DAY 1 - Why you're not landing job offers and what did land (99) offers in 2025

By far the most eye opening training I've done so far in my career in a time when people are needing it the most.

I covered what it takes to have a successful job search (The number one thing that kills a job search)

Where to put your time energy attention to maximize your results (of a job offer)

What most people are doing which is keeping them stuck wasting time on things that (have a very low success rate)

What to implement immediately

Did a quick Q&A at the end.

More tomorrow! This was just DAY 1.

We dive into not just how to create opportunity but how to close it and how everything works together.

Based on evidence, lots of stats to prove it. Let's go!

Are you secretly talking yourself into applying for lower-level jobs because "at least it's something"? In this episode, I'm exposing the sneaky brain trick that's keeping you from the opportunities you actually deserve.

After reviewing 99+ job offer announcements and countless coaching transcripts, I discovered something that stopped me in my tracks: almost every client who came to me was already slipping into desperation mode—and one was about to apply for jobs paying even less than she'd just left. Four months later, she accepted an offer for $40,000 more in her dream field.

I break down why your brain would rather have awful certainty than thrilling uncertainty, the "rejects club" mentality that's shrinking your capacity for success, and the exact moment in interviews where people unknowingly give up. Plus, I reveal the counterintuitive messaging method that gets responses when everyone else's messages get ignored. If you've been told to "just keep going" or that landing a job "just takes time," this episode will challenge everything you think you know.

Have you been doing "all the right things" in your job search but still not landing offers? In this episode, I reveal why that might be—and it has nothing to do with your qualifications.

After reviewing 99+ job offer announcements from my audience and reflecting on hundreds of coaching hours, I've identified two major misbeliefs that keep even the most qualified candidates stuck in rejection cycles. These beliefs are so sneaky that you probably don't even realize they're running the show.

I share the exact mindset shift my own coach gave me years ago that I had to learn in my business (and why it applies directly to your job search), plus the surprising truth about what's really happening in those interviews where you thought everything went well. If you've been applying, networking, and interviewing without results, there are specific blind spots you simply can't see on your own.

Have you ever told yourself "just be confident" or "just get over it" and wondered why it didn't actually help? In this episode, I'm breaking down why these common pieces of advice are completely useless—and what to do instead when you need to bounce back from a disappointing interview.

I share a powerful coaching moment with a client who felt like she "messed up" an interview by not asking the right questions. Instead of letting her spiral in the "I should have known better" trap, we dug into exactly why she didn't pause to get curious—and extracted a career-changing lesson she'll carry forever. This is what real growth looks like, not surface-level platitudes.

Learn why your brain literally doesn't know what to do with advice like "just believe in yourself," the iceberg analogy that explains what's really happening beneath interview questions, and why trying to be perfect is actually keeping you from getting hired. Plus, I share fresh insights from hiring managers I just interviewed who confirm: you don't need to check all the boxes. You need the right mindset foundation to handle curveballs skillfully.

Have you ever beaten yourself up after a disappointing interview, replaying all the things you "should have" said differently? In this episode, I'm breaking down the two types of disappointment—and why one of them is completely optional suffering you're adding to yourself.

Fresh off a group coaching call where disappointment kept coming up, I dive into why we think beating ourselves up will make us perform better next time (spoiler: it won't). Learn the difference between "clean" disappointment (a normal response to an unfavorable outcome) and the layered suffering that comes from telling yourself "I should have known better."

I share powerful coaching breakthroughs from two clients—one afraid of succeeding because "what if I fail?", another stuck because she didn't follow through on a referral. Discover why your brain can't just "get over it," the compost vs. garbage metaphor that will change how you process setbacks, and my favorite tool (EFT tapping) for actually moving through difficult emotions. This is about turning your disappointments into rocket fuel instead of letting them weaken you.

Have you ever hesitated to ask your employer to pay for professional development because you thought it would make you look incapable? In this episode, I sit down with Kim Nicol, host of The New Manager Podcast, to reveal why getting your company to invest in your growth is actually one of the smartest career moves you can make.

Kim shares the powerful mindset shift that transforms asking for training from feeling like begging to positioning yourself as a proactive leader. We break down the exact framework for making the pitch—identifying what you want, who to ask, when to ask, and how to equip decision-makers to advocate on your behalf. Plus, Kim tells the incredible story of a client who turned a few-hundred-dollar course request into a company-wide $500 professional development budget for everyone.

Learn why "no" is just information (not failure), how asking for training is actually low-stakes practice for negotiating raises and promotions, and why the skill of self-advocacy might be the most valuable thing you develop in your career. Whether you're already employed or interviewing for your next role, this conversation will change how you think about professional development forever.

Have you ever heard advice like "have more conversations" or "communicate your value" and thought, "I'm already doing that—why isn't it working?" In this episode, I'm revealing the four open secrets to getting hired that everyone talks about but almost no one executes correctly.

These aren't hidden strategies—they're things you've heard a million times. The problem? There's a massive gap between knowing these surface-level tips and actually mastering the nuances that make them work. I break down exactly what's missing when people say "referrals don't work anymore" or "I know my value but can't convince others of it."

Learn why meaningful conversations aren't just networking, how to communicate value without falling into "convincing mode," what makes stories compelling beyond the STAR method, and why the questions you ask matter more than the answers you give. Plus, I share how one of my clients landed two job offers in one day by applying these principles correctly.
