: THE JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY WHILE FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS: 

Secrets to Love, Life, Business & Success with Tanner Efinger 

WHAT IS THE SELF DISCOVERY JOURNEY?

In this episode you will hear Tanner’s story of how he moved around the country and the world to build his career and found love along the way. He spent time exploring different forms of theater, acting and arts to follow his passion of theater and acting. Along the way he discovered his voice as an activist in the LGBTQI+ community and representing the community to be a voice and support. 

He experienced a shift in his life where he recognized that his identity was at the core of the work he was meant to do. Being an activist was his calling and his mission has be been wholeheartedly called to support Queer people and the Arts while supporting a community that he identifies with and applying his passion in all of the areas.

HOW IT COMES TOGETHER: Secrets to His Passion

Accepting all of the cheesy elements that we see in our journey, passion and to then start living through the purpose our lives are intended to serve.

Tanner realized his leadership and advocacy for being an activist led to his entrepreneurial life in creating opportunity for local theater and arts. 

Opportunity can be presented in the form of a community to define your career in anything and in your future for your own success.

“You can create the career you want, but need a community around doing the same thing”. -Tanner Efinger

CREATING OPPORTUNITY IN A COMMUNITY

Using the culture that is existing in our community to continue to grow the economy while continuing to grow it with collaborations, events, and partnerships. Tanner’s investment into establishing a business that is for the Queer community has expanded jobs, culture, connections and networks for not just the Queer community but also educating those around us. 

Creating a community that is YES AND…

"Everyone's path is unique and free advice is what you paid for it!" 

ABOUT TANNER

After graduating from Phillips Academy Andover, Tanner moved to New York City and received BFA theatre performance training at Marymount Manhattan College. He performed in NYC and LA for 10 years (see Performance CV) and in 2008 Tanner became active in community and national organizing. In 2011, Tanner moved to Oxford, UK where he managed several restaurant and art venues, before developing a career as a freelance theatre artist and creative consultant, promoting and encouraging artistic endeavors on a community scale. In 2017, Tanner moved to Syracuse, New York and founded Breadcrumbs Productions, where he now works as Founding Artistic Director. In 2019, he and his husband Nick opened Wunderbar, a queer bar and theatre in the heart of downtown Syracuse.

Hello Chit Chatters!

I AM BACK!! After a much needed break, I have taken some time to bring you a NEW episode.

This week's episode is EP78: The Great Resignation: Why Working From Home is Here to Stay

In this episode I am sharing some of the reasons for the #greatresignation and how to identify some of the signs that you might be a part of the great movement. 

We all know that the COVID-19 Pandemic and quarantine has required all of us to spend time away from in person work and adapt to bring our work into our homes. For many people this meant running your whole team and staff in a virtual environment while some were wearing multiple hats of managing their kids, assisting with remote classroom studies, taking care of their parents and/or dealing with the overwhelming stress of uncertainty of the world and your own mental health. 

If you agreed or nodded your head to one of these or have a similar experience to some of these, it is likely that you've had some time to reflect and think about what you value most in life and how your world of work play an active role in it. 

Prior to 2020, we were all living in our own bubble of how we manage our day to day work-life and balance our personal lives with it. For the last eight months, we've all questioned everything about what we want in a work-life balance and what we expect from our workplace and the culture that is created. 

I've always said that world of work is in need of change to help people actually take and have a better work-life balance as oppose to thinking and saying that we have one. Americans are among the most overworked country globally. As a society, we have a strong live to work mindset as oppose to a work to live. The pandemic and the working from home experience is causing folks to question their values about work-life balance, putting their families and mental-health first and leaving the complicated, on demand work culture behind. 

In this episode, I share some strategies on what is causing the Great Resignation, ways for you to begin to live a more balance life that isn't focused on work and how to start the conversation at work about returning or not returning. 

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

Love & Light,

José Miguel

Show Notes: Episode 3: How Courage Can Change Your Life, May 6, 2020

 Today we are going to talk about how courage can not only change your life, but give you the control that you need to get you where you want to go.

We are living in some really challenging times. This global pandemic has caused so many people to shift their lives in ways they never imagined. For many people it has affected their mental health and ability to cope with everyday tasks.

Let’s start off my identifying what Courage is?

According to the dictionary, courage is defined as

• the ability to do something that frightens one.
• strength in the face of pain or grief

Basically is doing something bravely or just the act of being brave. We all have this inside and we need to find it!

This is also about control. Having control over things during a challenging time or period can be difficult. When you don’t have control, you need to use courage to help you FEEL like you are in control.

Gretchin Rubin said it best, “Act the way you want to feel.” This is gold you guys!

• We have to look for ways to process our feelings
• We have to take care ourselves
• Take care of our family and those around us

Why is Courage so Important?

We don’t give ourselves the permission to act bravely. Often we only have control of our feelings and our mindset. When you give yourself courage, you can change the mindset.

Often choosing comfort is the easy way out of choosing courage. You get in the mindset that negates your efforts to move you ahead. CHOSE Courage over Comfort and you will seek yourself grow.

One of my favorite quotes is by Brené Brown, “Courage has a ripple effect. Every time we choose courage, we make sure everyone around us is a little better and the world is a litter braver.”

I AM SO HERE FOR THIS!!!

• You have the ability to be brave
• You have the ability to challenge yourself

Key Takeaways

• Be nice to yourself- Most Important
• Be loving, compassionate, cooperative, and kind
• Connect with 1 person each day for 1 week and ask them- How are they doing?
• With Courage find Joy: look for things that make you happy, find an activity you can do that puts you at ease (music, meditation, working out, cooking, etc)
• Connect with people: We are humans! We are meant to connect and have emotions!
• Also May is National Mental Awareness Month, if you or someone you know suffers from mental health please check-in and let them know you are here for them.

EP97: Career Changers: Strategies & Tips to Make Your Next Move

Hello Chit Chatters!

I am so excited to finally air this episode. My good friend Krystal Hicks is back for a second time on the show. We are talking about a very important topic in our world right now as we continue to see the evolution of The Great Resignation. 

More people, now more than ever, are assessing and evaluating their values as it relates to work and what they want out of their employer and in the workplace. A lot of people have spent so much time self-reflecting on the things that matter most. 

In this conversation we focused on how Career Changes and folks who are seeking to transition from one industry to another can dig deep to see how their relevant experience is the biggest skill and gift that can be transferable in applying to a new job in a different field. 

Below are some of the golden nuggets that we shared in our conversation, but you’re going to want to bring your pen and paper and favorite drink to listen in to the amazing wisdom and knowledge we share. 

THINGS TO DO AND BE MINDFUL AS A CAREER CHANGER

1. Ask for help
2. Understanding and leveraging your skills and experience
3.  Be ready to Pivot

• Find and create your own roadmap uncover the shifts
• Enhance your skills and development personally + professionally
• Being heard and seen
• imposter syndrome self-deprecation

1. Don't look at being the person who checks all of the boxes, focus on the things you know well and are your strengths
2. Talk to people /Network/schedule informational interviews
3. Use LinkedIn (more on this in future episodes and courses )
4. It's okay to change your mind. Embrace the change

ABOUT KRYSTAL & JOBTALK, LLC

JOBTALK was founded by Krystal Hicks in 2018 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After more than 10 years of working in the employment sector, Krystal decided to professionalize what had inadvertently developed into a rogue side hustle, providing job hunting advice and recruiting insight to students, educators, businesses and professionals.  

"I decided to create JOBTALK after years of having to apologetically say "no" to people who fell "outside" of my job's direct client-base. I remember working at the University, and I would have parents calling me saying, 'I know you have been working with my son/daughter this year, and I was wondering...  could you take a look at my resume?'  I hated not being able to help people due to a lack of time/bandwidth on my part, or sometimes a conflict of interest dictated by my employer. I do this work because I love it, and because I've seen time and time again how even the tiniest course corrections in someone's process can make all the difference in their search or situation. Launching JOBTALK is about finally stepping into the driver's seat and leveraging my skills and experience to benefit my community and clients in a more direct and meaningful way."  - Krystal

EP44: WHY PODCASTING IS FOR YOU! Tools | Resources | Inspiration to Get You Started

Happy New Year Friends! Welcome to 2021!

