On Career Coaching: CVs, job interviews
‘I was starting a professional transition, so it was really helpful to prioritize and stay calm about the future, discovering what I really wanted to do and pushing me to that goal.’
‘I thought Jessica was great. She helped me gain my confidence by working with me to revamp myself, as I had been in the same job for years and needed a change.’
‘I have gotten much better at interviewing.’
‘It helped me understand better and get a clearer picture of where I wanted to go next in my career.’
‘The coaching helps me make a CV that states my strengths, scope and achievement in a much clearer and straightforward way. Besides, it inspires me to list out qualities which I was not aware of, but could be appreciated by potential employers. I feel 100% comfortable to share all information with her because of her professional knowledge and excellent understanding of the employee’s and employer’s mentality. The coaching definitely inspires people who are not motivated / happy about their current job to obtain tools necessary to pursue a job better fits their qualification.’
“I like that I can get a outside view about me. She helps me understand, identify and appreciate my skills and strengths. She helps me know myself better, and more about what I do.”
‘You’re helping me connect with myself, with what I love, with what matters to me. I feel alive, I feel empowered. I’m more aware of my possibilities. You exceeded the expectations! The main outcome was about me, my purpose, what’s important, beyond communication. You’ve put your head, your mind, your heart into this process.’
‘I particularly loved the methodology. I saw the importance to demonstrate learnings and how I managed specific situations.’
“She asks me all the right questions that remind me the special things about what I do and how I achieve my work responsibilities.”
‘Jessica showed me the most relevant characteristics of my professional experience. Now I can highlight them in my interview!’
“Me permitió evidenciar las debilidades que tenía en la hoja de vida que venía manejando, identificar los aspectos más cruciales a la hora de construir una hoja de vida y organizar la información de manera ordenada y clara para hacerla más atractiva al evaluador. También me permitió mejorar de manera notable mis habilidades de comunicación.”
“I got the job! I am able to have the next challenge because of you. I am able to go from a local director to a regional director because of your help with the interviews.”
‘I would definitely recommend her. She is a very good coach. She is straightforward and helps you highlight the best of you in an interview!’
On Communication & Executive Coaching
‘The result was obvious. It’s in the numbers – it’s reflected in my bonus. As a company we over-achieved, we were number one in Mexico this year.’
‘Before I was so nervous speaking to the senior executives, especially if the meetings were in English. Now I’m able to have the conversations whenever. I’m more ready for the next step in my career.’
‘I feel like a brand new car after taking the coaching sessions. I noticed my performance after applying the techniques from the coaching session. I’m using open questions with others. They help identify the main purpose of the meeting. I feel more calm after our sessions. I’m comfortable taking the time.’
‘I feel more confident. I improved my communication skills, my mindset. Before taking the coaching sessions, my mind was focused more on tactical, execution / actions. Now after 4 months, I improved my strategic vision. I feel more effective, remembering the end destination – the ultimate objective.’
’The forum was perfect. They applauded when the session ended. They congratulated me and told me it was brilliant. They loved the topic. I was sincere about my feelings and I engaged during my presentation. Thank you for helping me believe in myself, stick to the plan, even though the Steering Committee did not believe in it.’
‘I feel very good! Like you went to the gym and you feel, huh, I’ve done it! I feel fulfilled. I’m in a different place. As if I used to play soccer, I was out of breath. Now I go to the gym, run 20km, I don’t feel like I’m suffering anymore.’
‘This is a great change in my life, all the coaching progress has positive impact on me, not only business relationships, but also my personal relationships.‘
‘Although my job is strategic, I used to spend time on follow-ups, chasing for deliverables. They didn’t respond to my requests. They took a long time to deliver results. Now this has changed, because I’m more accurate about the request, I’m highlighting the benefits of the deliverable. In the past, I always had to ask for a few extra days to meet the deadlines. Now, my region is the first to send the deliverables. The way I wrote my emails changed. In the past, I wrote a long email, with many details. Now I point out the importance / benefits to deliver on time. Now people respond more quickly and accurately!’
‘Jessica, the last month we’ve been working together, [my performance] across different people – top management, my team, my reports – has been very good. You’re responsible for that. You’re a very good coach.’
‘I’m very happy about having you as my coach because you made me aware of the connections and learn about ways that I can improve my communications. You really made a difference in my life and I can use your tips not only for interviews, but for other situations in my life and work. Communication is about making the connections with people. I was also able to know myself better.’
‘If you compare my presentations now, to my presentation before, the number of slides is reduced dramatically. The key message is clearer; I remember you asked me, ‘what do you think when you see this slide?’ Then I think – ‘it’s not clear!’
‘Sometimes, I see that I’m not looking at the camera. Then I remind myself, then pay attention to the camera again, use short phrases, simple words. This requires daily practice. Some days I do what I’ve done for many years, it’s hard to switch. I need to keep reminding myself.’
In the past, when I spoke with people in English from other countries, I felt nervous, my voice changed, I started sweating, I felt I needed to end the call asap. Now I feel comfortable having the conversation. My message is clear.’
‘I feel comfortable to talk in the sessions. Through precise questions, I have come to my own conclusions, making it a very transformational journey.’
‘You are soooo strong at getting the right ideas out of me, to help me articulate and express myself so I can communicate my messages to others.’
‘I particularly liked the way you pushed me to be my best, even though it is not easy to face one’s fears.’
“You are so good at identifying what needs to be said. You made the best of me. And you are so smart, asking challenging questions and engaging me in interesting conversations, bringing stimulating and new materials to the class to keep me engaged. I have had many teachers before but they were boring.”
‘I liked how I have more information about myself (self knowledge), and how it is possible to be conscious about my issues so that I can overcome them.’
‘The process that helps you open up, be honest but also be critical about your perceptions and paradigms.’
‘I learnt many new things, such as how different people from different countries have different behaviours.’
‘When I prepared for my relocation to China, our coaching sessions help me to understand a lot about the Chinese culture and the differences we have. We discussed how to talk in a meeting with people from other regions, or how to share your own story and the social etiquettes in China.’

They help me better understand my goals and objectives, confront difficult situations, reinforce my professional interests, identify my strengths and opportunities and take career actions and decisions. Jessica always challenges my behavior and give me tips in order to help me develop personally and professionally. I always try to implement her tips in my daily life.’
‘Our conversations also include personal and emotional aspects. The class is a space to talk about a lot of things that I don’t normally tell to everybody. She is very intelligent and has very good listening and communications skills. Her personality and professional experience in a multinational company allow her to make very good recommendations, challenges and comments! She helps me to see things that I don’t see by myself. Jessica is always mindful of my welfare.’
‘I am particularly confident with all the scenarios she gave us to practice. I also like it when she tells us how to be different by using other ways to say what we want to say.’
‘I felt very confident because all the rehearsal I did with you and was key to get this important result for my profesional career. I would really like to thank you for your commitment and professionalism, my achievements during this journey have been thanks to you.’

I was lost a bit sometimes, but in general I was able to manage the meeting. So I want to thank you very much, this has been possible thanks to you!’