Wow! I can’t believe we are already in 2021 and I am so glad that the dumpster fire that 2020 was is now behind us! AMEN!!

As I thought about what I wanted the first episode of 2021 to be I was inspired by all the things I am grateful for and blessed with. The first thing that stood out to me was the PODCAST!!

Yes! The podcast is an instrumental part of my life and my coaching practice. It is how I get my message out to the masses. Podcast is a low cost tool to share with people anything you feel will help you create an audience and share your message. 

In this episode I am sharing with you why podcasting is for everyone and why you should start one. I outlined the top 8 tools and resources to help you get started. Bring your pen and notebook for this one! 

Let’s Dive In!

Top 8 Resources & Tools for Podcasting

1. Who is your Audience | Avatar | Ideal Client

Your podcast is an outlet to speak to the masses. But you must ask yourself, 

Who is it for? 

Who is your listener? 

What is the purpose of your message? 

These are some of the many questions you want to ask yourself in the process of brainstorming your content, name, description and tagline (more on that later).

2. Equipment

Equipment such as mic and pop filter is essential to produce clear and clean audio for your show. I have a blue yeti mic that I got from Best Buy because I had a gift card, but you can pick one up from Amazon. Blue Yeti’s have different price ranges, my retails $129.99, I got it on sale from Best Buy for $99.00 and had a gift card. You can pick up a decent USB Microphone from Amazon for as low as $35.00

https://www.amazon.com/Microphone-Condenser-Recording-Streaming-669B/dp/B06XCKGLTP?ref_=ast_sto_dp  Be sure to checkout the reviews before purchasing

Pop Filter: A pop filter is going to cover your mic and help reduce the popping sounds we make when talking. It also helps to make the sound much cleaner and allows for better quality when reducing the noise in between the filter. Amazon has them for $10.00! https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Microphone-Stabilizing-Recordings-Broadcasting/dp/B01N21H9WY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=QWFJ7R2HAO1Y&dchild=1&keywords=pop+filter+for+blue+yeti&qid=1610138113&s=musical-instruments&sprefix=Pop+%2Cmi%2C157&sr=1-4

 With these two pieces of equipment you’re ready to get started in recording! 

3: Recording Software

There are a ton of free recording software out there. Find one that is easy for you to use and works with your equipment. Almost all mics are USB and will work on any PC or Mac. Many individuals will use Audacity or GarageBand to record. Both of these softwares are free. Audacity can be used on any computer. GarageBand is only for Mac users. 

This is going to be important for you to have good quality recordings.

4. Hosting Platforms

There are so many hosting platforms available today and it’s hard to always know which one is right for you. I use Podbean for my podcast because it is easy to use and very affordable. I paid $60 for the whole year through a special promo. Podbean offers the flexibility of having an app that is available for Android and iOS. This gives you the option to record from your phone if you ever have a moment of inspiration on the go. Here is a link to learn more about hosting platforms and deciding which one is the best for you: https://www.podcastinsights.com/best-podcast-hosting/

5. Episode Recording & Launch Date

**I forgot to mention this in the audio**

At some point...You’re going to want to create an intro and outro for your podcast. This is telling your listeners what your show is about and what they can expect from your show. It is different from an episode intro which comes before the show intro on each episode. An intro is typically no longer than 1 minute long and accompanied by some music. You can do this for FREE too! Your outro is telling your audience thank you for listening, like, review, and share. Let them know here they can find you!

When you first launch your show it’s always a good idea to have a batch of episodes ready before launching. These are episodes recorded ready to go on a moment's notice or scheduled if your platform permits. This will help you in your show’s promotion and having a successful launch. These first few episodes are going to help you get noticed in your category and determine the frequency of when your episode should air. I do weekly episodes and I am working on creating content to do 2 episodes per week. The more episodes and content to you create the more visibility you can create for your show and the more your audience will come find you. CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!!

6. Podcast Name | Tagline | Description

Your podcast name is going to be the most important decision you make when you’re creating your show. You want your name to be a reflection of you and your audience, BUT it needs to be searchable for your avatar and audience to find you! This goes back to number 1 in this list. Your tagline and description need to be a part of the searchable keywords that will help your audience find you when they are searching. 

For example: I am a Millennial Coach. Therefore Millennials are my audience. My niche, which goes with categories is Career | Life | LinkedIn so this is Education, Career, Business & Society & Culture. All of the terms (career, life, LinkedIn and coach) are searchable in the search field of the podcasts. You just need to find what fits well for you. 

**Sign up for a clarity session to help you dig deeper on what this is! hello@coachingwithjosemiguel.com**

7. Channel Art  or Podcast Cover Art & Promo Artwork

If you’re really good with graphic design, this will super easy, but if you’re not, it could still be super easy! You can go to Canva and find templates to help you create all of your cover art and channel art. I didn’t really jump on the Canva bandwagon until 6 months after having my podcast so I had someone design it for me. A great space for great designers is on Fiverr. Super affordable, quick and easy. I think my channel art was about $35.00 when I launched last March (first episode released was April). You also want to create promo art for different social media platforms. I promote my podcast on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn each have different size photo/images. Canva is a great tool to create this. You can head over to my Instagram to check out all of my promo artwork. 

8.  Podcast Pro University

Last but not least is Podcast Pro University! This is the mecca of podcast courses and I promise you it is worth every single penny of your investment. This is the #1 podcast course out there and I promise you if you follow everything Stef says you will be charting everywhere in your categories! 

 I purchased this course after I had launched my podcast and I wish I had learned about a lot sooner because I truly believe I would have had a better launch. BUT I learned so much from the course that helped me grow my show, audience, downloads and make a profit!!

You can take advantage of of Podcast Pro University by going to: https://josemiguellongo--stefaniegass.thrivecart.com/podcastprouniversity/?ref=ep44

Thank you all for being an amazing part of my heart and community. I am so excited for all of the beautiful episodes and things we are going to create in 2021. This podcast is just getting started and the best is yet to come!

 Xo,

José Miguel

Show Notes: Episode 6: Getting to know You.. Well, Not You, ME!-Part II

**PLEASE NOTE THIS EPISODE IS UNEDITED. THERE IS ALSO PROFANITY, YOU MAY WANT TO USE A HEADSET**

Hello Chit Chatters!

I am excited to announce that the podcast has hit 100 downloads since launching in April!!

Thank you so much for listening and for joining this community. I grateful to be able to share my stories, the stories of others, and help people in their journey of find their purpose and in life!

Having said that, I have been pivoting a lot the past few weeks and I have been working really closely with a friend of mine who will be on the show next week.. You will have listen in.

She has helped me gain perspective and clarity on how can better serve the audience that I am meant to serve but also who that audience is. I have realized over the course of my 11 years as a coach I have frequently worked consistently with a generation that time and time again speaks to me and I find a tremendous love for supporting and seeing flourish and that is millennials.

I use think that I needed to serve everyone in life and career coaching. To be honest I did and do. Although I am working towards building my own coaching business using the amazing platforms like a podcasts or course and social media, I have been a coach to students and alum of all age group demographic and have successfully helped people pivot from college to career as well as from a job to a meaningful career and even more important from a life filled with confusion and exhaustion to one filled with energy and purpose.

I am excited to be introducing the re-branding of my podcast, Life and Business Coaching for Millennials! This transition is part of being able to serve the audience that I most connect with and help them find the best version of themselves.

If you are a millennials you need to read below:

Are you a millennial who is struggling to find more purpose? 

Do you feel confused when you think about what you're created to do here?

Do you waste time on job search engines searching for a 'better fit'?

Do you feel unfulfilled with what you're doing on a day to day basis?

You don't have to feel that way anymore. Welcome to Life & Business Coaching for Millennials, a safe space where people from all walks of life can come together to learn, grow, and transform!  

A place where diversity is celebrated and encouraged. Where we can have open honest, real conversation about uncovering your purpose in business, feeling more joy in your life, and ultimately finding more happiness and success.

I look forward to having meaningful conversations and coaching sessions that will help you explore life and career options, be inspired, fueled, and filled with laughter.

It's time to Chit Chat with me, Jose Miguel... 

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how excited I am to bring you new episodes every week which will include a 50/50 split of coaching and interviews!

If you or someone you know needs coaching in their life, screen shot the episode or podcast artwork, be sure to comment and leave a review. Share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @josemiguellongo for your chance to win a FREE 30 minute session. I will be choosing 3 winners each month and potentially selecting those winners to be on the podcast!!

Let’s dive into the episode!!

So, I left off last time talking about being in my early 20. This episode is a bit all over the place, but there are important things to understand about my 20 that summarize somewhat who I am and how I became this person I am today. I don’t verbally say because I went on several rants, but you can hear it in the layers of my story.

I don’t believe this will the last version of Getting to Know Me, but I think this helps you understand why I created this podcast and why being a life and business coach is so important to me.

I hope you enjoy and please leave a comment and/or review. It would mean the world to me!

I look forward to having meaningful conversations where we can explore stories and ideas and create a space for people to connect and feel like they belong.

EP101: 3 Secrets To Be A Successful Leader In Your Career 

Hello Chit Chatters! 

I am still processing how we are at over 100 episodes on our little podcast! This show has been truly a labor of love and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be blessed with these gifts of coaching you all in your journey through life and your career. 

Today’s episode is focused on 3 secrets to be a successful leader in your career. I have been practicing these for a really long time and had learned these competencies from a very young age through mentorship, guidance and listening to others who I looked up to as leaders throughout my life and in my career. 

Now, to be direct and honest, these aren’t secrets! Shhh! Yes, I am sharing them with you because I believe that everyone should have good mentors and guides to help them to be successful in their journey through life and their career. 

These 3 competencies are part of that! Let’s dive in!

Empathy

• listen 
• leave judgement behind
• be present 
• Read and understand body language
• Take interest 
• understand others needs
• understand others emotions  
• compassion 

Gratitude

• appreciation for others during their success and contribution
• Be genuine in your interaction/sincere
• show up and mean it
• Personable 
• Authenticity 
• Consistent 

Vulnerability

• It helps build trust
• It shows courage and relatability that everything isn't always black & white or figured out
• socially and physically

I see these competencies (skills) as part of a holistic tool-kit that serves as best practices for working with others. It requires a person to have courage, practice authenticity, transparency, and recognize the power of words. 

I can totally geek out on leadership skills and values all day, but I will leave that very broad topic for another episode. Just know that when you take the time and the space to give others honesty and compassion you really make an impact on them. 

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

As always, I offer a free discovery call to anyone who is ready to make money moves and I mean really, let's make money moves for you! Below is the link to my Calendly to jump into one of my sessions.

EP99: Failure = Growth

Hello Chit Chatters!

In this podcast, I want to talk with you about how growth and discomfort are related. And how when you are uncomfortable, you will often seek out ways to avoid that discomfort. But avoidance only leads to more discomfort and more trying to avoid the discomfort. Ultimately, the only real way to grow is to actually get uncomfortable with yourself and give yourself the opportunity to gain insight, knowledge, and learn from the experiences of trying to do something that you really want to do for yourself, your life and journey.

Failure is something we all experience. But often, when we fail, we don't learn anything from that experience. The true mark of a man or woman of worth is not how well they avoid failure but how well they grow from it. If you want to grow as a person, there's no better teacher than experience. No one can really teach you anything until you've been through the process yourself. That's why this episode is so important for all of us. 

I'm going to encourage you to take a small step for yourself, and lean in with courage. And don't be so fearful of the failure and recognize that the failure is a success of failure is part of your growth. Failure is part of your journey. It makes you stronger, it makes you a better person, it gives you resiliency, and it's going to help you in whatever you're trying to create. 

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

EP20: FAILURE + GROWTH = SUCCESS: Overcoming a Failure in Life and Business- Why You Should Never Quit

“Failure gets you closer to what you’re good at” -Louis CK

In today’s episode I am sharing with you my experience with failing at a lunch for a workshop and having NO ONE sign up!

FACING REALITY HEAD ON: Trying very hard, but without being scared

Now, I wasn’t devastated that no one purchased this workshop because I was realistic about the potential outcome based on the number of people listening and following all of my content. 

I leaned in with courage instead of comfort and I did it because I felt like I needed to.

KNOWING WHO YOU AUDIENCE IS AND IF THEY ARE READY TO BUY

• You need to know how many people are actively following you and engaging in your content. 
• You need to know how many superfans you have to be able to know what they need and create all the things they need and how you can serve them. 

I have 35 superfans right now. They may not be ready to buy anything from me because they may not trust me yet. They may not need what I am selling but want to actively engage and listen to the podcast.

MY PROMISE: 

I am going to work hard to build an audience that will trust me and wants me to be their coach and teacher! 

I recognized from this that I wasn't ready not just because I didn't have the audience, but I wasn't ready when it comes to all of the building blocks of business. Having all the engagement, followers, and listeners doesn't mean anything if the person who is there doesn't trust what you have to offer. 

You have to have self-awareness and be able to give yourself permission to try things that may not work. It's the only way your going to grow. You have to give yourself the courage to do it scared and know that it might not work and not give up! NEVER GIVE UP!! 

This is your time to build something amazing that only you can create, design, and share with the world. The world needs your special gift.

I know I am doing what I am meant to be doing with the podcast and the coaching business and I know that creating courses as a form of monetization is something I am going to make money on, be successful and it will happen when the timing is right. 

FREEBIES ARE COMING!!!

I am going to give you all the free things! YES FREEBIES!

I am going to give freebies on coaching, resume tips, business building, LinkedIn and more! Be on the lookout!

MY HEART & SOUL

I want you to trust me and know that I am here for you and I want to deliver you results and hold you accountable in achieving your goals so you can succeed in life.

EP75: 5 Ways to Create an Inclusive LGBTQ Workplace

Hello Chit Chatters!

Welcome back to another episode of Coaching For Millennials! In this episode we’re continuing with our theme of PRIDE since it is pride month, but more importantly I want to dive deeper into the elements of inclusion and create awareness around the space of inclusion in the workplace for LGBTQ people. 

I recently completed a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Workplace Certification through the University of South Florida at the Muma College of Business. I learned so much in the short timeframe and although I have been active in doing toe DEI work, the more we are able to learn from each other and hear different perspectives, the awareness we can create in the spaces for others. 

I mention the certification program for a few reasons. 1. I am proud to have participated in the program and to have shared it with so many people who benefited from participating in it. 2. One of the topics discussed in the program that is important to creating an inclusive workplace is Emotional Intelligence. 

Now, we’ve talked about Emotional Intelligence a lot here on the show and we have a few episodes in season one where I have a few guests that shared their expertise on the topic, but for the purpose of this episode, I highlighted 4 areas of emotional intelligence I felt were most relevant to rolling up your sleeves and creating the space around emotional intelligence to then have a workplace that is more inclusive. 

Here are the 4 elements around Emotional Intelligence:

1. Self-Awareness
2. Social Awareness
3. Self-Management
4. Relationship Management

You can find more details on each of these at:

https://positivepsychology.com/emotional-intelligence-framworks

Moving along, you can hear all of my thoughts, experiences and opinions on how to create a space that is inclusive of emotional intelligence in the episode. Let’s dive into the 5 ways to make the workplace more inclusive for LGBTQ folks

1. Have Self-Awareness & Social Awareness
2. Educate Yourself
3. Don’t Be Afraid To Ask Questions OR Make Mistakes
4. Ask About Pronouns & Preferred Name
5. Show Up: Be an Ally and Create a Community for LBGTQ People

I also reference my good friend Dr. Steve Yacovelli aka The Gay Leadership Dude to learn more about his research, practice and book called “Pride Leadership”. He is a true testament to someone who is not only part of the LGBTQ community, but also a teacher and mentor. 

Steve was also on the podcast back in Season 1, Episode 39 if you want to hear about our conversation on leadership, inclusion and more!

Show Notes: Episode 6: Getting to know You.. Well, Not You, ME!-Part II

**PLEASE NOTE THIS EPISODE IS UNEDITED. THERE IS ALSO PROFANITY, YOU MAY WANT TO USE A HEADSET**

Hello Chit Chatters!

I am excited to announce that the podcast has hit 100 downloads since launching in April!!

Thank you so much for listening and for joining this community. I grateful to be able to share my stories, the stories of others, and help people in their journey of find their purpose and in life!

Having said that, I have been pivoting a lot the past few weeks and I have been working really closely with a friend of mine who will be on the show next week.. You will have listen in.

She has helped me gain perspective and clarity on how can better serve the audience that I am meant to serve but also who that audience is. I have realized over the course of my 11 years as a coach I have frequently worked consistently with a generation that time and time again speaks to me and I find a tremendous love for supporting and seeing flourish and that is millennials.

I use think that I needed to serve everyone in life and career coaching. To be honest I did and do. Although I am working towards building my own coaching business using the amazing platforms like a podcasts or course and social media, I have been a coach to students and alum of all age group demographic and have successfully helped people pivot from college to career as well as from a job to a meaningful career and even more important from a life filled with confusion and exhaustion to one filled with energy and purpose.

I am excited to be introducing the re-branding of my podcast, Life and Business Coaching for Millennials! This transition is part of being able to serve the audience that I most connect with and help them find the best version of themselves.

If you are a millennials you need to read below:

Are you a millennial who is struggling to find more purpose? 

Do you feel confused when you think about what you're created to do here?

Do you waste time on job search engines searching for a 'better fit'?

Do you feel unfulfilled with what you're doing on a day to day basis?

You don't have to feel that way anymore. Welcome to Life & Business Coaching for Millennials, a safe space where people from all walks of life can come together to learn, grow, and transform!  

A place where diversity is celebrated and encouraged. Where we can have open honest, real conversation about uncovering your purpose in business, feeling more joy in your life, and ultimately finding more happiness and success.

I look forward to having meaningful conversations and coaching sessions that will help you explore life and career options, be inspired, fueled, and filled with laughter.

It's time to Chit Chat with me, Jose Miguel... 

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how excited I am to bring you new episodes every week which will include a 50/50 split of coaching and interviews!

Share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @josemiguellongo for your chance to win a FREE 30 minute session. I will be choosing 3 winners each month and potentially selecting those winners to be on the podcast!!

Let’s dive into the episode!!

So, I left off last time talking about being in my early 20. This episode is a bit all over the place, but there are important things to understand about my 20 that summarize somewhat who I am and how I became this person I am today. I don’t verbally say because I went on several rants, but you can hear it in the layers of my story.

I don’t believe this will the last version of Getting to Know Me, but I think this helps you understand why I created this podcast and why being a life and business coach is so important to me.

I hope you enjoy and please leave a comment and/or review. It would mean the world to me!

I look forward to having meaningful conversations where we can explore stories and ideas and create a space for people to connect and feel like they belong.

EP 22: DESIGNING YOUR LIFE & CAREER: How To Mind Map The Life You Want & Deserve

Let's start by talking about what mind mapping is… 

A mind map is a visual diagram that showcases organized thoughts and ideas that help you visualize what you need clarity in, create alignment in your life and provide a space to visualize outcomes and/or goals

How do you create a mind map for your life and career? WRITE THESE DOWN

Start Small! Identify three things that give you the most joy in your life, this could be a place, an experience. Think about how these things, actions or ideas energize you.

Then following the same process, If you could be anything in the world and there were 0 barriers (money, education, family, etc) what would you be or do? WRITE IT DOWN

Come to the other side of the page. Pick the place or experience that gives the most excitement and joy. Do the same for the career. 

On the other side of your sheet of paper, in the middle of the page write a word affiliated to these two visions, like dream or life goals, future,etc. 

Then circle the word. Draw a line from the word and write down one of the chosen life experiences, place or thing. Then do the same for the job or thing you want to be. 

Continue to identify words and actions that come to mind from the two main visions of your life experience and the career you want. 

You’ve now created your mind map and it's time to share it! Connect with a friend, mentor, spouse, significant others whomever you trust and feel will hold you accountable to starting to visualize these goals/dreams. 

Take the time to reflect, focus and create well established goals for how you want to create this life. You may need to conduct informational interviewing/research to learn about the career and how to get there.

Have conversations with your loved ones about the life you want to live. Discuss how you can make changes to bring that vision to life and you can get their support.

Transitioning from personal to professional life, Jose gives a detailed account of toxicity in the workplace. In particular, he focuses on the unique challenges faced in human resource roles and everyone's need for open dialogue about these issues. He provides practical strategies for dealing with toxic work environments, either by seeking HR support or considering a career change when necessary.

EP80: Introduction to LinkedIn- Building Your Community & Network with Reena Friedman Watts

Hello Chit Chatters!

Welcome back to another episode of Coaching for Millennials! I am excited to share this new episode with you because I have a good friend of mine who is joining me to talk about one of my favorite social media, business, networking platforms- LinkedIn! 

If you haven't heard any episodes of the podcast before and this is your first one, know that LinkedIn is a common platform that we talk about and it is one of the places I make most of my connections with clients, guests and peers. It's also a great place for content sharing, community building and networking. 

What you can expect to hear in this conversation is an introductory conversation to LinkedIn. Reena and I have been on the platform almost since its inception. I wanted to host a conversation such as this one to help people and my awesome listeners with using the platform and why you should be joining. Listen in to learn about how to make connections, make engaging posts, join groups, establish a presence, get seen, get heard and build a community. 

Be on the lookout for future episodes on specific topics surrounding LinkedIn to help you build the best profile and brand, enhance your network, find a job, get hired, find your target audience and more!  Stay Tuned!

EP105: 60 Job Applications, 20 Interviews, 4 Job Offers

**STORY ALERT** 60 Job Applications, 20 Interviews, 4 Job Offers!

The job search journey is never easy, but it doesn't have to be hard!

2021 was definitely the year for recalculating (that was an intentional pun Lindsey Pollak) and I have been very lucky to have a huge support system of people by my side to get through it.

I was very strategic about how I spent my time researching companies and positions, while also recognizing my value, non-negotiables, and worth. I became more self-aware in what I wanted from my employer and the type of work I wanted to do.

I have worked in Higher Education for 12 years! 8 of them for The State University of New York and 4 years at Syracuse University. Pivoting out of higher ed and career development was something I never thought I would do or even say out loud. BUT the more time I spent searching and applying to different schools and companies, I realized it was time to make a change.

I knew that I didn't want to leave the education industry completely and my career has always been dedicated to career development, DEI and leadership. Three things that were part of my values and very important to me.

In my job search, I fell in love with one company in particular. I already had a working relationship as a customer with this company, but it wasn't until talking with my Relationship Manager at the time Scott Millslagle that it became clearer I was meant to work with Handshake.

I am very excited to share that I have accepted a position at Handshake as a Relationship Manager on the Education Success team! I am beyond thrilled to be joining the amazing people at Handshake and look forward to starting a bright new chapter in my career.

As a current Handshake partner school, I have a very close understanding to the mission and core values that the company represents:

• Students First 
• Focus on Impact 
• Empowered By Diversity 
• Move Quickly, But Don't Rush 
• Learn. Grow. Repeat. 

Students First, being the first core value and the one that has always resonated with me, but also the one that personally and professionally remains consistent to my work in #careerdevelopment and as a professional. I am excited about the amazing things I will have the opportunity to do at Handshake and to jump into my new role.  

Although my time at SUNY Polytechnic Institute is coming to an end, it is NOT the end of my time in higher ed. I will be serving as one of the instructors for the SUNY Center of Professional Development in the Career Readiness Champion Program. I will also be continuing to lead and facilitate StrengthsQuest training as a Gallup Strengths Coach. In addition, I have a coaching practice and podcast "Coaching For Millennials" that is continuing to grow every day.  

I am excited for all things that will come in 2022! Cheers to all of you and for a brighter new year!

EP 26: MAPPING YOUR CAREER: How to Discover & Design What You Should do For Work

It is often believed that what we study, if you got to college, will lead you on a path to a successful career. We'll as the amazing coach that I am, I am here to tell you that is false.

College is about exploring and learning about your skills, talents and values. It a time to dive deep into yourself and discover who you are, where you want to go and who you want to be.

The truth is 50% of college graduates don't lead fulfilling careers that were based on the major they studies while in college. I, know crazy to think that! You're probably wonder what, wait, why? What do I do now?

Well listen into this episode where I help you uncover the exploration phase, the informational interviewing phase, and the taking action phases of designing and discovering what you should do for work.

EP57: UNCOVERING YOUR STRENGTH SERIES: Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 1- Individualization

Hello Chit Chatters,

I am so excited to bring you this episode, the first in our series on Uncovering Your Strengths- Using Your Talents to Enhance Your Career, Life & Future; Session 1- INDIVIDUALIZATION

This particular Strength/Theme is one that shows up for me the most everyday. It’s the one I use everyday in my life and the one that honestly brings me the most joy! 

You’re probably wondering what does Individualization means, so Gallup/CliftonStrengths has a textbook definition for this one, literally their own textbook. In the book, Strengthfinder 2.0, From Gallup: Discover Your CliftonStrengths, it says “Your Individualization theme leads you to be intrigued  by the unique qualities of each person. You are impatient with generalizations or ‘types’ because you don’t want to obscure what is special and distinct about each person. Instead, you focus on the differences between individuals. You instinctively observe each person’s style, each person’s motivation, how each thinks and how each builds relationships. 

Now there is a lot more there to dig into when it comes to this particular definition and the details behind which is what we uncover into this episode. What I want you to know is this particular theme falls in the domain/category of Relationship Building. 

This helps people from all spaces of the world of work to not only be a strong leader in their space, but also to show up for their team and their individual staff/subordinate. 

If this sounds like you and you're ready to take action subscribe  to the podcast so you can get alerts when episodes on this series will be released and if you want to take the CliftonStrengths assessment here is a link to one of my coaching packages that offer it!

EP 27: PIVOTING TO SUCCESS: How to Assess Yourself to Build the Life You Want

I want to do a shout to all of the amazing superfans who listen to the show day in and day out and have taken the time to rate, review it and love it!

Thank you to @TheTiffanyHuff, Kristin Dronchi, ProducerKFC, & Jenilegs YOU PEEPS ROCK!!!

In this episode I am digging deep to help people find what the need to change to help them pivot into their success.

Change is a scary thing! No one really likes change and people usually struggle with accepting it. However from change comes a lot of growth, a lot lessons learned and tons of success.

BUT let’s clarify something about SUCCESS….

ONLY YOU can define your success

ONLY YOU have the ability to decide what a success is for you and your family

ONLY YOU can make your success a reality

ONLY YOU can take ACTION…to be SUCCESSFUL!!!

Do hear this? Well you’re reading it now! THIS IS GOLD!!!

This message right here is what’s really going to give you the leg up on shifting your mindset and your energy to get out of your comfort zone, lean into change and make some actions that will create the change for your LIFE!!

WHO IS WITH ME??

If you want to build a life that is successful to you, especially now that I know many people have been assessing their lives, wants, needs and future you need to take note some really important questions.

1. What do you want for your life? Be realistic and think about the things you can work hard at achieving.
2. What do you see yourself doing in the next 5 years? 10 years is too far and not tangible. 5 years will allow you to make some goals that you can achieve and have some impact in achieving them.

These are some big steps and questions to consider while make some changes. Start small and write down the things you enjoy the most and want to do more of. How can you make time for that?

MORE EPISODES COMING!!

I want to grow this show, the listeners and give you more coaching!

I am going to make a commitment to have 2 episodes a week. I am going to do my best to bring more content and amazing guests to the show to share thoughts on culture, society, business, life and coaching. Can’t wait for you to listen

EP21: HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BUSINESS USING A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT: Strategies to Overcome the Burnout While Being Efficient with Jacqueline Howard

Welcome Back! We are so glad you’re here!

In this episode I have a candid conversation with my good friend Jacqueline Howard about the value and strategies an Virtual Assistant (VA) can be to your business when you’re becoming overwhelmed and burnout. 

BRING YOUR PEN & NOTEBOOK FOR THIS ONE!!

The first strategy Jacqueline talks about is recognizing what are all the things you do in a day to day business. MAKE A LIST! 

• Spend time tracking your steps and action items that you do everyday. Write them down!
• Pay attention to the list and know which are the items you can source out and let someone do for you and what are the ones that you must do in your business. 

To make your burden lighter, work in your zone of genius! 

• Pay attention to what you are best at. What is that your business is doing and serving. Are you a presenter/speaker? Focus on doing that and let your VA do the rest. 

How can you develop a relationship with a VA to know if they are going to be a good fit for you in all the things you’re willing to give up?

• Identify small things that will not hurt your business and looking for ways that the work you share with can provide accountability

Give this person:

• General/small tasks: social media, email list, procedures or outlines
• Work with the person to have a discovery call and see if can be a match for that person

Looking for a VA Job? Seeking to Pivot Into Becoming a Virtual Assistant?

• Most VA’s are a jack of all trades
• Try to not pigeonhole yourself, but try all the things that will help you determine the area of focus for the VA role that you want to do. FIND WHAT YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON
• Look at the industry that you like and love. What is that catches your eye and what you follow. 
• Get deep into the industry and where the businesses are that need something you can offer. 

Places to Find VA Jobs

Social Media Manager FB Groups

Digital Nomad FB Group

Look at LinkedIn

EPISODE 8: STRUGGLING TO FIND YOUR PURPOSE IN YOUR CAREER & LIFE? How to Land Your Next Job & Get What You Want! 

Please note this episode has no editing. I felt I like I need to connect with all of you and basically jumped on the laptop, put on the headphone and clicked record. I hope you don't mind. :)

Hello Chit Chatters!

Life is all about living, learning and growing. I have been doing a lot of growing and learning, but also self-reflecting. I learned recently that a part of me is more vulnerable than I thought it was. Like many others out there, I have been struggling with the death of George Floyd and seeking how to support my brothers and sisters of color. I’ve been struggling with how I can speak what I am feeling and how to be mindful and empathetic to black people. 

I shared perhaps one of my most vulnerable posts on Instagram recently that was really eye opening. I am a Hispanic 36 year old gay millennial. I am a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. I identify as a person of color. 

Those words made me cry when I wrote them. I cried a little even writing them again. Yes my skin color is lighter than my brothers and sisters of color. How can I help in the movement of #BlackLivesMatter? How can I stand with my brothers and sisters? I USED MY VOICE! 

I spoke up on a few occasions over the past few days and shared how white supremacy and white privilege can’t continue. How we need to have conversations that are hard and definitely powerful but we need to discuss the implicit bias, we need to talk about the microaggressions and the systemic-racism. These conversations are learning opportunities for all. 

I am no expert and don’t pretend to me. But I am sure passionate about social issues, creating change for diversity, equity and inclusion. I have fought for this since I was 11 years old! 

Now this episode is 20 minutes long and I don’t go too deep into everything regarding the #BlackLivesMatter, but I share a few thoughts on how I have been feeling. I can tell you I am in pain and deeply saddened. At the same time I am hopeful for the change that we are creating in our world right now! 

I also talked about what to expect with the show in the upcoming weeks. I have an episode coming up on Monday with two of my colleagues where we dive in on how white people can help in the #BlackLivesMatter movement and they speak to their experiences as African Americans in their community. 

We will also be having some live coaching sessions! I am excited to bring you these 3 amazing coaching sessions with some gals that I met in my Facebook Community. 

PLUS…

This episode goes into detail on how I can help you discover your purpose in life and your career. Are you currently jobless, unemployed or seeking and stuck! I CAN HELP! Let’s set up a coaching session and get you employed, fulfilled and unstuck! 

I talk about creating the perfect resume for your dream job, SEO and ATS. I am an expert at resume and cover letter writing and my strategies are proven to get you the interview!!

This episode is filled with emotion, energy and passion from beginning to end.

BONUS EPISODE! EP52: ARE YOU MULTI-PASSIONATE? How To Accomplish All The Things Without The Burnout

Hello Chit Chatters!

Welcome to this bonus episode for this week! Today I am digging into ridding yourself of the burnout when you're a multi-passionate. My tips for getting shit done!

Bring your pen and paper for this one because you're gonna want to write down these notes!

 What's most important going into this is the mindset work you need to prepare for to really accomplish what you want. You're probably saying what does that mean?

Here are the two mindset for this: SELF-AWARENESS & SELF REFLECTION

This is going to give you the constant reminder of where you are and where you want to go to achieve your goals in this journey!

Here's how we start...

Think of all the things you want to accomplish. We are going to label them with what is IMPORTANT (I), what is a PRIORITY (P) and what brings you JOY (J). I call this my IPJ method. I've used the I & P  for years and as time went on I realized that the energy of where I spend most of my time needs to be surrounded by what brings me the most JOY! So I added the J into this. 

You're probably saying, everything is Important!! I will agree that every is important, but not everything is a Priority! - I get this is hard, but trust me. You will thank me later when you do this. 

NOW... You need to be very practical and realistic to have the most IMPACT on what is delivering  you the most joy in all the things. 

After you've made your list, go back and label each thing with the IPJ. Be very realistic. YOUR TIME IS PRECIOUS!! 

Here is the hard part, think about what isn't bringing you the joy and cross it off your list. Be sure to look at the items on your list that have all three (IPJ) or a (PJ). Circle them.  

I know this is hard. If you're really being self-aware and paying attention to what you value and how you want to spend your time to make these tough decisions. If you're more aware, scratching these things will be easier. 

To help you gain clarity on how to do all of this and if you're stuck and not sure where to start here are some questions to jump start this process...

1. What brings you the most joy?
2. What is the impact of your passion project?
3. What is going to bring you revenue?
4. How much time are you going to spend on these projects?
5. Who is being impacted by this and where will all this get you? 
6. What is it that you value most in your life and what's it going to take to build this?

USE YOUR HEART! Lean into what is giving you the most value. Keep asking yourself..

What will this do for your future? What is the potential of this? 

Now that we've mapped this out a bit you can see how you can still be multi-passionate in achieving the things that you know will make you more successful and make your business, career and life stronger because you've focused your energy on what's giving you the most joy! 

Let me know what you think in the comments and be sure to share this episode with someone you think needs this in their life. If you found value in today's episode, please leave a review on apple podcast and on podchaser. Reviews help the show grow and be seen by more people.

I want to start by outlining a few things....

What is resilience?

According to the Oxford Dictionary, resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

At it's core, resiliency is a matter of shifting, pivoting your mindset to to a positive space. Life can sometimes serve you some very challenging shit, but it's but to you to believe and affirm how you're going to overcome and move forward! 

Here are my top 6 ways to take action, dig deep and overcome your challenges/problems and help you become a strong resilient YOU!

1. Attitude of Gratitude

2. Trust in GOD

3. Create a Vision for How You Plan To Overcome Your Feelings/Emotions and Solve Your Problems/Challenges

4. Reach Out To Your Support System

5. Mindfulness & Wellness

6. Explore New Beginnings

EPISODE 9: A CHIT CHAT CONVERSATION ON #BLACKLIVESMATTER MOVEMENT, RACE, & SOCIAL INEQUALITY: Where Do We Go From Here? With Guests Doneilous King & Melissa Prest

Let’s have a conversation about understanding what is happening in our country right now, what are all the terms people are seeing and hearing and how can our white brothers and sisters stand with us in the social justice movement, the new civil rights movement. 

***Please excuse the audio as this is recorded conversation where I wanted to bring you the raw unedited audio that is truly authentic.*** 

I also want to make you aware that this is an educational conversation among my colleagues and myself. We are feeling the pain that is happening in the world in the social justice movement, #BlackLivesMatter and we wanted to share with listeners how they can engage in a conversation.  

If there is anything you take away from this episode is to engage in conversation with your black friends and family. LISTEN!!! Listen to what is happening and people’s experiences. We all need to learn and we all need to be part of the conversation to help make the change. 

Let’s Dive In!

What is EOP? 

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) has been around for over 50 years. Initially started in New York state. It’s a state funded program that designs to increase education for historically disadvantaged, under-represented populations. Specifically for students who are able to succeed in college, but due to certain circumstances wouldn’t normally be admitted into college. The program is designed to help students achieve academic success while having a positive college experience and helping them succeed in their life after college.

For more information on the EOP Program in New York go here: https://www.suny.edu/attend/academics/eop/

How has the situation impacted you as an educator and what do you say to someone who doesn’t understand? 

Melissa shares that she grew up multiculturally and she believes it important to use life experiences and how your views are shaped to better understand what we are living with. 

Doneilous shared that it is important to educate ourselves as much as our students/young people. It’s important to keep them safe, but  also help them understand the importance and values of voting, civic engagement, politics, history, and lead them into a positive place in society. More importantly loving who you are and where you come from. Accept those parts of you and love yourself! 

How is today’s movement different from the one we have seen in recent years and the civil rights movement? 

More people who would oftentimes not find themselves affected by what is happening are getting involved and are recognizing that it is going to take everybody to make it better. 

At the root of it, Black People have been historically seeking Human Rights and Equal Right which is a basic fundamental value and right that white people have always had, but black people have had to fight for. 

The difference between today and the past is that social media plays a pivotal role in how it is seen and how it is being circulated. Harnessing the power of social media to not just share it but use it as the tool for the voice. The response of the people and their reaction to get involved has ignited people to go out and support the change that is not just social but a fight for equality in the treatment of black.

How can you educate someone who is white and is trying to educate themselves on what they are seeing and hearing?

Supporters or white allies, be humble and become a listener. Watch movies and documentaries that can help you understand the historical context and educate yourself a little to see the history of how this has been building. It will help understand how black people have suffered for hundreds of years for what has been done to them. From slavery to Jim Crow Laws, to Civil Right Movement in the 1960’s.

People can also understand what white privilege is. It’s been a super power in america that has built an advantage or a generational pass through. To be white in america is to never have to know the black experience. 

What can white people do? 

They need to put black people at the table and not let them be part of the menu. 

White people are not qualified to decide what issue is race related. For example, if you want to learn about domestic violence, you talk to the victim not the perpetrator. White privilege prohibits people from seeing racism and microaggressions. 

White people need to understand the agents of the overarching problem which is white supremacy. You don’t have to be racist but you’re perpetuating the values of racism. 

You have to go back to where racism comes from. Racism is learned behavior and it starts in the home. A young child doesn’t know what racism is, their values and sometimes it’s faith driven. Understanding where someone’s racism is stemmed from and how it is embedded into someone’s views and beliefs. People have to experience it to understand it. 

Recognizing the built in racism and hate that religion to have the conversation of where it stemmed from. Understanding and knowing the history is important to be able to move forward to create the change that is needed for today and the future. 

What is the takeaway from this movement and what would you as a black person want people to know and be aware of? 

Share in someone’s pain. Learn, listen and share in the experiences of being able to validate someone’s experiences. 

It’s important to hold people accountable. People of color are always fixing their problem in society. It’s important to hold people accountable for their actions in the situation we are living in right now, this is a problem for everyone, but caused by white people and white people need to fix it even though it is perceived as it is only impacting black people. 

Guest Bio & Info

Thanks again to both of my guests, Donelious and Melissa in having this conversation with me. It is not only important for people to start having more conversations such as this one, but to be forgiving of people who are unaware of the terms and the language that is being used. As we mentioned earlier in the episode some white people aren’t aware of what white privilege means. This is key to help others learn but also allow them to be part of the conversation to create awareness, support, and create a social impact.

EP100: 100 Episodes Of Coaching For Millennials: Look How Far We've Come!

Hello Chit Chatters!

WE DID IT!! 100 episodes of the podcast, "Coaching For Millennials: Career | Life | LinkedIn." This is a huge milestone and accomplishment. I always say life is meant to be celebrated, big or small. Take the time to appreciate and reflect on what you've accomplished. It's so important to see and recognize your growth and success. Every win is one worth celebrating. 

Reflecting on the last 100 episodes, I really wasn't sure what the show was going to become and where it was going. I only knew that it was something I wanted to do and needed to do for my own sanity. I was in a really shitty place mentally and emotionally and the podcast became comforting. No one was around except me, my microphone and my two goldendoodles. The more I learned about podcasts, creating content, sharing it with the world and seeing what it could become, I knew I was doing the right thing. 

The point is that if you have a dream or desire that you want to achieve, DO IT! Stop making excuses or telling yourself that you can't because it just is NOT TRUE!! We all have gifts and talents just waiting to be uncovered. Our dreams are fueled by what we see, hear, and learn. You just need a little extra push to believe in yourself and do it messy. Because guess what, no one is going to know or care that you're not an expert and that you screwed something up. Follow your heart and mind and take one step at a time. I GOT YOU!!!

If this session brought you value today and if it impacted your life, please share it with someone who needs it. And it would mean the world to me if you would leave me a review! I read every single one of them and give shouts on the show too! XO!

As always, I offer a free discovery call to anyone who is ready to make money moves and I mean really, let's make money moves for you! Below is the link to my Calendly to jump into one of my sessions.

EP 24: THE DONUT SHACK: Defining Your Passion & Pivoting to Success with Nicole Vivieros

In this episode I had a conversation with my friend Nicole about her new venture, The Donut Shack. Being a baker was something Nicole had been super passionate about for over 7 years. She had started small back in 2013 and was distracted by LIFE!

She put her baking dreams on hold and shifted her multi-passionate entrepreneur ideas to wanting to create retreats. She ultimately wanted to create an Adult Girl Scout experience and create delicious confections for her troops.

Nevertheless she kept finding herself further away from her original passion of creating food for people. As life went on Nicole discovered that she had a diary allergy and couldn’t eat certain foods especially donuts. She then came up with the idea of creating a donut that is 100% Vegan, Dairy Free, Nut Free.

BUT…It gets better, Nicole isn’t an ordinary baker she is also a Construction Manager! Nicole knew she always wanted to do something with baking, but she is using her current full-time role to help make the side hustle the real deals.

In this episode you can hear the following takeaways:

1. All it takes is 20 seconds of courage: most things we find to be uncomfortable, confusing or even awkward will pass. Take a dive a something your gut is telling you to do is the first step to getting to where you want to go.
2. Make a list: Look at all the things you love to do and write them down. You’re going to always looks for ways to help your business grow and pivot
3. Don’t give up on your failures: Mis-steps and failures are intended for us to grow and be able to learn from them. The period where we feel that we failed miserably are moments of success in learn how to be the best version of what you need to do.
4. Consistency: This probably the most important of them all. You want to make sure everything you set out to do you do it consistently and don’t stop

EP62: INSTAGRAM BRANDING: 3 Strategies For Building Your Presence

Hey Chit Chatters!

This week I have my good friend and Instagram Coach Allison Scholes on the show and she is sharing her top 3 Instagram Strategies for Building Your Presence!

In this episode you will want to bring your pen and paper to take some awesome notes. 

Allison shares that to be visible and present on the Instagram platform you need to understand and have the following: 

1. A personal branding (3 pillars) that speaks to who you are trying to attract to your content. 

2. You must have a stellar bio that says who you are and who you are serving

3. And lastly you must create content categories to push out on the platform. 

• To do this you need to work on building relationships and making connections with your audiences and others who are in the same space as your brand. 
• This will require you to understand the story you are telling and creating
• Provide value to your followers and be strategic about your messaging
• Lastly have a voice and create visuals

Hello Friends,

Welcome to another episode. I am so glad you're here listening with us today. In this episode I map out the 4 most common reasons why many people and myself include struggle to live in our true potential. 

Everyone is always a work in progress of the best version of themselves. To grow and succeed to get to the next level, you ALWAYS need to reflect and understand what is keeping you from the next level and learn what is preventing you for getting there sooner. 

These 4 pain points will help you know when they are happening and how to uncover them and be more aware. 

I. Comfort Zone

II. Imposter Syndrome & What Others Think

III. Perfectionism

IV. Linking Your Beliefs & Values

Be sure to bring your notebook or journal for this one because you're gonna want to right down every details. 

Enjoy!

Xo,

José Miguel

Have you ever tried to do something but stopped yourself as you were doing it? 

UGH!! You were so close! This me all the time!! Is this you? 

In this BONUS episode I talk about my battle with getting out of my head and what tricks and tips I use to overcome fear, imposter syndrome and self sabotage.

• I would encourage you to have friends, family, mentor or coach that can support you through these trick periods. Oftentimes you are your own worst enemy.

• Give yourself a mindset pep talk! NOT TODAY SATAN! Kick that negative business to the curb!

• I have an affirmation journal I use that always helps me and it is my daily journal, but also my best friend. (see more about the journal below)

• Always lean with courage over comfort. These periods are about growth and learning. We are all human and fear is a natural instinct. Choosing courage will help you win every time!

EP45: Let Me Reintroduce Myself: Podcast Rebrand |Gaining Clarity Through God |Digging Deeper in My Audience & Niche

Welcome to a very special episode of the podcast. As you may have seen or heard we have gone through some changes in our branding. YAASSSS!

Now to clarify, these changes aren't big, they are just a clearer picture of who I am as your host and how I've grown in the last 8 months. With each episode, each week and each month that went by, I was learning so much about myself. The message I wanted to deliver, I became more confident and comfortable in my own skin, owning my show and serving you as my audience. Can I tell you how amazing that feels?  

These small refreshing changes are a reflection of the time we have spent together over the last 8 months! I appreciate all of you for showing up and listening. 

Growth+Clarity=Change Change is good and can help people come out of their comfort zone. That’s one of the things we talk about all the time on the show is the great things that come when you step out of your comfort zone, you let God in and you trust the process.  

In this episode, I introduce Coaching for Millennials which is the refreshed name of our podcast. This name is an evolution of what the podcast was. I dug really deep into my core with God for him to show how to serve the people I am here to help. This evolution comes with time and willingness to take the journey. I worked hard and let Him guide me. You should too! 

Let’s get specific! Coaching for Millennials: Career | Life | LinkedIn- THAT’S DEEP! 

Yes my friends it is and I am so confident about how we’re going to uncover topics about everyday life and living with more purpose and intention. 

I am so excited about all of the things career related that can help you have an amazing career and business (you can have both if you want them!)

Then there is LinkedIn which is totally my jam. I am going to bring you guests that are REAL experts on this platform, but I am going to help you uncover strategies for LinkedIn that will help you in your professional life, create connections, a community, enhance your career and find clients for your business. 

Let’s Go! I am here for you!

EP 13: FROM SIDE GIG TO SIDE HUSTLE: How Building Your Own Business From The Ground Up Can Give You Life. Lesson from a Millennial Workaholic

In today’s episode, I am sharing with you my experiences of having many side gigs to launch my side hustle which is now Coaching with Jose Miguel. I’ve always wanted to have my own business, be my own boss! However, I had to go through a journey of personal growth, develop confidence and make lots and lots of mistakes to discover my true purpose in creating the side hustle. 

This episode goes deep into what I’ve learned so far in launching my coaching business, creating the podcast, building my website and the meat and potatoes in between. 

I share how I created my avatar to figuring out my niche. Both are essential in the first stages of launching a business. 

I also discuss the value in understanding what you're selling and how and who you’re serving it to. Someone once told me that a confused buyer doesn’t buy. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. Guess what I am still learning and growing. 

There is no right or wrong way to grow and launch your business. Yes there are all types of best practices out there that people will sell you to make a buck, but ultimately you need to use your talents, skills and values to dig deep and find what your business aka side hustle should be.

One of the pieces I forgot to mention in the episode is I highly recommend finding a coach or a mentor who can support you, guide you and hold you accountable in achieving goals for your business along the way. Setting up goals is a fundamental function to lead your business to succeed. 

If you’re interested in learning more about how to launch your business or are looking for a coach to mentor you, guide you and hold you accountable I am here to help! Be sure to reach out to book a consultation.

EP 12: NOT MAKING YOUR DREAMS A REALITY? 4 Steps to Discovering Your Passion & Making Your Dreams a Reality

In this episode I share with you 4 simple ways to make your dreams a reality while discovering your passion, fueling your strengths and igniting your motivation to making your dreams come true!

Be sure to grab your favorite beverage and notebook and pen. This one is going to be good! 

STEP 1: FIND YOUR PASSION

• Identify what excites and energizes you!
  • Grab a notebook and pen and start to write down the activities that you enjoy the most and how you feel when you do them.
• Assessments are an option as opposed to digging deep into your inner child, but this type of activity will help you get clearer about your inner child and the things you were passionate about when you were a kid that you then become distracted by as you get older. 
  • I love assessment tools and think that they are a great value. If you’re interested in taking a personality assessment please contact me so I can connect you to the best one. 

STEP 2: Invest in Your Strengths

• Take an honest inventory of what you do best.
• Think of a time when you were at your best.
• Ask your friends and family what they think you do well. 
• Write these things down and start to organize them by categories or themes
• Spending time assessing your talents is critical to helping you work towards your passion and make sure that your skills and talents are aligned. 

STEP 3: Tap Into Your Motivation

• Think about what you need to stay motivated and what motivates you!
• Set meaningful and realistic goals.
• Find what's gonna drive you to succeed and achieve your goals and success
• Find someone who is going to hold you accountable and motivate you to achieve your goals.
• Be sure to start thinking about the future as you start to achieve the goals you’ve set so you can be strategic in each step. 

STEP 4: Stay on Course

• Make sure you’re using your passion to fuel your strengths that you continue to ignite your plans and goals.

Episode 23: PASSION VS PURPOSE: How to Fuel Your Passion & Connect to Your Purpose

In this week’s episode we are talking about the discovery and exploration of passion vs. purpose. Both are different but connected.

Here is this quote I mentioned, “Life is a process, not an outcome. It’s like a dance, with a really good set of dance moves” – Bill Burnett

What is Passion?

Passion is used to describe and define emotions & feelings.

It resembles strength and conviction to things we love or hate.

It shares powerful enthusiasm that can often display our deepest desires.

What is Purpose?

Purpose is defined in a more intentional level and way. It’s connected to our behavior, it influences our goals, provide direction and gives us meaning.

Most people would say their purpose is what get them up in the morning and their reason for living.

Purpose also has a deeply rooted connection to achieving a goal that is often long-term but most importantly are meaningful both personally and professionally.

Our passion will fuel our purpose and give it the energy to live and connect to goals that can help us achieve satisfaction and success.

In a more symbolic lens, passion fuels the excitement and motivation to allow purpose to allow purpose to follow the journey through life.

How to Connect Your Passion & Purpose?

Passion will ALWAYS come first. It’s the vehicle that will allow the purpose to take you on the journey. The connection is YOU pushing the start button or turning the ignition.

To find your purpose…

You need to EXPLORE!

Spend time thinking about what you like and you don’t like to discover the things that truly give you the energy and motivation you for what you want to spend all of your time doing them.

These things should be things that excite you and come easy to you.

Keep a journal to document your journey. In this process, ask yourself these questions and make a list:

• What are your favorite things in the world?
• When you wake up in the morning what motivates and excite you?
• Draft a statement of purpose you’re choosing to live by
• Follow your heart and listen to god’s calling
• Determine where you want to go with this calling, goal and journey

Building the Passion….

Passion is going to drive you to take the journey and help you practice the things in your statement of purpose. It’s important to take the time to explore the things and to them. Try them and try them again to affirm your goals, statement and solidify your passion.

EP72: The F Word, A Disease Everyone Has....

Hello Chit Chatters!

Welcome back to another episode of Coaching For Millennials. 

Today I wanted to share with you a disease that everyone has, but no one wants to talk about...

It's FEAR!!!

Let's dig deep into what causes people to live with FEAR and what is preventing them from taking action in what they want in their lives! 

In this episode, I shared with you how everyone's fears are connected to their inner saboteur. There are 9 distinct saboteurs that we all have in our lives. Let's go deep in uncovering them and learning how we can be more aware of when they are present so we can overcome our fears and start taking action!

The saboteur assessment that I shared in this episode is brought to you by Shirzad Chamine’s New York Times bestseller and Stanford lectures.

Research included 500,000 participants, world class athletes, and leaders from every Fortune 100 company.

EP71: What's Your Super Hero Power?

Hello Chit Chatters,

Thank you for showing up every week for a new episode of the show. 

Today we are diving into what your super hero powers are. Everyone has them and often we struggle to unleash them. Listen in as I share my super hero powers and how I can help you discover and use yours!

XO,

José Miguel

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Coaching for Millennials. For all of us navigating this wild ride of adulting, some days it can feel like fear is holding the steering wheel, and we're stuck in the passenger seat. But what if we could snatch that power back?

Today, we're getting down into the roots of fear, understanding where it comes from, and how we can use it as fuel for success. Let's dive in!"

Dissecting Fear: Where Does it Live?

Fear isn't all bad – evolutionarily, it kept us safe. Our modern fears: failure, rejection, the unknown, public speaking, being 'seen'. How fear manifests: avoidance, procrastination, self-sabotage. Fear, Imposter Syndrome, & Limiting Beliefs Our inner critic - it's fueled by fear. "I'm not good enough," "I'll fail" – these are FEAR talking, not truth.

Limiting beliefs hold us back from opportunities and personal growth. Courage: The Antidote It's NOT about being fearless, but acting in spite of fear. Small acts of courage build confidence – like raising your hand in a meeting! Courage lets us pivot – saying 'no', or changing careers when we're unhappy.

Strategies for Mastering Your Fears Acknowledgement:

Name your fear (it loses power in the light). Challenge your thoughts: Is this fear realistic? What's the worst that could happen? Reframing: See fear as a sign you're stepping into growth territory. Visualization: Imagine yourself succeeding despite the fear.

Call to Action

"What's ONE tiny but courageous act you can commit to this week? Maybe it's sending that job application, asking for that raise, or even just having that difficult conversation. Write it down, put it somewhere visible, and DO IT!

Key Takeaways

Fear is normal, but it doesn't have to control you. Fear often shows up as imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs. Courage is a muscle, it grows stronger with use. Small acts of courage can lead to huge shifts in your life.

Positive Affirmations

I am capable of overcoming my fears.

I choose courage over comfort.

My fears do not define me.

I am stepping into my power.

Call to Action Identify one specific fear you have.

Write down a tiny action step you can take, despite that fear Do that action within the next 48 hours Share your success stories with the show!

"Remember, you are far more powerful than your fears. Let's keep choosing courage, and I'll be right here cheering you on. Until next time!" #millennials #genZ #genX #courage #fear #life #career # purpose #passion #impostersyndrome #saboteur #overcome
